on information systems
Adapting systems to the changeover is a complicated process that should not be
underestimated; all businesses need to prepare a project with all the changes resulting
from the changeover: what steps should follow the objectives and those responsible.
This implies: involvement of members from various areas of activity and the
existence of knowledge the following areas:
‣ Specify the business and software are used (users and management);
‣ designing and developing information systems (systems analyst)
‣ technical aspects of information systems (programmers);
‣ management and accounting (accountants and auditors).
Troubleshooting changeover requires involving the users in identifying
problems, but also in finding solutions for their resolution. The preparing start for the
changeover to a company lies in creating a true picture of financial accounting
information system, which requires:
• prepare a comprehensive list of systems that process financial accounting
information, underestimating the number of systems to be changed can cause major
problems after the strategy changes;
• documenting the technical details on how to implement systems:
documenting software solutions acquired or created with its own resources,
identification of programming languages and techniques used to
system implementation. Well-documented systems, which use modern programming
languages are easy to change, difficulties that can occur are scheduled instruments are
not used by the company or by employees who no longer work in unity; estimating the
degree of damage to the hardware resources of the changeover.
