Effect of Computer on the Performance of Office Professional

Abstract

This study examines the effect of computer technology on the accounting profession, specifically focusing on how it affects accountants in their professional roles. The research aims to explore various aspects of how computers influence the work of accountants.

Several hypotheses were developed for this investigation:

1. Computers have no effect on the accounting profession.

2. Computers do not perform tasks with the speed and accuracy that would significantly ease the workload of accounting staff.

3. Computers are not a beneficial tool for accountants.

The study extensively discusses the ways in which computers have benefited accountants, including an overview of different types and generations of computers. It also highlights common challenges encountered due to the introduction of computers in accounting and related fields.

The structure of the study is as follows: Chapter One provides an introduction to the research. Chapter Two reviews relevant literature from textbooks, newspaper articles, and journals. Chapter Three outlines the research methodology. Chapter Four presents and analyzes the data, followed by its interpretation. Finally, Chapter Five contains the conclusions drawn from the research and offers recommendations. Given the frequent use of technical terminology, a glossary of terms is included.
