Introduction Accounting information is one of the most important pillars of an organization. Management requires accounting information to help it make the right decisions (Almazawdeh, 2015) by providing quantitative information on various activities in the organization (Nnenna, 2012). Furthermore, accounting information is an outcome of accounting information systems, whether manual or electronic, and such outcomes have properties and characteristics that illustrate and determine their quality. Such properties are the qualities that make these outcomes useful to users, which require the organization to keep abreast of the development in the systems and IT environment. In addition, quality is essential for measurement purposes and in line with the requirements of decision makers and investors when presenting the organization's financial statements (Kieso, 2010).
