Зв'язки між інформацією системи обліку та логістичної системи господарюючого суб’єкта

Abstract

Досліджено спільні риси інформаційної системи бухгалтерського обліку та логістичної системи підприємства. Розкрито організаційно-економічний механізм використання облікових інструментів для підвищення ефективності управління логістичними процесами. Сформульовано окремі підходи до системного використання бухгалтерських інструментів для підтримки логістичних процесів. The aim of this study is to identify similarities between the accounting information system and the logistics system of an individual economic entity. The background for this type of analysis is provided by the characteristics and the role of the individual information company where the key role regarding the economic information is played by accounting. The presentation of the main characteristics and functions of accounting as well as the definition of the notion and the characteristics of logistics will be followed by the answer to the question about the possibility of using the accounting tools for a more effective management of the logistic processes within the company. The present study is theoretical and the main research method used for the preparation hereof was a critical analysis of the secondary sources (volume forms and articles) and the primary sources (balance law acts) regarding the theory of information systems, accounting and logistics. The accounting system and the system governing a company's logistics are characterized by certain common features. They primarily include a similar sequence (stages) of the logistical processes and their interdisciplinary and systemic character. Therefore, there are strong connections between both these systems. This primarily refers to accounting and particularly the management accounting which show a huge potential and the capacity to support the decision-making processes in logistics. The said potentials apply particularly to the adaptation for the needs of the logistics with respect to cost accounting, budgeting and some financial accounting tools (charts of accounts, inventory, financial reporting). The present study was intended to indicate the directions of looking for the possibilities to use accounting tools in order to support logistical processes.
