THE USE AND EFFECTIVENESS OF ACCOUNTING INFORMATION SYSTEMS IN TRANSITION ECONOMIES
The constant developments in the area of accounting information systems unlock a wide area for contributing to the existing theory in the field of accounting information systems. Particularly in the case of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, where the benefits that the use of AIS brings with it, are not yet well recognized. The purpose of this research is to analyze the overall situation in the FBiH regarding the use of AIS in companies and its impact on strategic decisionmaking. Data is collected through surveys that were distributed to the companies in FBIH. Multinomial logistic regression was used to analyze the data. Research findings indicate that the industry sector and satisfaction with AIS are found to be statistically significant predictors of the probability of decision-making based on AIS and that accounting information is indispensable in the process of strategic decision-making, especially when it comes to the company's growth, investments, and borrowing.
