management to make big decisions on investing their money to develop good
and integrated accounting information systems. The growing nature of human
resources and business volume in drinking water business will make it harder
for companies in this sector of business to control their performance and to
protect their assets from theft and fraud, unless they have adequate controls in
their information systems. Basically, human being is a self-interest individual.
They have the urge to strive and fulfill their self-interest, commonly called as
motivation. If these employees find that their company cannot meet their
demands, they tend to find other ways to satisfy their needs, which most of the
time, might harm the company?s objectives and become a problem that have to
be dealt by them. In other words, these particular problems are known as
motivational problems. Thus, how far a company?s accounting information
system can serve as a management control tool to cope with motivational
problems among employees in the revenue cycle is worth studying further.
This study was conducted as an explanatory research in which a qualitative
approach was used to give a thorough understanding about how far action
controls implementation embedded in a company?s accounting information
systems, especially in their revenue cycle, can help management to solve their
employees? motivational problems and to help prevent any potential problems
that might occur in the future.
