Thus, information flows in the management information system too by influence the effectiveness of decision making. According to Hornaren (1977) the question of what accounting system to buy, must focus on how decision and consequent benefit are going to be affected. One must also ask what decision will result from accounting data and what outcome will ensure from decision making.
