The Health Management Information System (HMIS) is an essential core component in framing the national health system. To operate six core components synchronically and to manage them successfully inside the health system, HMIS and communication are also placed centrally. However, the unworthy problems of HMIS data have been significantly affected by several characteristics. Among these characteristics, the organizational factors need to be considered as important issues. This systematic review aims to examine what organizational factors are determining the HMIS data quality in LMICs after 2005. Two independent reviewers selected 38 eligible primary published papers from 22 LMICs through three popular online sources: MEDLINE and PubMed, HINARI, and Google and Google Scholar. This finding mainly highlighted that weak organizational structuring and processing, less organizational learning development regarding HMIS, unavailability of HMIS resources, poor governance, and political issues impacted the HMIS data quality in LMICs.

In many countries, the health care sector is entering into a time of unprecedented change. Electronic
Medical Record (EMR) has been introduced into healthcare organizations in order to incorporate better
use of technology, to aid decision making, and to facilitate the search for medical solution. This needs
those professionals in healthcare organizations to be in the process of changing from the use of paper to
maintain medical records into computerized medical recordkeeping opportunities. However, the adoption
of these electronic medical records systems has been slow throughout the healthcare field. The critical
users are physicians which play an important role to success of health information technology including
Electronic Medical Record systems. As a result user adoption is necessary in order to understand the
benefits of an EMR. Therefore, in the current paper, a model of ranking factors of micro-level in EMRs
adoption was developed. Surveys distributed to physicians as this study’s respondent in two private
hospitals in Malaysia. The findings indicate that physicians have a high perception means for the
technology and showed that EMR would increase physician’s performance regarding to decision making.
They have been and continue to be positively motivated to adopt and use the system. The relevant factors
according to micro-level perspective prioritized and ranked by using the Technique for Order of
Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS). The aim of ranking and using this approach is to
investigate which factors are more important in EMRs adoption from the micro-level perspectives. The
results of performing TOPSIS is as a novelty which assist health information systems (HIS) success and
also healthcare organizations to motivate their users in accepting of new technology.

Decision Support System Plan – Computer Systems Analysis & Design I1. The Scenario
Home Depot is seeking to cut on costs. Some of the areas which have been identified tend to be hot topical issues every time changes are attempted. These include the decision to source products domestically or having them imported. Others include the reduction of the number of employees as well as streamlining service delivery by redefining chores, job assignments, as well as supervision. The business also purposes to put up an information system that will increase positive output and reduce on cost. Even though the choice of the system has been inspired by the kind of challenges which firms like Home Depot experience while attempting trade-offs, it is important to appreciate that this is something that happens with every other organization. Therefore, there is the need for a ‘what if’ scenario so as to analyze situations and come-up with all the possible management outcomes. The issue, therefore, is facilitating the prediction of the behavior of the stakeholders on the basis of certain managerial decisions.2. System Description
The proposed system is called the Resolution Central Decision Support System. This is a Decision Support System, or DSS, that can be exploited by any organization to achieve its streamlining activities. In this case, the dependent variable is enhanced performance. This is defined by increased productivity, enhanced competitive advantage of the organization in question, as well as improvement in customer service. The customers should, actually, be in a position to report that this is the case, i.e. they have seen improvements with respect to how they are treated and their concerns are addressed. Figure I below indicates the conceptual framework. This is the relationship between the ultimate goal and the issues which define this goal.

An Analysis of the Adaptation of Electronic new Government Accounting System ...IJAEMSJORNAL
The Philippine Government, specifically the Commission on Audit, has made efforts to develop an Accounting System called the e-NGAS. It has an objective to improve productivity, transparency and accountability in financial management. However, as a system was introduced for agency adaptation, after a decade many agencies have not yet adopted it and it includes some agencies in the Province of Nueva Ecija. The researcher believes that understanding the factors of not adapting to the said system is the first step for a successful system implementation. Thus, this study seeks to identify, summarize, and better understand the factors that could affect user resistance. Adapted from the Theory of resistance by Klaus and Blanton (2010), factors are classified into four determinants as Organizational, Individual, Technical and Process Factors. However, technical factors are not included in the analysis of this study and are recommended for future studies. A total of thirty Government Accounting Employees from agencies that do not yet adapt to the eNGAS have answered the given structured questionnaire. And as a result, it reveals that Organizational and Process factors significantly affect the users. The factors such as lack of communication, lack of top management support, lack of training, lack of resources, work inconvenience, needed changes in employee's jobs and skills and communication process are among the factors specifically identified by the respondents. Through the information brought about by these studies, the researcher aims that it can help the eNGAS Steering Committee to develop more comprehensive strategies that can address such said factors.

