The research method used is a literature study using the keywords information technology, accounting developments, and accounting information systems. The research results show that advances in information technology have enabled the development of more efficient and effective accounting information systems. An accounting information system that is integrated with information technology can increase the accuracy and speed of data processing, and enable better decision-making. However, the use of information technology can also pose challenges, such as data security risks and the need for special skills in its use.
