    Abstract:

    Accounting information system [1] is of particular importance as one of the sources of providing information for managers to make decisions. In this research, the impact of the comprehensive and uniform financial system of the oil industry on the qualitative characteristics of accounting information [2] has been investigated. The main goal of this research is to investigate the impact of the comprehensive and uniform financial system of the oil industry on the qualitative characteristics of accounting information in the country's oil refining companies. In the following, the current state of the comprehensive and uniform financial system of the oil industry is evaluated in order to determine the extent of its impact on the qualitative characteristics of accounting information. In this research, the comprehensive and uniform financial system of the industry has been considered as an independent variable and the qualitative characteristics of accounting information (relevance, reliability, comprehensibility and comparability) as dependent variables of this research. The current research is an applied research. Based on the method and nature, it is classified as descriptive research. To collect the required information, library sources, internet sites and questionnaires were used. In this research, sampling method was used and 80 questionnaires were distributed and 64 questionnaires were received. spss software and t-test have been used to analyze its information.

    The results of this research show that the comprehensive and uniform financial system of the oil industry affects the qualitative characteristics of accounting information. The results of the examination of the current state of the system have shown that this system has the necessary ability to improve the quality characteristics of accounting information.

    Introduction:

    Accounting information system consists of all related components that collect information for the purpose of planning, control and analysis. Analysis plays a role in decision making. Today, relevant and reliable information is a valuable source for making short-term and tactical decisions in the day-to-day operations of the organization. Accounting information systems play a very important role in providing information with high quality characteristics for decision making. These systems should be selected in a suitable and appropriate way for the organization or company so that it can meet the needs related to that organization or company in order to make appropriate decisions. In a large industry such as the oil industry in the country, accounting information systems and financial information systems play a vital role in helping to make decisions. It can provide the basis for creating information with quality features such as reliability, relevance, comparability and comprehensibility. In the second chapter, the research literature will be discussed in order to reveal the nature of accounting information systems in the oil industry in creating information with the qualitative features of accounting. Interaction of professional accountants with computer information systems. Accountants, like the main users of information systems, should participate in the design of the system and the understanding of the operations of economic enterprises. Accounting managers must measure and evaluate the performance of information systems. On the other hand, internal auditors and independent auditors must check the quality of information processing and test the correctness of input and output information from the system. (Sajadi, 1385, 6) 1.

    A system is a set of two or more related components that interact with each other to achieve a goal. Most of the time, systems are composed of smaller subsystems, each of which performs a special activity and ultimately supports a larger system. Accounting information system consists of all related components that together play a role in collecting, storing and disseminating information for the purpose of planning, controlling, analyzing and making decisions. The accounting information system that is designed and implemented in a business unit is directly related to the organizational culture, the level of strategic planning and the information technology that exists in that company.. The accounting information system that is designed and implemented in a business unit is directly related to the organizational culture, level of strategic planning and information technology in that company (Sarafizadeh, 2014, 2015)2.

    Some of the important activities that the accounting information system creates in a company are:

    Collecting and recording data related to the company's activities, programs Accounting, the process of converting data into information that is used in decision-making to plan and control activities and carry out necessary controls to protect the company's assets (same source, 30, 3).

    In the Statement of Basic Accounting Concepts No. 2 of the Financial Accounting Standards Development Committee [3], it was defined as an information system and it was also stated that the primary purpose of accounting is to provide useful information for decision-making. The duties of the accounting system include the methods of collecting data related to the organization's activities and events, the method of converting data into information that management can use in the organization, and the method of ensuring the accessibility, reliability, and accuracy of the information (Sajadi, 2015, 6) [4]. The comprehensive and uniform oil system is used in all the companies under the oil group. Due to the spatial extent, this research has been limited and only the oil refining companies of the country have been examined. This system is connected to the network [5] and is used in all these companies. The comprehensive and uniform financial system of the oil industry includes sub-systems that are used in different financial units. These sub-systems include the following. rtl;">Each of these accounting sub-systems is designed in a way that is suitable for that unit. In the second part of the second chapter of this research, full details of each of these sub-systems and how to work with them have been explained. In this research, the researcher first identified and how this system works and then examined the qualitative characteristics of accounting information. To measure the impact of the comprehensive and uniform financial system of the oil industry on the qualitative characteristics of accounting information. To check this effect, the necessary data were sent to financial units in oil refining companies through a questionnaire.

    In this research, the comprehensive and uniform financial system of oil is an employed variable and the dependent variables are the qualitative characteristics of accounting information.

    2-1 Study history

    According to the above explanations and the existence of new reporting and accounting systems in this research, we try to check To what extent the system used in Iranian oil refining companies can meet the information needs of information users. Therefore, with the idea that if we consider the comprehensive and uniform financial system of the oil industry as an independent variable, we want to measure the effect of the independent variable on the dependent variables. style="direction: rtl;">Abstract:

    The way to achieve the organization's goals in sophisticated and hard circumstances of the environment is to make correct and reasonable decisions. In doing so, the accounting information system (AIS) as one of the resources supplying information for managers so that they can make decisions is considered to be very significant.
