Developing and evaluating the system

The design of t he system

This section describes the key system components together with their interactions with an artificial intelligence-based accounting information system.

First: The components of the system

The basic elements of the AI-based accounting information system consist in:

Database: The organization's accounting information is kept and handled in a database that can easily handle increasing amounts of data and is designed to withstand failures, ensuring the reliable management of enormous volumes of data.

Data collection system: Remote sensing and IoT among other modern technologies can automatically and constantly gather data from bills, financial transactions, customer and supplier information.

Data analysis system: Extensive accounting information is extracted and notable trends and patterns are found using artificial intelligence and data analysis tools including machine learning, big data analysis, and natural language processing.

User Interface: Users should be able to enter data, search accounting data, and obtain system reports and analytics thanks to an easily navigable user interface.

Report creating system: Comprehensive financial reports and analysis produced by the accounting information system might include financial balances, statements, analysis, and performance from accounting data.

Second: The Integration of the components

Therefore, it was necessary to clarify the most important characteristics that the system must possess to achieve the goals for which it was developed, which are: accuracy, speed, flexibility, reliability, data and information security, feedback self-monitoring, and cost (Al-Shanti, 2013, 101).

This section seeks to properly organize each developed component to form the final system. Component integration consists of the following phases:

To ensure compatibility and efficient functioning, the source code, files, libraries, databases, and other components of the system implementation are gathered and compiled.

After the assembly process, the components are tested to verify that they are properly integrated, connect with each other, exchange data correctly, operate as a system, have smooth data flow, and interact with other components.

The system's performance is evaluated to verify that it can handle the predicted workload, is responsive and efficient, and protects data using appropriate security methods. These tests are critical to system operation.

Following passing integration, performance, and security testing final integration gets the system ready for manufacturing. Here happens data transmission, configuration, and user requires adjustment.

The system is installed in a production environment and deployed to end users after final testing, requiring routine monitoring to ensure optimal functionality and resolve any malfunctions or issues.

After deployment, system continuity and user demands are ensured through bug patches, software upgrades, performance improvements, and technical assistance.

Behavioral patterns represent the cultural and social behavior patterns of the environment surrounding the economic unit, the impact of which is reflected in accounting information systems (Abdullah and Qatnani, 2007, 8). Behavioral considerations must be taken into account when developing and testing the developed system because these systems face strong resistance from various groups in the facility and to confront this resistance. The following must be taken into account (Saad and Al-Hasoumi, 2017, 13):

Effective participation of users in developing information systems.

Full senior management support for these systems development activities and processes.

C. Clarifying the policies of the economic unit and the challenges it faces and mobilizing efforts to support the development and application of the information systems necessary to meet those challenges.

In summary, component integration is indispensable for the success of a system, as it guarantees the desirable performance and effective interaction of every component. The system is constructed, tested, and deployed by the development team.

Developing the system

The system is developed through various steps that are displayed as below (Sarwar et al., 2021, 220):

At the beginning of the development process, the functional and technical requirements of an accounting system that is based on artificial intelligence are developed. These requirements include objectives, features that are essential, and features such as data analysis and advanced accounting reports.

In the second step, which was previously mentioned in the question, the system's design and its fundamental components are defined. Figure out the layout of the database, the user interface, and the tools that will be used for accounting reporting and data analysis.

This step involves programming and creating design-stage components. System components are built and tested using the relevant programming languages and development tools. You should verify component compatibility and integration.

A comprehensive system test is conducted to guarantee that it satisfies the established standards. This encompasses the evaluation of the system's functionality, compatibility, and performance. It is imperative to resolve any issues or vulnerabilities that are discovered during the testing procedure.

Following the testing stage, the technology finds application in the actual production environment. Data is shared, users are trained to operate the system suitably, and the system is setup.

System performance and dependability are evaluated after deployment. Review of the system's use and accounting data helps one evaluate accounting information quality and influence on decision-making.

