Evaluation study between the traditional financial accounting and electronic financial accounting and its impact on raising the efficiency of company's capital
The study evaluated the differences between traditional accounting system and Electronic
Accounting System (EAS) and their impact on enhancing the public capital efficiency of firms
and identified the reasons behind each system?s implementation, as well as each system?s
effectiveness in light of work. The study adopted Davis?s TAM to shed insight into the
acceptance/rejection of EAS implementation by sample members and the alternative use of
traditional accounting system. The study sample comprised of accountants employed in banks,
public shareholding firms and financial auditing firms, to which questionnaire copies were
administered to, in order to test the study hypotheses. From the findings, majority of the
accountants surveyed (96.4%) were using EAS in Jordan, with the top commonly used programs
being the e-table/excel (66%) and specialized programs were also being used by some
accountants (30.4%). On the other hand, the findings also showed that only few accountants
(3.6%) still employed traditional accounting system. As mentioned, Davis?s TAM was used to
shed light into the EAS usage among Jordanian accountants and its role in enhancing the public
capital efficiency of the firms. The study provided recommendations on how to promote the use
of EAS among accountants accordingly.
