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.

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.
l Operating procedure ................................................................................

operating procedure blended with suitable operating environment of the
enterprise is necessary to work with the computerised accounting system.

accounting system. Explain.

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

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.

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. .
Solution
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.
·
Data Vault: Software provides
additional security through data encryption.
