Background of the Study
Automated accounting systems utilize software to perform accounting tasks such as recording transactions, managing payroll, and generating financial reports. These systems offer several advantages, including reduced human error, enhanced efficiency, and real-time financial reporting. In Gombe State, many businesses are transitioning from traditional manual accounting methods to automated systems to improve the accuracy and timeliness of their financial reporting. This study aims to examine how the adoption of automated accounting systems impacts the accuracy of financial reports in businesses within the state (Abubakar & Gana, 2023).
