Briefly discuss what computerized accounting in your own words? Discuss the salient
features.

In the old days, bookkeeping was done to report accounting transactions using ledger booklets.
The bookkeeper will report any financial transaction the industry has made in a journal. Not only
did the transaction need to be entered into the journal, but it will also have to be transferred to
other ledgers. Because of the hassle, there is a desperate need to reduce paper work and
eliminate huge volumes of account books. And this can be done by means of creating
computerized accounting system. Computerized accounting systems are automated programs that
are installed on a company's system, network server, or directly accessible through the use of the
Internet. This system is extremely reliable since records and documents will be kept confidential
compared to Manual Accounting System. Reporting in the computerized accounting system is
flexible. It is capable of providing any financial report as needed and for any span within the
accounting period, less clerical work, less possibility of errors and maintains uniform accounting
statements and records as possible.