Information System Success Framework based on Interpersonal Conflict Factors IJECEIAES
Information system success (ISS) has received considerable attention from researchers as it plays an important role in improving the efficiency and productivity of an organization. Several researchers have conducted empirical studies using numerous factors (e.g. organizational, technological, and individual factors) which affect the information system success. However, there are several factors which are related to interpersonal conflict which may affect information system success. The interpersonal conflict is a critical dimension which can greatly influence information system success in a competitive environment such as the financial sector. Therefore, this study introduces a framework to investigate the influence of interpersonal conflict factors on information system success in the Ministry of Finance, Yemen. The study employed a quantitative method which consists of the following steps: survey design, data collection and data analysis. A sample size comprising 130 employees were distributed in the Ministry of Finance, Yemen. Questionnaires were used to collect data from this sample. Data analysis (reliability, validity, correlation and factor analysis) has been carried out using SPSS. In addition, structural equation modelling (SEM) has been used for evaluation the research model. Based on the experimental results, the findings in this study revealed that the interpersonal factors (interference, disagreement and instability) significantly negatively (at 0.05 level of significance) influence user satisfaction of information system success.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

1. Introduction
The role of accounting information system is very influential for the organization because of accounting
information systems supporting the organization's business operations, managerial decision making, and is one
of the strategies to achieve the organization's competitive advantage (O'Brien, 2003).Guimaraes et al. (2003)
stated that the business has a high dependence on information systems developed. However, in spite of
influential of accounting information system financial fraud which had led to poor performance has continued to
be on incerease (Hadi Purnomo, 2012). Poor performance due to poor information systems (Azhar Susanto,
2008). The success of an information system is not only determined by how the system can produce well
informed, relevant and reliable, still also determined by compliance with the work environment, which means
that the information needed by the users of information systems. Although technically an information system is
perfect, but it can not be said to be successful if the users of the system can not use it. (Choe, 1996).Doll and
Deng (2001) states that user participation is an important factor that must be met in the success of information
systems.Tate (1990) User participation in information systems development is regarded as an important factor
influencing the success or failure of the implementation of the system. quality of accounting information systems
that will produce quality accounting information (Azhar Susanto, 2008).
In view of the above, this study aims the role of user participation on quality accounting information system and
its impact in quality accounting information.
2. Statement of the Problem
The poor local government financial reports. Of the 500 local governments in Indonesia, only 67 are unqualified
financial statements (WTP). This means that only 12 percent of local governments are able to manage and report
their financial well; For the fifth time, the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) does not provide a disclaimer alias
opinion of the Central Government to the Financial Statements (Audited). CPC rate, improvement of the
country's financial system has not happened yet thorough in all ministries / state agencies.
A system running effectively assessed, if it can meet the needs and desires of various constituencies within the
organization, either individually or as a group (Gibson et al, 2003). Information systems continue to evolve so
that necessary adjustments each time. Adjustments are made if there is a problem or if there is a new requirement
(Romney & Steinbart, 2005: 270).
according to the chairman of the Supreme Audit Agency found a number of documents in the troubled state-
owned enterprises; The Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) to assess the management of state assets in the region and
the Senayan Kemayoran still bad. Due to poor management, the financial statements of the Ministry of State
Secretariat 2009 and get a qualified appraisal.

The impact of the system that is not integrated more and more time needed to process the data, decision-making
becomes slow and it will inhibit the growth of the company in the future; found a number of documents in the
troubled State-Owned Enterprises. Audit Agency to assess, repair the financial system in the whole country has
not happened all ministries / state agencies.
In view of the above problems, this study examines the role of top management support on quality accounting
information system and its impact in quality accounting information.
