EVALUATING THE ADOPTION FACTORS OF COMPUTERIZED ACCOUNTING SYSTEMS IN GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS | ..

Despite the high availability of computers in the Zimbabwean economy, the study sought to understand why government schools had not implemented computerised accounting systems. The study used a quota sample of 36 respondents from 30 schools in Goromonzi District, Mashonaland East Province, chosen from a total of 100 schools with a minimum of one(1) accounts clerk or one(1) bursar. The data from thechosen study subjects was collected using a questionnaire survey.The study found that most government schools had computers, energy, and enough and skilled human capital to implement a computerised accounting system smoothly, but that administration attitudes and costs were slowing implementation. The Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education should take the lead in pressing for computerised accounting systems to be implemented in public schools. Government schools should be able to use public funds to purchase computer hardware and software to automate their accounting systems.Government schools should take a step-by step approach to implementing computerized accounting systems that allow for invoicing, receipting, and reporting of school financial activities.
