20. Enumerate the basic requirements of computerised accounting system for a business organization.
(4)
Sol: The computerised accounting is one of the database-oriented applications wherein the transaction data is
stored in well- organized database. The user operates on such database using the required interface and also
takes the required reports by suitable transformations of stored data into information. Therefore, the
fundamentals of computerised accounting include all the basic requirements of any database-oriented
application in computers.
lAccounting framework.......................................................................................[2]
It is the application environment of the computerised accounting system. A healthy accounting framework in
terms of accounting principles, coding and grouping structure is a pre-condition for any computerised
accounting system.
lOperating procedure ........................................................................................[2]
A well-conceived and designed operating procedure blended with suitable operating environment of the
enterprise is necessary to work with the computerised accounting system.
21. The generation of ledger accounts is not a necessary condition for making trial balance in a computerised
accounting system. Explain.
(4)
Sol: In computerised accounting system, every day business transactions are recorded with the help of computer
software. Logical scheme is implied for codification of account and transaction. Every account and transaction is
assigned a unique code. The grouping of accounts is done from the first stage. [Briefly explaining what is account
groups and hierarchy of ledger].The hierarchy of ledger accounts is maintained and the data is transferred into
Ledger accounts automatically by the computer. In order to produce ledger accounts the stored transaction data is
processed to appear as classified so that same is presented in the form of report. The preparation of financial
statements is independent of producing the trial balance.
22. Intentional manipulation of accounting records is much easier in computerised accounting than in manual
accounting. How?
(4)
Sol: Intentional manipulation of accounting records is much easier in computerised accounting due to
following:
i.
ii.
23. Computerisation of accounting data on one hand stores voluminous data in a systematic and organised manner
where as on the other hand suffers from threats of vulnerability and manipulations. Discuss the security measures
you would like to employ for securing the data from such threats.
(6)
Sol: Every accounting software ensures data security, safety and confidentiality. Therefore every, software
should provide for the following:
Password Security: Password is a mechanism, which enables a user to access a system including data.
The system facilitates defining the user rights according to organisation policy. Consequently, a person
in an organisation may be given access to a particular set of a data while he may be denied access to
another set of data.
Data Audit: This feature enables one to know as to who and what changes have been made in the
original data thereby helping and fixing the responsibility of the person who has manipulated the data
and also ensures data integrity. Basically, this feature is similar to Audit Trail.
