Advantages The advantage of Kudler Fine Foods having a newer updated accounting information system will allow them to have a cutting edge over their competitors and allow the company to better manage their business.
Finances is what keeps a company stabilized for growth, if the money is in a deficit the company can only go down losing the ability to grow. The accounting system once integrated with all of the systems within Kudler will allow for data to become centralized and provide managers or other decision makers with analyzed reports that are timely and accurate. The goal to keeping the reports accurate is based upon how the information is being input, if it is input correctly the output will always balance out. This is because the system is built with sample master records, control files, and the ability to perform processes on a test basis. Another goal of the accounting system for Kudler is to provide information that is meaningful, relevant, useful, and
current.
Conclusion
Kudler Fine Foods is in need of an accounting system that will keep pace with its growth. The current system is too slow and not accurate enough for the demands associated with maintain good company records. A new accounting system has been recommended that is much faster and user friendly that will be able to monitor the company’s financial information, employees information, and to store the information securely. The new system will also be more beneficial due to its ability to provide accurate and detailed reports.
