dc.description.abstract | The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of the implementation of enterprise
resource planning (ERP) system on the duties of accountants: a survey of Kenyan
Parastatals. The research objective was to explore the effect of implementation of ERP
system on the duties of accountants in Kenyan Parastatals. The research design adopted
was descriptive research design. The target population was 300 staff members of Kenyan
Parastatals who had a sample size of 30 respondents. A questionnaire was used as an
instrument of data collection and the data was analyzed by statistical packages for social
sciences (SPSS).The study findings concluded that when management accountants are
involved in the implementation of an ERP system there is an increased likelihood of
success. However, in the successful implementations, data quality increases, there is
more timely access to information, and decision-making is improved. Furthermore, a
successful ERP implementation results in significant changes in the tasks of the
management accountants. The study further concluded that management accountants
become more closely involved in business decision-making and perform other value
adding tasks rather than the routine reporting tasks that are now performed automatically
using the ERP software. | en |
