Identify the Factors Influencing the Decision of Outsourcing Cloud Accounting Using Structural Equations

The aim of this study was to investigate the characteristics of the accounting process for outsourcing decisions in cloud accounting. Cloud accounting information systems provide extensive and comprehensive network access per use; Compared to traditional accounting systems, they provide better opportunities for scale, better access to the software and hardware in question, greater control, and the potential for better collaboration with supply chain partners. The main outsourcing mechanism allows business groups to split into smaller processes and cross organizational or geographical boundaries, making processes more outsourced and improving flexibility in organizing process delivery, reducing Costs and focus on the core processes of the company. The statistical population of the study includes 384 members of the Accounting and Auditing Association in 2021. The content method, convergent and divergent, was used to assess the validity of the questionnaire, and the structural equation method by LISREL software was used to test the accuracy of the theoretical model of the research and to calculate the impact coefficients. The results showed that process repetition, expert workforce, information intensity and customer contact need have a positive and significant effect on cloud accounting users, and uncertainty has a negative and significant effect on cloud accounting users
