چکیده

مقدمه: بخش­های مختلف هر سازمان، به منظور اثربخشی و کارآیی، نیازمند کنترل­های اقتضایی مرتبط به خود است. از جمله این کنترل‌ها استفاده از نظام اطلاعاتی حسابداری است که می‌تواند در تعامل حرفه‌­ای حسابداران با مدیران در فرایند تصمیم‌گیری مدیران مؤثر واقع شود. بنابراین، شناخت متقابل کارکردها و انتظارهای کارکنان حسابداری و مدیران سطوح مختلف از یکدیگر در راستای تحقق هدف‌های سازمان مفید بوده و ارزش افزوده ایجاد می‌کند.
روش پژوهش: پژوهش حاضر از نظر هدف، کاربردی و از نظر نوع، توصیفی-پیمایشی است. جامعه­آماری پژوهش شامل رئیس دانشگاه، معاونان دانشگاه، مدیر مالی، معاونان مدیر مالی، رؤسای واحدهای تابعه و کارشناسان مسئول مالی در ادارات و واحدهای دانشگاه علوم پزشکی مشهد به تعداد 133 نفر ­است. در این پژوهش عوامل پیش­زمینه­ای مؤثر بر اساس پژوهش‌های پیشین، شناسایی و با استفاده از نظر گروه خبرگان به تعداد 62 عامل در قالب 8 شاخص انتخاب شد. سپس، ابزار پرسش‌نامه برای مقایسه­­ زوجی شاخص­ها به روش تحلیل سسله‌مراتبی طراحی و اجرا شد.
یافته‌ها: از نظر آزمودنی‌ها شاخص­های «کیفیت اطلاعات و گزارش­ها» و «بهبود مستمر اطلاعات و گزارش­ها» نسبت به سایر شاخص‌ها اهمیت بیشتری دارد و شاخص­های «کفایت نظام اطلاعاتی حسابداری در برآورده‌­کردن نیازهای اطلاعاتی مدیران» و «آگاهی مدیران از نقش و قابلیت­های نظام اطلاعاتی حسابداری» نسبت به سایر شاخص‌ها اهمیت کم‌تری دارد.
نتیجه‌گیری:  شاخص‌های «کیفیت اطلاعات و گزارش‌ها» و «بهبود مستمر اطلاعات و گزارش‌ها» نقاط قوت نظام اطلاعاتی حسابداری دانشگاه است که نیازمند نظارت مستمر بر تهیه اطلاعات و گزارش‌ها بوده و به دلیل ماهیت فعالیت‌های پزشکی با پیچیدگی قابل‌توجه همراه است. هم‌چنین، شاخص‌های «کفایت نظام اطلاعاتی حسابداری در برآورده‌کردن نیازهای اطلاعاتی مدیران» و «آگاهی مدیران از نقش و قابلیت‌های نظام اطلاعاتی حسابداری» از جمله نقاط ضعف آن است. بنابراین، ارزیابی و تقویت نظام اطلاعاتی حسابداری از طریق ایجاد کنترل‌های داخلی مربوط به منظور تأمین نیازهای اطلاعاتی مدیران و به‌روزرسانی اطلاعات مدیران برای آگاهی بیشتر آنان در زمینه نظام اطلاعاتی حسابداری ضرورت دارد.
