With the development of social economy and the increasing scale of production, any enterprise must always reform and innovate its production management system and technology in order to achieve its profit target and maintain its market competitiveness. In the information age, the application of information technology in enterprise management is an important embodiment of enterprise technological innovation. As the main body of social economy, enterprises play an important role in the market economy. Generally speaking, enterprises are faced with the tasks of reducing capital turnover time, lowering inventory level, speeding up product development, improving customer service level and enhancing internal knowledge enjoyment. As long as these tasks are done well, enterprises can maintain lasting profitability. The realization of these goals needs the support of advanced information technology. In today's society, no company can ignore the ability of information technology to organizational change and core business adjustment. Information technology has indeed become an important force, which can greatly change the organization, customer service and internal and external communication. The core of informatization construction is to improve the management level of information resources, and promote the improvement of enterprise management level through the management of information resources.
First, the characteristics of enterprise financial management information system
With the wide application and popularization of the Internet and the operability of the Internet open architecture on different platforms, the financial management system represented by ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) has been widely used in enterprise financial management activities because of its high integration, timely information processing and accurate data. First, in the production and operation activities of enterprises, financial management is highly integrated with business links such as design, production, supply and sales. For example, in ERP, the financial management module and other modules in the system have corresponding excuses and can be integrated with each other, so as to realize the integration of financial management and related links outside the enterprise. Realize enterprise organization and management? Pingping? The reform shortens the distance between the decision-making level and the operation level of enterprises, and also promotes the integration of enterprise resources, making enterprise activities more in line with scientific and reasonable management requirements. Second, through the role of the information technology system, the management activities of the enterprise can also be enjoyed in real time, so that every operation process and specific content can be reflected in the information system in real time, which is convenient for the information inside the enterprise to enjoy, so that the decision-making department can respond in time and the executive department can implement it in time to prevent various problems caused by information lag. Thirdly, the information processed by the financial management system also has the characteristics of accuracy and flow. The information processed by the information technology system is accurate and cannot be changed at will. And the collection, analysis and control of financial information can be directly oriented to specific business processes, which is also conducive to the reorganization of business processes and comprehensive cost control.
Second, the role of information construction in enterprise financial management
Enterprise financial management information system can make use of the advantages of integration to closely combine the business activities of the whole enterprise, so that any economic activities of the enterprise can be recorded and reflected in this information system in real time, and the financial management of the enterprise can truly achieve budget in advance, control in the process and accurate accounting afterwards. Generally speaking, the functions of enterprise financial management informatization construction are as follows: First, strengthen accounting function and help enterprise management. For example, ERP system can add cash management, fixed assets accounting, multi-currency accounting, salary accounting and other functions on the basis of traditional accounting functions, thus reducing the workload of traditional report preparation, ensuring the uniqueness of data sources and the accuracy of the cross-checking relationship between data, and finally optimizing the cost control process, providing accurate basis for later cost budget and control. In addition, the financial management information system can realize the real-time management of business processes, make each module interrelated, ensure the accuracy of data processing, and also allow financial personnel to query and check business information at any time, and make financial analysis, control and prediction according to business development, thus making the center of financial work change from measurement and accounting figures to processing and processing information. Second, it provides a unified platform for the synchronous management of enterprise finance and business. The information integration system makes all the production and operation links of the enterprise closely linked with the financial work of the enterprise, which can realize the rapid tracking control of the cost, and the financial personnel can make real-time accounting and analysis according to the operating conditions, and effectively restrain and control the cost elements in a targeted manner. In addition, the information integration system can also realize the unification of enterprise fund management. Financial personnel can determine the flow of enterprise funds according to the business development of the enterprise, and business personnel can improve and improve the efficiency of project funds and reduce the cost of enterprise funds according to the information fed back by the financial department, thus forming a working mechanism of mutual supervision and mutual restriction between the financial and business departments, making the information in the information system more timely and objective and the data more accurate and effective. The information integration system can also optimize the overall fund management process, make the fund management of enterprises more real-time and orderly, reduce the interference of human factors during the period, and make the whole management process more objective and scientific. Finally, on the basis of the unification of financial accounting and business management, we should do a better job in the financial budget of the enterprise, compare the differences between the budget and the actual implementation, make necessary adjustments, and make the management of the enterprise monitor the budget implementation in real time before, during and after the event. Third, realize the transparency and flattening of enterprise financial management. The biggest advantage of enterprise financial management information system is to realize the information sharing within the enterprise, the information resource sharing within the whole enterprise and even the enterprise group, and the information communication between finance and business. Through the information system, enterprises can enjoy information including company profits, investment returns, capital gains, related transactions and so on. , so as to ensure the unity of the whole financial accounting caliber and the accuracy and completeness of external statements. On the basis of information transparency, financial management information system can also realize the flattening of enterprise management mode. Managers of enterprises can use the collective information management system to make comprehensive use of information and make scientific management decisions. With the help of enterprise financial management information system, enterprise management decisions can be more effective. To sum up, strengthening the informatization construction of enterprise financial management plays an important role in improving the internal financial management process, improving the efficiency of enterprise capital use and enhancing the transparency and flattening of enterprise decision-making. Informatization construction is of great significance to the realization of the overall business objectives of enterprises.
