manual systems. Calculations are done automatically in software programs,
minimizing errors and increasing efficiency. Once data is input, you can create
reports literally by pressing a button in a computerized system.

computerized system, which requires a machine and software. Other
expenses associated with accounting software include training and program
maintenance. Expenses can add up fast with costs for printers, paper, ink and
other supplies.

up, in case of fire or other mishap. You cannot do this with paper records,
unless you make copies of all pages--a long and inefficient process.

balance is essential to produce the financial
statements.. With a computerized accounting
system, financial statement are generated from the
software itself and therefore there is no need to

computerized accounting system. Reports generated from
computerized accounting software allow managers to run the
company in a more efficient manner. Creating reports in a
manual accounting system may lead to more staff frustration
and result in having to work with outdated information.
