| dc.description.abstract | This study aimed at determining factors influencing the use of Computerized Accounting System among parastatal organizations. The specific objectives were to determine the technological, management and organizational factors influencing the use of computerized accounting systems at LAPF. The study used quantitative methods to collect data mainly survey and data collected were analysed mainly for descriptive and hypothesis testing for association and relationship using Chi-square and somer’s d test. Findings reveal that these are the setbacks for adoption and use of computerized accounting system at LAPF. However, the study did not find any relationship between use of computerized accounting system and managerial factors (participative decision-making, top management support, planning and reward system). This means that managerial factors do not influence use of CAS at LAPF. The study recommends LAPF first, to do cost benefit analysis of CAS updates, trainings and maintenance costs against the benefits, second to have standby facilities like backups power, computers, backup software for replacement when are needed and lastly to hire high trained IT expert to manage all unforeseen contingencies that can affect activities of LAPF. The government should support all organization that engage into CAS as they contribute to the national economy through taxation. | en_US |