Three. Problems in the application of information construction in enterprise financial management
While clarifying the necessity and important role of the current enterprise financial management information system construction, we should also recognize some problems that may occur in the current enterprise financial management information system construction process, and on the basis of finding out the problems, make targeted improvements to the problems. At present, the construction of enterprise financial information management has the following problems:
1. The enterprise's own financial management foundation is weak, and it does not have the basic conditions for information system construction.
Some enterprises do not have a complete set of rules and regulations, the basic financial accounting process can not be straightened out, the basic financial data is incomplete, and the business process is chaotic. On the basis of lacking perfect production, sales and management data, the construction of financial information system is even more difficult.
2. The content design of the financial information system is seriously inconsistent with the original financial system of the enterprise.
Any management system is rooted in the actual production and operation activities, which requires enterprise managers to make specific screening in combination with their own business characteristics and management needs when choosing financial management information systems. Copying imported software or blindly relying on consulting companies will only cause more confusion in enterprise management.
3. The information management thought is out of touch with the technical system.
How did you do? Simulated handwork? Financial system and? Information island? . The former means that the degree of enterprise information management is not enough, and only the manual business such as voucher entry, report generation and current reconciliation is simulated by computer, but the financial information management is not really realized. The latter means that despite the implementation of the information system, the systems of various departments still exist relatively independently? Information island? Phenomenon, the financial information of enterprises still can't really enjoy * * *.
4. The professional quality of financial personnel needs to be improved.
Any information system work needs professional and high-quality personnel to implement, and to improve the informatization level of enterprise financial management, it requires the financial personnel of enterprises to have qualified professional financial knowledge as well as considerable information technology knowledge. However, many financial personnel are not skilled in information technology, which leads to the inability to effectively master the functions and operation processes of system modules during the use of the system, thus hindering the process of enterprise financial work informatization.
5. The investment and maintenance cost of financial system is high, which is beyond the capacity of enterprises.
The construction of enterprise financial information system is not a simple copy and paste process, but a personalized customization process for the development needs of enterprises. With the change of enterprise business and scale, this system needs to be updated in time and needs high development cost, which hinders the large-scale popularization of information construction.
Fourth, the perfect path of enterprise financial management information construction
In view of the problems existing in the above-mentioned enterprise financial management system construction, we should improve it from the following aspects:
1. Enterprise managers and persons directly responsible should pay enough attention to and participate in financial information management.
The emphasis on financial management informatization is manifested in providing timely and sufficient funds for the input of ERP projects, guiding employees at all levels to unify their thinking from the company's management system and operating rules, and taking the lead in solving major decision-making problems. At the same time, the establishment of a division of labor responsibility system led by its main leaders, only the managers and leaders of the enterprise give enough attention, the employees of the enterprise can truly establish a sense of responsibility and sense of competition, ensure that all employees of the enterprise pay enough attention to the informationization of financial management, and thus fully mobilize their enthusiasm for learning financial information processing ability.
2. The choice of enterprise financial information management system? Tailored? , in line with the actual needs of enterprises themselves.
Before designing the enterprise financial information management system, we should fully investigate the scale, management structure, production and business activities and business processes of the enterprise, understand its own characteristics, and fully consider the specific needs of the enterprise such as capital, cost, budget and current accounts. In order to scientifically carry out the financial informatization construction of enterprises, it is necessary to have a clear understanding of the management structure of enterprises themselves, and then list the main business processes and the practical problems that need to be solved in each specific process according to the business characteristics of enterprises, so as to make the design of financial management information system more targeted. Of course, after the system design is completed, it is necessary to test the data of the system to ensure the accuracy and rigor of the financial data, and then the system can be officially put into use, and the problems found during the period should be solved in time.
3. Realize the integration of technology and ideas.
Face up to the importance of financial management information construction ideologically, personally participate in information construction, and put forward problems and suggestions from the perspective of system users. In the design of information system, we should cater to the special needs of enterprise financial management. In the implementation process, strictly ensure that the information system application covers the whole process of enterprise operation.
4. Try to embody humanization in the construction of financial management information system, so that the design of information system can help employees finish their work better, rather than constitute constraints and obstacles to their work. At the same time, pay attention to strengthen cooperation among employees, respect their creativity and initiative, and stimulate employees to actively participate in enterprise information construction.
5. Put the informatization construction of enterprise financial management system in an important position of enterprise development strategy.
Combined with the long-term purpose of enterprise development, make plans and implement them step by step, and increase support for the informatization construction of financial management system. Conclusion In a word, in the information age, the application of information technology plays a vital role in the production and operation of enterprises.
Grasping the characteristics of the information age and applying information technology to enterprise financial management is of positive significance for enterprises to improve management, reduce production costs, improve management level and enhance market competitiveness. In view of the problems existing in the informatization construction of enterprise financial management, find them in time and improve them in a targeted manner.
