Abstract: This research examined the association of users perceived ease of use, usefulness, and risks
with the intention of cloud-based accounting information systems (AIS) adoption. The research
involved 41 small-medium enterprises (SMEs) in Bandung as the samples of the study. The data was
collected using a questionnaires instrument with a purposive sampling technique. The results showed
that perceived ease of use (PEOU) and usefulness (PU) was positively associated with adopting a
cloud-based accounting information system. Meanwhile, the perceived risk (PR) had no significant
influence on the cloud-based accounting information system's perceived usefulness (PU). However,
the perceived risk significantly influenced to intention to use (IU) cloud-based accounting information
