ABSTRACT

The study focused.on establishing the level of usage, benefits and challenges of computerized accounting systems (CAS)by small and medium  scale enterprises (SMEs). operating in the Umuohia Metropolis. A systematic sampling technique was used to select 367 SMEs for the study.

Descriptive statistics and inferential statistics were used to analyse the data. The results of the.

study revealed that only a few SMEs are using computerised accounting software.The low-level

of usage is attributed locost, personnel and lack of education on the benefitsofusingCAS.
