Introduction:
Accounting وsystem وrepresents وas وthe وlanguage وof وbusiness وbecause و
cost, وprice, وsales وvolume, وprofits وand وreturn وon وinvestment وare وall و
accounting وmeasurements وand وthe وpurpose وof وaccounting وis وto وprovide و
information وthat وis وuseful وfor وdecision وmaking.1 و
Many وdifferent وusers وhave وneed وfor وaccounting وinformation وin وorder
to وmake وimportant وdecisions. وThese وusers وinclude وinvestors, وcreditors, و
management, وgovernmental وagencies, وlabor وunions, وand وothers. و
Where وmanagement وin وall وdifferent وlevels وneeds وthis وinformation وto و
perform وits وadministrative وfunctions وfor وplanning, وcoordination, وdirecting, و
controlling وand وdecision-making.
The وprimary وrole وof وaccounting وinformation وis وto وprovide وuseful و
information وfor وdecision وmaking وpurposes, وit وsometimes وemphasize وthat و
accounting وis وnot وan وend, وbut وrather وit وis وa وmeans وto وan وend, وwith وthe وend و
being وthe وdecision وthat وis وhelped وby وthe وavailability وof وaccounting و
information.2
The وfinal وproduct وof وaccounting وinformation وis وthe وdecision وthat و
enhanced وby وthe وuse وof وaccounting وinformation.
Accounting وinformation وis وone وof و وkey وelements وthat وplay وan و
important وrole وin وdecision وmaking وprocess وthat وcontribute وof وthe وsuccess و
of وeconomic وactivity وand وimproving وthe وadministrative وperformance, و
where وthe وmanagement وin وall وdifferent وlevels وneeds وfor وthis وinformation وto
perform وits وadministrative وfunctions وof وplanning, وcoordination, وdirecting, و
controlling وand وdecision-making. وThere و وis وno وdoubt وthat وthe وaccounting و
system وis وthe وmain وsource وfor وthis وinformation, وbecause وthe وaccounting و
system وprovides وthe وfinancial وreport وthat وinclude وthe وaccounting و
information وthat وpresent وthe وfinancial وactivities وof وthe وcompany وduring وa و
certain وperiod.

Accounting وinformation وis وuseful وin وthe وperformance وof وall و
administrative وactivities, وwhere وthe وadministration وbecomes وmore وefficient
when وthe وaccountants وprovides وaccurate وand وcomplete و وinformation وfor وthe
management, وand وbased وon وthis وinformation وthe وdecision وis وmade, وin وorder
to وthe وaccounting وinformation وbe وuseful وthere وis وsome وcriteria وand و
characteristics وmust وbe وavailable وin وthese وinformation.
The وmajor وbenefits وof وinformation وare وa وreduction وof وuncertainty, و
improved وdecision وand وbetter وability وto وplan وand وschedule وactivities.1
This وstudy وwas وconducted وon وservice وsector وin وGaza وstrip وwhich و
represented وof وJawwal وCompany:
Jawwal وstarted وfrom وPalestinian وland وas وthe وfirst وprovider وfor وcell و
communication وservices وto وconnect وPalestinian وparts وto وeach وother وand وto و
the وworld, وwe وcould وsay وthat وnow وit وdeserves وto وoccupy وthe وleading و
position وin وPalestinian وmarkets, وdespite وof وall وpolitical, وeconomic وand و
social وchallenges, وalso وbecause وof وthe وhigh وquality وof وits وservices وand وthe و
big وattention وto وtheir وeconomic وstatus وin وthe وmarket وand وthe وimportance وof و
its وdecisions.
The وtwo وresearchers وchoose وPalestine وCellular وCommunications و
Company "وJawwal" وas وa وsample وof وservice وsector.

Introduction:
2.1.1
In وbusiness, وaccounting وsystem وplay وa وvery وimportant وrole وin وthe و
companies وand وthe وsuccess وof وany وcompany وdepends وon وthe وperformance و
of وthe وcompany's وaccountants, وbecause وthe وadministration وbased وon وthe و
accounting وinformation وin وmaking وits وdecisions وthat وproduced وby وthe و
accounting وsystem. وTherefore, وaccounting وinformation وhas وa وgreat و

In وthis وchapter وthe وtwo وresearchers وwill وtalk وbriefly وabout و
accounting, وbut وthey وwill وfocus وmore وon وthe وaccounting وinformation و
(definition, وcharacteristics, وsources وand وusers وof وaccounting وinformation).
What is accounting?
2.1.2
Accounting وis وconcerned وwith وcollecting, وanalyzing وand و
communicating وfinancial وinformation. وThe وpurpose وis وto وhelp وpeople وthat و
use وthis وinformation وto وmake وmore وinformed وdecisions. وIf وthe وfinancial و
information وthat وis وcommunicated وis وnot وcapable وof وimproving وthe وquality و
of وdecisions وmade, وthere وwould وbe وno وpoint وin وproducing وit. وSometimes و
the وimpression وis وgiven وthat وthe وpurpose وof وaccounting وis وsimply وto و
prepare وfinancial وreports وon وa وregular وbasis.
.
While وit وis وtrue وthat وaccountants وundertake وthis وkind وof وwork, وit و
does وnot وrepresent وan وend وin وitself. وThe وultimate وpurpose وof وthe و
accountant‘s وwork وis وto وgive وpeople وbetter وfinancial وinformation وon وwhich و
to وbase وtheir وdecisions.1

One وway وof وviewing وaccounting وis وas وa وform وof وservice, وaccountants
provide وeconomic وinformation وto وtheir وclient, وwhoa وare وthe وvarious وusers و
of وaccounting وinformation.
The وquality وof وthe وservice وprovided وwould وbe وdetermined وby وthe و
extent وto وwhich وthe وinformation وneeds وof وthe وvarious وuser وgroups وhave و
been وmet. وIt وcan وbe وargued وthat, وto وbe وuseful, وaccounting وinformation و
should وpossess وcertain وkey وqualities, وor وcharacteristics.
