Sažetak
The business transformation project (BTP) of an e-business environmentneeds the optimal accounting automation strategy that depends on measurablefactors characterizing the progress of organizational transformation process.Since a few years, due to the everlasting financial crisis, the applied financial and accounting strategiesare reduced to basic rigid austerity. The result is thatane-business integration strategy that normally should be based on known standards, enterprise architecture, business engineering and multilevel interoperability, is restricted to blindfolded accounting operations. Major e-business transformation projects are brutally stopped by accountants that sometimes justify no-go decisions by a minor violation of fictive financial amounts. Most of such judgements are politically motivated, while highly regarded individuals’ and teams’opinions are simply ignored. The most damaging fact is that the business environment loses its transformational momentum, what can negatively affect its business sustainability and leave it prone to the rigorous accounting austerity procedures. In this article the authors propose a set of managerial recommendations on how to avoid such blocking situations. Today many finance and accounting automation concepts exist and theyare very advanced.Such a concept can support the e-business transformation process of the traditional business environment through the automation of all financial operations and the related accounting processes. That also enables the underlying accounting subsystem to interact withthe local and global ecosystems. Transforming atraditional accounting subsystemand the related accountants’ behavioursis animportant challenge, because very probably the accountant team(s)would generate a locked-in situation and resist the applied initiatives for major changes. An automated accountingsubsystem may provide the base for flexible financial services and functionsfor the future business environment, in order toignore the accounting human dependency.That makes these services robust and precise. This article’s main aim is tosupport thee-business transformation managers or enterprise architects in managing frequent changes of e-business environments and the integration of automated accounting procedures. To achieve this goal, the authors offer e-business transformation managersor enterprise architectsa set ofmanagerial recommendations and an e-accounting automation pattern that could supporta high volume of accounting requests and support their respective maintenance and implementation costs. The proposed set ofe-business managerial recommendations that can be used by e-business and enterprise architects, supports a holistic view on delivering a global audit that links finance, accountancy, business engineering and the management of needed technology mechanisms, by proposing a generic accounting microartefact. Managing of complex projects, like business transformations, demands that business transformation managersand their teams possess financial, technical and organizational skills to design a robust block-chain solutionsthat automate all the enterprises’ financial and accounting activities. This approach must be defined in the initial project’s phases and should be exposed to all the affected stakeholders, who are traditionally accustomed to be fed with summarized accounting reports.
