Assessment of effects in advances of accounting technologies on quality financial reports in Jordanian public sector

Abstract

The study aimed to examine the effects of accounting technology improvements on the generation of accurate and reliable financial reports in the public sector of Jordan. In order to carry out this inquiry, the researchers set research goals and formulated null hypotheses that were derived from these objectives and afterwards used in the study. The study used an ex-post facto survey methodology as its research technique. The study sample included 250 persons employed at the Ministry of Finance in Jordan. The research included a sample size including 152 people. A questionnaire was used as the primary tool for data collection in this study. The validity of the instrument was established by an evaluation conducted by experts specialising in the field of testing and measurement. The evaluation of the instrument's dependability was performed using the Cronbach Alpha reliability approach, yielding a reliability coefficient ranging from 0.73 to 0.85. The findings of this research demonstrate that the instrument has a significant level of dependability. The data obtained from the surveys underwent analysis using the Pearson Product-Moment Correlation (PPMC) and regression analysis approaches. The present study offers empirical data and affirms the growing significance of financial reporting in the global economic landscape. Ensuring unwavering trust in the financial information pertaining to the public sector has considerable significance for investors. The article proposes that the establishment of a comprehensive framework of guidelines for enterprises' information technology infrastructure would be advantageous for regulatory bodies, such as the Jordan Central Bank. The aim of this method is to reduce the potential danger of the public sector being overwhelmed by outdated technology.
