Sažetak
The aim of this paper was to investigate accounting information systems in
small enterprises and to examine the use of comprehensive solutions such as
Enterprise resource planning (hereinafter: ERP) systems. The use of ERPs in the
Republic of Croatia is significantly below the EU-27 average and far from the percentage
in which ERPs are used in more developed EU countries, and the benefits
of a well-implemented ERP system can be significant for the company. These
facts motivated us to conduct research on the use of ERPs in small businesses
from Varaždin County. The research showed that small companies from Varaždin
County, which is in the high 4th place according to the criteria of county development
in the Republic of Croatia, use ERP systems to a much greater extent
than the average for all companies with more than 10 employees in the Republic
of Croatia. In line with our expectations, these are mostly ready-made ERP solutions.
Most respondents invest in this segment satisfactorily, but do not plan
significant future investments. Since, according to Eurostat data, the use of ERP
systems at the national level is much worse than in Varaždin County, government
could play a significant role through institutional assistance to small businesses
in the Republic of Croatia in introducing ERP systems, as in some more technologically
advanced countries.
