Abstract
The accounting information system is designed to provide information for the purposes of making decisions, and in accordance with the principle of rational management, this information should be prepared at the lowest possible cost. The accounting records, based on the applicable regulations, however, do not provide precise data on the costs related to accounting. Therefore, for this purpose, the methodology of activity-based costing can be used. The article characterizes strengths and weaknesses of applying the discussed approach to determining the costs of the operation of the accounting information system, and it also identified and described the processes and activities that are carried out in the examined system.
