THE ROLE OF ACCOUNTING AUTOMATION IN IMPROVING SMES' FINANCIAL EFFICIENCY
Abstract
This study examines the role of accounting automation in enhancing the financial efficiency of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). By integrating automated accounting systems, SMEs can streamline financial reporting, reduce errors, improve cash flow management, and enhance decision-making processes. Evidence from recent studies and industry reports indicates that automation not only reduces administrative costs but also strengthens internal control, supports regulatory compliance, and increases overall business performance. The findings highlight that adopting accounting technologies is a strategic tool for SMEs to improve financial efficiency, competitiveness, and long-term sustainability.
