3.4 How does computerized accounting work?

Computerised accounting programs can perform functions such


as invoicing, dealing with payments, paying wages and providing
regular accounting reports such as profit and loss statements and
balance sheets.
A typical computerised accounting software package will be able
to complete a number of different functions and provide various
reports for financial reporting. Ideally your accounting software
will be able to complete every step in the accounting process and
finish with professional looking financial statements. These final
reports can be given to any entity looking for information on your
financial health.
Some features to look for in accounting software are:
 The ability to create sales invoices in the system and have that
data automatically populate the journal and ledger
 The automatic updating of customer accounts after data input
in the ledger
 Recording of suppliers’ invoices (accounts payable)in the
ledger
 Automatic updating of all accounts affected by data entry in
the ledger
 Recording of all bank receipts – often you can link your bank
accounts and download this information directly to the
accounting software
 Some software may be capable of making payments for
expenses although this feature will certainly not be
inexpensive
 Automatic updating of the general ledger from data input from
invoices and bills entered into the system
 Integration of an existing business database with the
accounting program to allow for greater data analysis and
more complex reporting
 Performs the automatic calculations of payroll and associated
entries after required data entry
Computerised accounting programs can provide instant reports
for management, for example:
 Aged accounts receivable summary – a summary of customer
accounts showing overdueand current amounts Traditionally
these are labelled and categorized as Current, 30 Days, 60
Days, 90 Days and in some cases will identify accounts that
are 120 Days overdue.
 Trial balance, profit and loss account and balance sheet
 Sales analysis – profit margins etc.
 Budget analysis – including forecasting options for next year
and comparison of last year’s numbers
 Payroll analysis including things like taxes, benefits, wages
and commissions
