Abstract

Accounting has been supporting every commercial activity ever since the beginning of trade, as simplified as it was at that time. Due to the need to efficiently and accurately translate the economic reality into figures, accounting has been continuously improving. Furthermore, the information technology expansion and the emergence of the internet have also shaped this art of recording. By using certain bibliometric databases and techniques, this study analyzes the academic literature on cloud accounting and gives a brief representation from business and accountant's viewpoint. The analysis of literature from EBSCO and Web of Science (WOS) from January 2000 to March 2019 provided interesting insights pertaining to various journal articles who have been catalysts in emergence of this field and highlights its importance. As a result, a total of eleven articles were retrieved. After applying various inclusion criterions on these we could finally identify most significant articles. The analysis allowed identified acceptance for these neophyte publications and provides clues about the opportunities for future research.