Ambler (2002) argued that if the organization fails to identify the various interests of stakeholders (including
users) who will be actively involved, it will cause the system to become a low priority and so the system has a
high chance of failure. The user will be faced with many decisions programmed (programmed decisions)
compared with non-programmed decisions (Gibson et al. 2003). Doll and Deng (2001) states that user
participation is an important factor that must be met in the success of information systems.
participation of users in the short term is expected to increase the acceptance of the system by users, namely by
developing realistic expectations of the capabilities of the system (Gibson, 1997), providing a means for
bargaining and conflict resolution on system design problem (McKeen, 1981) as well as reduce the rejection of
change of user of the information system developed (Muntoro, 1994 in Suryoadi, 2004).
3. Objective of the Study
In view of the above problem this study considered the following,
1. Examining the roles of top management support on quality accounting information system,
2. Ascertaining the impact of quality accounting information system in quality accounting information
4. Literature Review
4.1 Concepts of Top Management Support
Top management support is the willingness of the top management to provide the necessary resource and
authority or power for project success (Verhage,2009). Cerrulo (1980) in Choe (1996) explains that top
management support includes the preparation of the assessment objectives or goals, evaluate the proposed
information system development project, defines the information and processes necessary, conduct program
reviews and information systems development plan. Choe (1996) cites the opinion Doll (1985) who stated that
top management support includes funding guarantee and prioritize the development of the system.Romney and
Steinbart (2012) states in order to minimize adverse behavioral reactions, one must understand why the presence
of a resistance / refusal / resistance to the system, several important factors include, among others, the support of
top management.Thus, from the above definition it could be said the top management support are management
wishes to provide information and processes required and determine the priority of system development.
According Muntoro (1994) top management support is not only important for the allocation of the necessary
resources, but gave a strong signal to employees that the changes made is essential.According to Bodnar and
William S. Hopwood, (2010), a crucial developing of systems that all businesses have the support of top
management. Then further Bodnar and William S. Hopwood, (2010) says that careful attention must be given to
the development of a system of planning and strategy, such planning must incorporate the support and approval
of top management. Research results Raghunathan and Raghunathan, TS (1988) state that top management
support effect on the development of information systems.DeLone (1988), and Choe (1996) has conducted
research to test empirically that top management support has a positive influence on system performance
information through a variety of activities. In line with the theory of Bodnar and Hopwood (2010: 29) which
states that the factors that affect the application of accounting information systems is the use of information
technology, the expertise of users, user participation, training, top management support and user conflicts.The
theory expressed by Arpan and Isaac (2005 : 7 ) , that top management support is an important factor in
determining the effectiveness of the application of information systems in organizations.
According to Arpan and Isaac (2007: 7) top management support is an important factor that determines the
effectiveness of the organization's information systems acceptance.
5. Activities being cariied out by Top Management Support
Top management plays a leading role in any system development cycle (system development life cycles), which
includes planning, design, implementation. Cerrulo (1980) in Choe (1996) explains that top management support
includes the preparation of the assessment objectives or goals, evaluate the proposed information system
development project, defines the information and processes necessary, conduct program reviews and information
system development plan. Choe (1996) cites the opinion Doll (1985) who stated that top management support
includes funding guarantee and prioritize the development of the system. Jarvenpaa and Ives (1991) and Boynton
et al (1994) find evidence that top management is an important factor in information technology investment and
influence the success of information system development (Lawrance and law, 1993).

According Muntoro (1994) top management support is not only important for the allocation of the necessary
resources, but gave a strong signal to employees that the changes made is essential. Top management has the
power and influence to socialize the development of information systems that enable users to participate in the
development of systems that will affect user satisfaction.Support of top management in this study was defined as
top management understanding of computer systems and the level of interest, support and knowledge of the SI or
computerized (Lee & Kim, 1992). This variable is measured with an instrument developed by Choe (1996) in
Soegiharto (2001). From the above one can say that The top management has an important role in every stage of
the system development cycle, including planning and implementation. The main task is developing a system to
communicate with top management on strategic planning, determinants of success and overall goals.
Development of the system has a risk when he accepted the management's opinion as fact right. The
responsibility of success or failure of the new system is on the development of the system.
6. Objectives of Accounting Information System
According to (Stair et al: 2010:7) A system is a set of elements or components that interact to Accomplish goals.
