The
aim of the study is to measure the level of awareness and adoption of
cloud-based accounting applications by accounting professionals (Certified
Public Accountants) The survey method was chosen as the data collection method
in the study. The questionnaire consists of questions about demographic
information, professional information and reasons for choosing -or not
choosing- web (cloud) based accounting program. The prepared questionnaire
forms have been applied to accounting professionals operating in the central
districts of Antalya. 297 questionnaires were selected according to analytical
fit. Accountants using the web (cloud) based accounting program are young and
middle age groups. The size of business and the type of book do not affect the
use of the program. The most important reasons for choosing a web-based
accounting program are the safekeeping and archiving of data, accessibility and
automatic updates. The reasons for not being preferred are the lack of
satisfaction/need from the current program and the lack of knowledge about
cloud computing. Accounting professionals using the desktop accounting program
do not have knowledge of cloud computing. Most importantly, accounting
professionals using web-based accounting programs are also unaware that the
program they use is cloud-based.