The development of accounting information systems is a translation of the requirements that were previously identified into an integrated framework for information systems. Development is ideal if the information systems are compatible with the circumstances and capabilities of the economic unit, according to the feasibility studies carried out by the administration before the system design phase. Accountants play an important role in The system development stage is due to their knowledge of the users’ need for information, and the system developer must decide, based on the recommendations of the systems analyst, the method by which the information system will be developed (Naseer, 2018, 48).

The development team of an AI-based accounting information system must select the appropriate tools and programming languages. These are explained in the following:

Python, Java, or C++ are popular for developing systems in artificial intelligence due to their simplicity and compatibility with AI packages like TensorFlow and PyTorch, while Java and C++ can be used for complex systems.

TensorFlow, PyTorch, and Scikit-learn are advanced AI and machine learning technologies that enable complex model and algorithm implementation with powerful analysis functions.

Either MySQL, PostgresSQL, or MongoDB is a fast-performance, safe database suitable for storing the accounting data.

Development and source code administration are simplified by integrated development technologies such as Git and frameworks like Flask or Django.

In summary, the team's competencies and system requirements should dictate the selection of programming languages and tools, while the quality and stability of the system are maintained by software development and security best practices.

Evaluating the system

System performance evaluation is a crucial process that utilizes tests and case studies to assess a system's ability to meet user needs and goals. The following are some typical approaches of system performance evaluation:

Load tests that simulate real-world activity are used to assess a system's performance under very high loads. Under control are the response rate, time, and concurrent users of the system (Ortiza et al., 2020, 338).

Functional Performance Testing assesses, in terms of execution time, success and failure rates, and other functional aspects, the performance of the system. Accounting information systems have the ability to record transactions correctly through modern technical means, which requires the presence of an accounting system characterized by the following: efficiency, effectiveness, and speed. In proving transactions in a timely manner and providing the necessary information in a timely appropriate (Al-Fatlawi, 2013, 295).

Response Time Testing is employed to evaluate the length between when a user request is received and when the system answers, in order to quantify the system's performance and provide a seamless user experience (Ghani & Muhammad, 2019, 28).

Case studies evaluate the efficacy of a system in real-world situations, examining the benefits and potential difficulties, and assessing the system's ability to solve issues and achieve goals (Al-Jazrawi and Saeed, 2009).

Assessing the performance of a system requires analyzing data, interpreting tests, and submitting a comprehensive report that outlines results and proposes improvements. This process involves using certain metrics and criteria (Smeda, 2015).

Response Rate: The system's response time is measured, taking into account the number of requests received and processed within the specified timeframe.

Error Rate: The program calculates the percentage of errors or failures in operations, establishes acceptable error rate limits, and counts the number of errors successfully resolved.

Resource Efficiency: The system's resource consumption, including memory, processing, and network, is evaluated based on concurrent users and processing load size, and is compared to available resources and the system's effective resource management.

Performance Requirements: System performance is assessed against pre-defined standards, including response time and concurrent user handling, to determine necessary performance standards without negatively impacting system performance.

Because artificial intelligence is the result of the convergence of modern science and technology, this convergence has given it a number of characteristics, including the following (Deif et al., 2023, 447).

The ability to respond by dealing with difficult and complex situations and use intelligence to solve problems.The ability to deal with ambiguous situations while trying to deal with incomplete information, as well as the ability to present or present different perceptions.The ability to use old experiences and employ them in new situations, use trial and error to discover different matters, and distinguish the relative importance of elements of a situation or circumstances.The ability to learn: Most intelligent systems have the ability to learn from their experiences and tasks, and even have the ability to derive the appropriate model to solve the problem that is the subject of the decision, by using hundreds and thousands of transactions that occurred in the past, as is the case in applications of neural network systems and genetic algorithms.

In brief, regular system performance evaluations are crucial for maintaining good performance and continuous improvement, requiring specialized tools and collaboration between the development team and end users to ensure accurate and reliable results. It increases the possibility of its maintainability, as well as addressing the problems of monitoring or decision-making problems that are not easily defined by mathematical models (Al-Obaidi, 2023, 88).
