The research is based on a wide literature review, focused on the identification of organizational factors influencing on CAS adoption. The deriving research model was incorporated in a questionnaire that was preliminarily tested and finally provided to a sample of 100 accounting officers randomly selected from different government departments in Ampara District. Reponses were collected from only 78 officers from the departments and used multiple regressions to test hypotheses and analyze the relationship between variables.

The study found the following results: there is a positive impact with statistical significance of infrastructure, human resource, cost, management support, user perception and internal control system on the dependent variable (the application of the computerized accounting system by the government department in Ampara District.)
