| dc.description | In the earlier years, before the adoption, diffusion and use (utilization) of ICT in accounting and finance in Tanzania, business transactions were being recorded in the manual books of accounts and thereafter financial statements were prepared based on manual records. The transactions were being recorded manually into the books of accounts as and when they occurred. The adoption, diffusion and utilization of ICT in accounting and finance era had saved a lot time and made easier the accounting work since accounting records need to be referred to from time to time. Keeping records has also been facilitated and it is now easier to keep voluminous accounting records easily in the computer, without the fear of records being changed or stolen or destroyed by various agents of destruction. The adoption, diffusion and utilization of ICT in accounting and finance has also facilitated and made easy the retrieval process of records which have been kept electronically and can be printed when desired, instead of keeping voluminous books of accounts manually. This study explored activities of finance departments in the public sector organisations during the period prior to the adoption, diffusion and use of ICT in accounting and finance here in Tanzania and the period after the adoption to assess its practical impact. | |
