This diploma program elaborates on Accounting Information Technology (AIT), their role in organizations, particularly in support of strategic and operational decision-making and problem-solving, as well as operations support and management.

With an AIT diploma, help a company:

1. Reduce the time spent on manual processes
Computerised accounting uses sophisticated software to automate manual accounting and bookkeeping processes, such as complex calculations.
2. Lessen errors and increased accuracy
Digital accounting ensures all entered data is calculated precisely, which means you won’t have to manually check your accounts every time you or a member of staff inputs new data.
3. Real-time financial information
Computerised accounting systems are synchronised and aligned with your online bank account. This means you will always have access to up-to-date information on whether invoices are being paid by your customers, as well as your business outgoings.
4. Automated invoices, credit notes and receipts
Many online accounting systems enable automated invoicing, crediting and receipting processes, which means you will remove time spent creating manual invoices, credit notes and receipts.
5. Innovative financial technology
Many computerised accounting systems are cloud-based, which means you can download apps for mobile phones and tablets.
6. Save money on resources
By streamlining your accounting and bookkeeping processes by using a computerised system, you (or a member of staff) won’t need to spend as much time managing your financial information.
7. Faster record-keeping leads to more business
Due to automated complex calculations, continual awareness of your finances, and less time spent on processing and checking your accounts, you can spend more time focusing on your business operations and increasing your profit margin.