The elements Themselves and the relationships among Them Determine how the system works. Systems have
inputs, processing mechanisms, outputs, and feedback. definition of the system according to O 'Brien &
Headquarters (2010:26) is as follows:
"A system is defined as a set of interrelated components, with a Clearly defined boundary, working together to
Achieve a common set of objectives by accepting inputs and producing outputs in an organized transformation
process.While the definition of the system according to Hall, James A (2011:5), is: A system is a group of two or
more interrelated components or subsystems that serve a common purpose.
definition of the system proposed by Azhar Susanto (2009:18) that defines a system as a collection / group of
parts / components of any physical or non-physical well interconnected to achieve a certain goal. So the system
is built as a guideline to achieve one goal. Based on the opinion can be concluded that the system is the
components which integrate with each other to form a harmonious force to achieve one goal.
Laudon&Laudon (2012:15)Aninformation system can be defined technically as a set of interrelated
components that collect (or retrieve), process, store, and distribute information to support decision making and
control in an organization. In addition to supporting decision making, coordination, and control, information
systems may also help managers and workers analyze problems, visualize complex subjects, and create new
products. Information systems contain information about significant people, places, and things within the
organization or in the environment surrounding it. Definition of information systems according to Bateman and
Snell (2004:6) is:
Information system is an arrangement of people, data, processnand information technology that interact to
collect, process, store, and provide as output the information need to support an organization. Stair (2010:10) An
information system (IS) is a set of interrelated elements orcomponents that collect (input), manipulate (process),
store, and disseminate (output) of data and information, and provide a corrective reaction (feedback mechanism)
to meet an objective. AzharSusanto (2008:52) also suggests the definition of information systems as follows:
"The information system is a collection of sub-systems both physical and non-physical are interconnected with
each other and work together in harmony to achieve goal that process data into useful information. Based on the
opinion can be concluded that the information system is a collection of elements that integrate harmoniously
forming the power to process financial data financial information.
Bagranof et al (2011:5) Anaccounting information system is a collection of data and processing procedures that
creates needed information for its users. by Hansen & Mowen (1995:34) Accounting Information System is a
system Consisting of interrelated manual and computer parts, using process such as collecting, recording,
summarizing, analyzing (using decision models), and managing the data to provide output information to
users.Operationally, an AIS uses processes to transform inputs into outputs that satisfy the overall objectives of
the system. Bodnar& Hopwood (1993:2) an accounting information system is a collection of resources, such as
people and equipment, designed to transform financial data into information. This information is communicated
to a wide variety of decision makers. Hall (2011:7) The Accounting Information System AIS subsystems
process financial transactions and nonfinancial transactions that directly affect the processingof financial
transactions. byAzharSusanto (2008:72) accounting information system can be defined as a collection
(integration) of the sub-systems /components of both physical and non-physical and brerhubungan mutually
cooperate with each other in harmony to process transaction data related to financial issues into financial
information. Based on the opinion can be concluded that the accounting information system is a collection of
elements that harmoniously integrate with each other to form a process financial data into financial information
that is useful in decision making.
The objectives of accounting information system will help us to understand the role of information system
and its impact on accounting information quality. These objectives are ;
• Provide accurate information and timely so that it can perform the main activities in the value chain

effectively and efficiently
• Improving the quality and reduce the cost of production, both goods and services produced
• Improving efficiency
• Improving the ability to make decisions
• Improve knowledge sharing
According to Romney & Steinbart (2000, H.2), accounting information systems (AIS), which consists of human,
procedures and information technology has three main functions within the organization, namely: (1) to collect
and store data and transaction activity so that the organization can see what has happened in the normal course of
business; (2) Processing data into information useful for decision-making that enables the management to
perform activities of planning, implementation and control; (3) Provide sufficient controls to safeguard assets of
the organization including the data.
The above objectives could be said to have stonger impact on accounting information quality, because The use
of information technology as a means of data processing (EDP = Data Processing) in accounting information
systems or accounting processes in the industrial era in the organization carried out with the aim that the
precision and accuracy of data processing for the better (Azhar Susanto, 2008: 5).Accounting The information
system supports the organization's business operations, managerial decision making, and is one of the strategies
to achieve the organization's competitive advantage (O'Brien, 2003).
