Journal Title: Zeszyty Teoretyczne Rachunkowości - Year 2018, Vol 2018, Issue 100
Abstract
Developing appropriate legal regulations and taking specific actions are the basic tools for ensuring accounting information resources security (AIRS) in business entities. Since 1995 businesses have been following appropriate provisions of the Accounting Act with regard to AIRS. However, the author’s research on the current level of AIRS assurance level in businesses showed that AIRS level varies considerably in various types of businesses. The following hypothesis is proposed in the paper: entities that endorse additional regulations (standards or recommendations) concerning internal control have a more effective internal control system in the area of accounting in the IT environment. On the basis of the presented empirical results, this hypothesis was confirmed, as in entities which follow additional industry regulations in this respect, the management is more committed to ensuring the security of IT accounting resources. During the research, the respondents indicated that they expect to have regulations developed (recommendations, guidelines) that will help them improve internal control in this area. The objective of the paper is to present original contribution to developing a national internal control recommendation . The introduction of such a recommendation may help managers design new and improve existing internal control systems in the area of accounting in an IT environment. Research methods used by the author include analysis of literature and legislation, analysis of survey results and inference.<br/><br/>
