ABSTRACT
Modernity and Beyond: The Power of Accounting Information System and Its
Relationship to Al-Kanz Pharmacy’s Daily Transactions in Citiville, City of San Jose del
by
Jude C. Decendario
This research explores the impact of accounting information systems (AIS) on the
daily transactions of Al-Kanz Pharmacy located in Citiville, City of San Jose del Monte,
Bulacan. The study aims to (1) investigate the relationship between the utilization of AIS
and the pharmacy's daily transactions, (2) assess the effectiveness and usability of the
existing AIS implemented at Al-Kanz Pharmacy, and (3) propose recommendations for
with a specific focus on their utilization and satisfaction with the AIS. A comprehensive
customer satisfaction with the AIS was conducted to understand its impact on daily
transactions.
Through data analysis, the researchers identified significant correlations between
AIS utilization and daily transactions, highlighting the importance of effective technology
assessments revealed insights into the usability, effectiveness, and convenience of the

Greater inefficiencies arise due to extended wait times for information. For
instance, the absence of an automated link to current inventory data prevents customer
sales representatives from promptly informing customers about the availability of ordered

hypothesized that the two constructs were fundamental determinants of user acceptance,
due to evidence in previous research (e.g. (Johnson & Payne, 1985; Payne, 1982; Robey,
1979). The research suggested that an individual's decision to perform a behavior is the
result of the analysis of the benefit that they expect to receive from the behavior
compared to the effort/costs they put in to perform the behavior (Johnson & Payne, 1985;
Payne, 1982). This means that the use of the information system is determined by an
evaluation of the trade-off between the perceived usefulness of the system and the
perceived difficulty of using it (Davis, 1989). Perceived usefulness is defined as the
individual's perception of the extent to which the use of a given technology improves

consequences of the behavior (Ajzen, 2011). The higher the affective response, the higher
is the likelihood that the behavior will take place. The effect of perceived usefulness on
actual use can be direct, which underscores the importance of the variable in predicting
behavior. Although perceived ease of use does not affect use behavior directly, it
underpins the effect of perceived usefulness (Davis, 1993). The model implies that if an
application is expected to be easy to use, the more likely it is that it will be considered
useful for the user and the more likely it is that this will stimulate the acceptance of the
There were many drawbacks to the previous system. These included errors, as the
system was manually maintained by staff, making it common for errors to occur, which
could affect the organization financially, legally, and its goodwill. Additionally, the
system required a significant amount of time to enter data, as staff had to write it down on
paper meticulously to avoid errors. Searching for information in files was tedious and
time-consuming, as staff had to manually search through storage rooms. Furthermore, the
lack of a login system meant that information theft and leaks were possible, posing
security risks. In the event of a disaster such as fire or flood, the data stored in files could
be permanently lost, leading to significant financial losses and operational disruptions for
the company.
Computerized transactions would reduce errors and allow users to easily correct
restrict access to authorized personnel only. The new IT-based system would facilitate
business and financial analysis, while centralized data storage would ensure disaster
security and easy data recovery. Additionally, the new system would enable faster
information retrieval, allowing users to access information anytime and anywhere with
just a few clicks. Overall, the proposed system aimed to streamline data management,
reduce response time and redundancy, decrease the risk of fraud, and improve
communication by generating daily and weekly data reports for managers, facilitating
easier record checks for staff and management, and enabling efficient dissemination of

Indonesia. The SIMS system helped businesses to automate their inventory management
processes, which helped them to track their stock levels, monitor product performance,
and reduce wastage. This automation reduced the time and effort required for manual
stock taking and allowed businesses to optimize their inventory levels, leading to cost
savings and improved profitability.Also found that SIMS positively impacted customer

fulfill customer orders more efficiently, leading to faster delivery times and better
customer experiences. This, in turn, led to increased customer loyalty and repeat

Synthesis
Based on the extensive review of related literature and studies, it is evident that
the adoption and utilization of Accounting Information Systems (AIS) and Inventory
Management Systems (IMS) play a crucial role in enhancing the efficiency and
effectiveness of small pharmacies, such as Al-Kanz Pharmacy in Citiville, San Jose del
Monte, Bulacan.
Local studies conducted by Garcia et al. (2017), Santos (2021), Reyes and Santos
(2018), Tan et al. (2019), and Dela Cruz (2020) highlight the significance of AIS and IMS
in small pharmacies in the Philippines. These studies provide insights into the challenges,
benefits, and factors contributing to the successful implementation of such systems in the
local context.
On the other hand, foreign studies by Salami & Oyewo (2019), Acheampong &
Boateng (2020), Ahmed & Ahmed (2022), Khaled & Ahmed (2022), and Oladipupo &
Oyedele (2020) shed light on the positive impact of POS systems and inventory

pharmacies. By addressing these key factors and leveraging the insights from both local
and foreign studies, Al-Kanz Pharmacy can enhance its daily transactions, inventory
