Abstract

In the past, businesses had to rely on manual bookkeeping, which meant writing down every single transaction by hand and double-checking everything to avoid mistakes. Imagine how frustrating it would be for an individual or a group of people to slowly keep such records. And the worst of it is the fact that their chances of getting it wrong would be very high. After this phase, the computer systems were introduced, which made it faster to record transactions and create reports. These systems worked well for many years and helped businesses keep track of their money more efficiently. However, today’s business environment is very different. Companies deal with much more data, they operate in multiple countries, and they face stricter rules and regulations. Old systems were not built to handle this scale and pace. According to Warren, Reeve, and Duchac, global markets have created pressures that older reporting systems cannot manage, leaving many organizations looking for smarter ways to keep their financial information accurate and useful.
