Accounting Records
Accounting records rest on the reliability and
security of stored digitalized data.
Accountants should be skeptical about the accuracy
of hard-copy printouts.
Backups - the system needs to ensure that backups
of all files are continuously kept
Most automated systems still have a lot of paper
documents.
This is good for audit trail purposes but is often
inefficient.
As the system becomes increasing paperless,
maintaining an audit trail becomes more difficult.