7. The Quality Of Accounting Information
In Big Indonesian Dictionary (KBBI), quality means: (1) the level of a good or bad thing; (2) the degree or
extent (cleverness, skill, etc.); (3) quality. Some definitions of quality which successfully identified by Reeves
and Bednar (1994) is: Quality is value (Abbott, 1955; Feigenbaum, 1951), conformance to spesifications
(Gilmore, 1974; Levitt, 1972), conformance to requirements (Crosby, 1979), fitness to use (Juran, 1974, 1988),
loss avodiance (Taguchi, cited in Ross, 1989), and meeting and / or exceeding customers' expectation (Goonroos,
1983, Parasuraman, Zeithaml, & Berry, 1985).
Reeves and Bednar, 1994 then defines: quality as excellence, as, as conformity and as meeting customer
expectation. according to them (Xu, 2003) although all four categories are still under debate by many parties, but
the definition of "quality" in the latter category is a broader definition is used, for example, by the American
Society for Quality (ASQ) and ISO 9000-2000.In line with the Reves and Bendnar, the concept of Total Quality
Management (TQM) states, that the quality is consistently meeting customer's expectations. Loudon & Loudon
(1996:417) also confirmed the same thing, that the quality of the specification illustrate kesusaian producer with
user satisfaction criteria such as physical quality of products, quality services and psychological aspects.
Thus, from the above definition it could be said quality will be more emphasis on activities to produce quality
information (information quality) that can meet the needs of users of information.
Wang, 2002: 693, concluded that the data is a symbol that can be codified and communicated that represent
entities, properties, and statements. The data have content (representation) and form / format (record) that allows
data to be stored, retrieved (retrieve), transferred, combined (aggregation) and analyzed.Azhar Susanto (2008: 40)
says that the data is facts or anything that can be used as input in generating information.The data will be
transformed into information when data is placed in a context implies dang (Wang, 2002: 693).
Quality of the information or the quality of information is needed by all organizations and is the key to success
for all organizations, economy and society. All organizations, believes that quality information is a critical point
for the success of their organization (Wang et al, 1998).
Quality information is information that is fit (fit) for the needs of the users of information, (Huang et al., 1999).
High quality information is public information precision (Hall: 2011:). However, Klein, 1998 (Xu 2003: 16)
states that in determining the suitability of the information and the needs of the wearer, each individual (user) has
different dimensions from each other.
Agmon & Athituv, 1987 stressed that quality information is seen as something that is suitable for use by users of
the information (Xu 2003: 37). DeLone and McLean, 1992 (N. Gorla et al. 2010: 213) confirms that the quality
of information is a concept related to the quality of the output of the system information. Namely useful output
(useful) for busines users; relevant to decision-makers; and easy to understand and meet the output specification
of the required user information. (N. Gorla et al. 2010: 208).
Bailey and Pearson, 1987 (busieness.clemsion.edu / ISE / html / information_quality.html), identifying 9 (nine)
characteristic dimensions of information quality, namely: Accuracy, precission, currency, output timelines,
reliability, completeness, conciseness, format and relevance. Finally, Xu, (2003: 55) enter the dimensions of the
quality of information in his study critical success for Accounting Information System Data Quality are:
Accuracy, timeliness, completeness and consistency.
The success of an accounting information system one of which can be seen from the dimensions of information
quality (Peter et al, 2008). According to Wilkinson et al. (2000), one of the goals of the accounting information
system is to produce useful information to support decision making by internal decision makers (internal

decision maker).Romney and Steinbart (2006), menyatakakan that the accounting information system designed /
developed properly, will be able to fix the decision of repayment.
Described by Wang and Strong (Heidmann, 2006: 79), that the intrinsic quality information occurs when the
properties of the overall information isolated from the user, the task and the particular application. Contextual
information quality, that quality information essential requirements must be defined relative to the user, task and
specific apllication. While the categories of representational information quality, a quality information drawn
from the effectiveness of the presentation of information, ie, how much information can be interpreted and
understood.
