Automation of accounting processes: Case study of the companies in Lithuanian

Abstract

One of the main conditions of successful business development is the assessment of the relevance of accounting information and the ability to make use of the opportunities it provides. These objectives can be achieved by automated accounting processes that release accounting and management staff from routine work so they can focus on creative processes. The research aims to investigate the level of automation of accounting processes in enterprises. The sample of the survey consisted of enterprises where the kolegija/University of Applied Sciences accounting study programmes students had practiced before; in 2017 – 67 and 2018 – 69. The research method included an analysis of information sources, a questionnaire survey, comparison and critical evaluation. The research results showed that the automation of accounting processes is increasing every year in enterprises.
