1
The Effect Of ERP System Implementations on the Usefulness of Accounting Information
2
Research Question Does ERP implementation affect the usefulness of accounting information?
3
Two primary qualitative characteristics –Reliability –Relevancy Timeliness Accounting information usefulness
4
Hypotheses H1: ERP implementation reduces reliability of accounting information. H2: ERP implementation improves timeliness of accounting information.
5
Theoretical Models Reliability ERP Timeliness
6
Reliability Model Reliability ERP Discretionary Accruals Conceptual Level Operational Level Construct Validity
7
Relevancy Model Relevancy ERP Reporting Lag Conceptual Level Operational Level Construct Validity
8
Research Design One-group pretest - posttest design –tests a single group before and after a treatment We test a group of companies before and after the implementation of ERP.
9
Regression Model -Reliability Analysis Dependent Variable---Discretionary Accruals Independent Variable---Pre (no ERP) and Post (ERP) Control variables –To control for confounding factors and increase internal validity
10
Regression Model -Relevancy Analysis Dependent Variable---Reporting Lag Independent Variable---Pre (no ERP) and Post (ERP) Control variables: –To control for confounding factors and increase internal validity
11
Data We obtain our sample of ERP system adopters from a proprietary database supplied by a leading international provider of ERP systems. Sample size –Reliability analysis:1645 observations –Relevancy analysis: 1585 observations
12
Reliability Analysis Results
13
Relevancy Analysis Results
14
Conclusions ERP implementations reduce accounting information reliability. ERP implementations improve accounting information relevancy.
15
Limitations Research Design-pretest and posttest design –Advantage: comparisons are made by the same subjects. –Disadvantage: confounding factors Alternative Designs?
16
Limitations Measures for reliability and relevancy –Construct validity
17
Limitations Sample selection –Selection bias –External validity