Wang, Storey & Firth, 1995 mentions that the dimensions of the quality of the data used in accounting and
auditing are accurate (accuracy) were measured in terms of frequency (frequency), size (size) and distribution of
data errors (distribution of errors). While Feltham, 1968, using the dimensions of relevance and timelines as an
attribute of the quality of accounting information. Hongjian Xu (2012) identify the dimensions of the quality of
accounting Opera composed; accurate, timely, complete and consistent the data
According to O 'Brien (1996:) useful information (useful) product that has the characteristics, attributes or
qualities that help make it valuable information to the wearer. Information which is useful information to have
three dimensions: time dimension (time), the content dimension (content) and the dimensions of the shape
(form).menurutJames Hall (2011) useful information (useful) has karakateristik-following characteristics:
relevance, timelines, accuracy, completenens and summarizing.Based on the above, the dimensions of quality of
accounting information is accurate, complete and consistent.
8. Influence of Top Management Support in Accounting Information System Quality
8.1 Role Of Top Management Support
Decisions are often repeated (whether structured, semi-structured and unstructured) can often be obtained by
making use of a decision support system that is top management support. The use of decision support systems
can not be separated from the role of management information systems that exist within an organization that is
the interface where the top managers of top managers in control of decision-making synergies.
Because of the strategic decisions cover various areas of operations of a company, they need the involvement of
top management. Top management has the perspective needed to understand the broad implications of such
decisions and the authority to authorize the allocation of the necessary resources. The most decisive step success
system planning is the first step in getting the full support of top management / supervisor (Wilkinson, 2009:
250). .
The top management has an important role in every stage of the system development cycle, including planning
and implementation. The main task is developing a system to communicate with top management on strategic
planning, determinants of success and overall goals. Development of the system has a risk when he accepted the
management's opinion as fact right. The responsibility of success or failure of the new system is on the
development of the system.
DeLone (1988), and Choe (1996) have done peneltiaan empirically test that top management support has a
positive influence on kenerja information systems through a variety of activities. Top management is responsible
for providing general guidelines for information systems activities. The level of support offered by the top
management for organizational information systems can be a very important factor in determining the success of
all activities related to information systems (Raghunathan and Raghunathan, 1988).
Top management plays a leading role in any system development cycle (system development life cycles), which
includes planning, design, implementation. Cerrulo (1980) in Choe (1996) explains that top management support
includes the preparation of the assessment objectives or goals, evaluate the proposed information system
development project, defines the information and processes necessary, conduct program reviews and information
system development plan. Choe (1996) cites the opinion Doll (1985) who stated that top management support
includes funding guarantee and prioritize the development of the system. Jarvenpaa and Ives (1991) and Boynton
et al (1994) find evidence that top management is an important factor in information technology investment and
influence the success of information system development (Lawrance and law, 1993); Szajna and Scamell (1993)
and more specifically on the planning information (Raghunatan and Raghunatan, 1988).DeLone (1988) and
Choe (1996) has proposed and empirically tested that top management support has a positive influence on
system performance information through a variety of activities. Top management is responsible for providing
general guidelines for information systems activities.
9. Impact of Accounting Information System Quality in Accounting Information Quality
9.1 Role Of Accounting Information System
O'Brien ( 2003) states that information systems can help managers by providing the information
necessary to carry out any managerial functions . Scott ( 2000) states that the accounting information system
aims to present financial statements that are designed for external users and internal users . Hall ( 2010: 14 )

states that fundamentally , the purpose of accounting information systems are : ( 1 ) provide information about
the organization's resources are used , ( 2 ) presents information related to management decision -making , and
( 3 ) provide information to personnel operations in order to assist the personnel carrying out their duties
efficiently and effectively .
Azhar Susanto (2009 : 6 ) states that for a company , accounting information system is built with the primary
goal to process accounting data from various sources into the accounting information required by a wide range of
users to reduce the risks when making decisions .
Proof - of-concept related to the above theory influence the quality of accounting information system accounting
information quality empirically show the results as follows : study Salehi et al ( 2000) , about the success of
information systems in economic emergence in Iran , the results showed that the accounting information system
can correct the truth of the financial statements and financial reporting .
Studies conducted by Sajadi et al ( 2008) on the effectiveness of accounting information systems research also
showed that the results of the implementation of the company's accounting information system , can lead to
improvements in the quality of financial reporting and accelerate transaction processing companies .
Study conducted by Bonson and Pilar ( 2010) on the improvement of the integrity of accounting information
systems through new technology showed results consistent with the two previous researchers , that the
accounting information system can be considered as a support base for satisfying requests for information during
the decision -making process .
To complete the proof of the influence of the quality of accounting information systems on the quality of
