ABSTRACT Computerized accounting systems improve organizational efficiency and save time. Therefore the researcher wants to investigate how computerized accounting systems affect the organizational performance. The research discusses current literature showing that most businesses, except the very smallest, now use computers to handle their accow1ting data. When businesses switch to computerized accounting, they soon discover that book. keeping and accounting skills are more important than computing ones. This is because users of many computerized accounting systems have very little to learn in order to use them. The study followed a case study design. A case study is a detailed examination of one setting or a single subject, a single depository of documents or one particular event. (Srass etal, 1990) as cited in Amin (2005). Case studies make an intensive investigation on the complex factors that contribute to the individuality of a social unit. Quantitative methods were used to capture data on outcomes, while qualitative methods were used to grasp data on processes and reasons for the pa1iicular outcomes. Recommendations ► Network essentials e.g. Network card, Network cables, Network connectors, Coaxial cables, Router and very small ape1iure terminal (VSA T). ► New sofh\'.are for•the management of human resources should be introduce4 in order to enhance performance (pi1macle software). ► Provision of virtual private network (VPN) through which the Telecom industry will collect and share the user name and password to their workers. ► Finally, users of this system should be given adequate training to cope with the usage of the system.
