accounting standards.
Operational Problems
There is some incompetency in the system with specific error responsible for the
dismantled functioning along with the uninstallation of diverse versions of the system. In
addition, there is also a major impact on the system performance leading to the data file
connection failure (Blount et al., 2016). Moreover, it is not easy locating files that lead to the
various forms, on the basis of data section copying and moving.
Acquisition Methods
The implantation of the ERP system into the QuickBooks is mainly for the use of the
progression and effective working on the implementation of software. In addition, there are
certain chances for working on the ERP solution needs with the business needs recognition of
the same. While considering the upgradation of the companies from the QuickBooks, the
companies can be listed by the online publication (Singh, 2016). List of numbers of
important things that are considerable at the time of upgradation of QuickBooks in the online
publication, with the everyday transaction process with end user numbers, along with the

reporting of the capabilities, data volume and accountability are there. Integration and
adaptability with the enterprise system for easy scale and meeting the requirements of the
user are one of the major advantages of the ERP.
Flow Chart and the sales procedure
An easy setup of sales procedures is there in the ERP, where the employee payroll
centres, payments of the employees, time entering are present along with the patterns of the
liability. This will also be helpful for handling the vendors’ details that is inclusive of the
receiving the all inventory measures, order purchasing, entering of the bills basically against
the process of inventory along with the entering and bills payments. The sales tax

management is through the process of sales order with the estimates for the customers for
building an easy process of sales receipt for the people (Sledgianowski et al., 2017). Apart
from this, this will also be helpful for both the improvement of the system procedures and the
formats accounting to the statement charges. The credit and the refund are dependable on the
recording the deposits, conciliating, writing the cheques and lastly acknowledging the same
with the register. Along with this, the procedures of sales work on the handling of the proper
banking approaches where an easy system of change tracking is there that is dependent on the
management of the process of the packing as well as the item shipment. A complete track of
the information details is related to the ERP system for the management of the banking
functions related details (Murray, 2016).
Controlling fraud
People facing the theft related issues along with the issues of the fraud, which has
been including the company also formats with the standards that is embezzling, as has been
observed. Different transactions working upon the basis are there, where the basic tendency
of breaking as well as stealing the data are seen in the most trusted employees. Here, some
changes are apparent that are related to the fraud issues, other data and the employee salary. It
has been noticed that the focus of the work is on the creation of the data as well as on the
process of the modification, where the need for considering the procedures of internal
controlling is there as well. Here, the work of the people can be one on the easy processing
standards of cash deposits (Zhang et al., 2016). In addition, there is also the presence of the
easy process of detection where fake accounts of the employees are made by theme for
themselves in order to earn more money.

2. PART 2:
Development and Adoption
The process of development and adoption are done through IBM with 9PAC that
comprises of the easy storage and the access of the same is mainly in the format that is
accessible. Several forms are there in the system inclusive of the proprietary accounting
system. The proprietary accounting system further includes the processing as well as working
on the functionality of the system. Here, some formats are present that are related to the
development of SAP RF, consisting the forms with both the easy transaction and decision–
making process, with diverse forms of limited intermediaries (Adukwu, 2016). The basis of
the application is the user interface working that further works on the Teleware striking
options packages of accounting. External facing with the water filters that is responsible for
the usage of the different technologies creates the base o the development. Working area of
the software is on the fair amount along with the battle indicating innovation adoption. It is
based on the easy setup of the system and the technological highest quality. The study
proposes that the software technology for accounting works for executing the different
characteristics. This is inclusive of the application software process responsible for the
functional modules such as receivable account and payable account (Church et al., 2017). The
basis for the accounting is the structure based on online with forms that is internet-enabled as
well as the patters based on desktop.
Market Size
This comprises of the formats with Australian accounting software packages
including the various forms of 1662 smaller people in the business based in Australia. The
characterization of different forms is marked with the commission and omission, with the
costs leading to the different ledgers’ development, sales and the purchasing of the same. The
formats of the accounting engage the paperwork and the different forms working effectively

on the standards and forms. Several reports are there that is marked with efficacy standards
and automatic system with better business growth.
Leaders & Competitive Advantage
High-end markets that are mainly for handling the accounting software for business
with ERP planning are three. It is considered that XERO is high-end solution, which is
designed for supporting certain process of the company (Tippett et al., 2017). In addition,
there are forms for the easy set up of the areas dependent on the smaller development teams
by the application. The elevation in the risk of the vendor business failure decreases the
support availability. The work of the accounting process focuses on the ledgers, sales,
purchase, cashbook with petty cash ledgers and the trial balance. This also works on the
process of manual accounting that engages the bookkeeping process along with the usage of
inputs for correcting the accounts and automatic generated reports.

The competition in the market is increasing rapidly with the pace of time for the
accounting software capable of handling large numbers of customers related to the medium
and small sized business. Different numbers of players are there that includes MYOB, Intuit
and XERO. In addition, the focus o the companies are also on the computing, where it is

Here, the gaps that have been identified are set to the software of the desktop accounting with
challenges to maintain, collect and process the accounting books. It works on challenges with
for formatting the desktop process with inconsistency and (Dunbar et al., 2016). Cloud
accounting and the integration of the business capabilities is included in the usage of the
business, which further includes the setup with annual accounts reconciliation with the time
consumption with inconsistency and errors.

Recommendations
XERO is based in the development of model software with the Software as the
System that is capable of providing a better API where third party vendors are there. In the
third party vendors the general tendency of the customers include the integration of the
unifies ledger process application, in the cloud. The working of the SaaS is based on the user
capabilities for working on application for operating on the cloud infrastructure with the
operations through thin user surface. The usage of simple web browser where the cloud
computing happens through chiefly through the transformed forms are included in this. It also
includes the IT landscapes, which is set with the cost effective patters bringing. The users
face the major concerns for working on handling system process and security measures with
the technologies and security standards (Boulianne, 2016). This also collaborates the working
on the information assets for cyber crime and risk, which are associated with the cloud
computing. For solving the challenges, the Identify management is there, with easy carrying
of the service authentication of the services. The basis of this is the forms where various
characteristics and credentials are there for working on the process describing and self-
defending where the Trusted Computing Framework creates the computing environment.
Conclusion
It is based on the software for accounting, where the development of the system is
based upon the language of the computer, from simple programs is set with the complex
system of computing. Australia has been working on one of the biggest accounting software
where the providers must work on competition in the market with the integration of the
accounting software in the cloud and the ways for challenging the associates to the desktop
accounting software. It is considered that the security is the major problems as well as the
cloud computing process (Thomas, 2016). Dealing with the measures for authentication and

the working with prediction of cryptography in the information security centric create the
base of the strategy.
