consuming processes associated with manual accounting. For
example, once issued, invoices are processed automatically making
accounting less time-consuming.
2. Accuracy: This accounting system is designed to be accurate to the
minutest detail. Once the data is entered into the system, all the
calculations, including additions and subtractions, are done
automatically by software.
3. Data Access: Using accounting software it becomes much easier for
different individuals to access accounting data outside of the office,
securely. This is particularly true if an online accounting solution is
being used.
4. Reliability: Because the calculations are so accurate, the financial
statements prepared by computers are highly reliable.
7. 5. Scalable: When your company grows, the amount of accounting necessary not only
increases but becomes more complex. With computerized accounting, everything
is kept straightforward because sifting through data using software is easier than
sifting through a bunch of papers.
6. Speed: Using accounting software, the entire process of preparing accounts
becomes faster. Furthermore, statements and reports can be generated instantly
at the click of a button. Managers do not have to wait for hours, even days, to lay
their hands on an important report.
7. Security: The latest data can be saved and stored in offsite locations so it is safe
from natural and man-made disasters like earthquakes, fires, floods, arson and
terrorist attacks. In case of a disasters, the system can be quickly restored on
other computers. This level of precaution is taken by Clever Accounting.

based accounting, than naturally, work will be done faster and time will be saved.

10. Advantages of Manual accounting
• Error Correction: Despite the convenience and market penetration of computer-
based accounting systems, manual accounting still offers several advantages that
make it a viable alternative. The first is error correction. Double-entry accounting,
attributed to Luca Pacioli, a 15th century Italian, provides a natural way to guard
against data entry errors and number transpositions. Every transaction gets
entered as a debit in one account, and a credit in another account. Trial balances
compare all debits and all credits. If these don’t match, an error is made
somewhere in the accounts.
• Data System Errors and File Corruption
Computer systems store data in ways that aren’t commonly understood by
many users. Opening the wrong file with old data or encountering a data file with
digital errors can ruin the validity of your current data. Manual systems use a single
file, the ledger, for each account. There’s no other version with similar data that
may be confused.
• Always Accessible
Power or internet outages won’t prevent you from working on accounts
unless you’re thrown into complete darkness.
