Accounting information systems (AISs), the core module of any enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, are usually designed as centralised systems. Nowadays, the continuous development and applications of blockchain, or more broadly—distributed ledger technology (DLT), can change the architecture, overcome and improve some limitations of centralised systems, most notably security and privacy. An increasing number of authors are suggesting the application of blockchain technologies in management, accounting and ERPs. This paper aims to examine the emerging literature on this field, and an immediate result is that blockchain applications can have significant benefits. The paper’s innovative contribution and considerable objective are to examine if blockchain can be successfully integrated with AIS and ERPs. We find that blockchain can facilitate integration at multiple levels and better serve various purposes as auditing compliance. To demonstrate that, we analyse e-procurement systems and operations using case study research methodology. The findings suggest that DLT, decentralised finance (DeFI), and financial technology (FinTech) applications can facilitate integrating AISs and ERP systems and yield significant benefits for efficiency, productivity and security.

The Way

Identifying factors defining the effectiveness of integrated AIS in the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) environment is really a challenging task. In our research, the effectiveness of integrated AIS in ERP is presented in the form of a Balanced Scorecard (BSC) model. This study analyzes data collected from 178 Vietnamese garment companies with AIS in an ERP environment. Then, Cronbach’s Alpha test and exploratory factor analysis (EFA) are conducted to assess the reliability of variables. The result identifies 28 variables from Vietnamese garment companies’ managers view grouped into 4-dimensional constructs of the BSC model that define the effectiveness of integrated AIS in an ERP environment. The conclusion on garment companies’ AIS evaluation factors paves the way for future research on other Vietnamese industries’ AIS evaluation in an ERP environment.

ABSTRACT This study investigates whether AIS instructors' selection of topics adequately prepares graduates for the expectations of employers seeking candidates who can adapt to the pace of technological change. As businesses adopt new technologies, stakeholders of the accounting profession must periodically reassess educational needs in the area of accounting information systems (AIS). Because AIS is a field that encompasses a wide variety of conceptual and skill-based topics, the selection of course topics can result in a “gap” between what academics and CPA firms expect from new accountants. Given the variety of topic areas, do academics and CPAs agree on which ones to emphasize, or what levels of proficiency are appropriate for each topic? In this study, academics and accountants, primarily in public practice, completed identical surveys regarding desired levels of proficiencies. The results suggest agreement on desired levels of proficiency regarding computer operation and use of accounting software to complete basic tasks and create reports, while suggesting differences of opinion in six other areas (understanding business cycles in an electronic environment, understanding data-sharing technologies, using XBRL, comprehending business needs and how technology could solve problems, understanding e-commerce, and the basics of safeguarding electronic accounting records). Participants concluded by offering observations about the strengths and weaknesses of newly employed accountants.

SYNOPSIS: Existing studies have found a linkage between institutional factors and systems adoption, but the literature has overlooked an important question: When is the decision to implement a system influenced by institutional factors? In this paper, the author argues that decisions to adopt systems are not influenced equally by institutional factors, and examines how system characteristics moderate the effects of institutional factors on adoption decisions, specifically decisions to adopt enterprise resource planning (hereafter, ERP) systems. The results of the study reveal that institutional factors, such as mimicry of peers, compliance with industry norms, and coercion from powerful entities influence ERP adoption decisions. The results also show that the effects of institutional factors on adoption decisions are amplified when participants have not already adopted an ERP system, the benefits of the system are difficult to quantify, and the system enhances organizational interaction throughout the supply chain. Through this paper, the author contributes to the institutional theory literature by exploring conditions that enhance the salience of institutional factors and contributes to accounting information systems literature by investigating the boundaries of the influence of institutional factors on ERP adoption.

Over the last decade, scientific literature has given more attention to enterprise resource planning system in the accounting context. In that sense, the authors perform a systematic literature review in order to map and assess the intellectual territory based on scientific publications from 2000 to 2018, in ISI Web of Science and Scopus database. Based on grounded-theory methodology approach, they performed a content analysis to develop their ERP-Accounting information interface literature framework. The results confirm that it is a recent and growing field of study. Five main groups were identified as well as the main authors and journals, such as International Journal of Accounting Information Systems, Qualitative Research in Accounting and Management, Journal of Accounting and Organizational Change, Management Accounting Research, Journal of Emerging Technologies in Accounting, International Journal of Accounting and Information Management, and Industrial Management and Data Systems. Mainstream and interpretative research approach are the main paradigms when studying ERP and accounting information relationship. The authors also identified recent key areas that may indicate tendencies towards future studies and which allows researchers to strategically focus their research.
