Accountancy software basics

Article Abstract:

The UK's accountancy software market is very fragmented with no dominant players, although Sage has the largest market share. The market for larger companies is not as mature as that for smaller organisations and the ten leading vendors account for less than a half of sales. Important developments in computer technology have had an impact on the accountancy software market and most packages have a graphical user interface, such as Windows.
