Its dynamic changes are penetrating business world, government bodies, and agencies as well as other organisations. More and more of these organisations are using information technology to enhance activities, to provide efficient and better services, and for businesses especially, to have a competitive edge. Therefore, it is important for students to become computer literate, since, almost all workplace require the use of information technology. In view of this, the main objective of this study is to analyse the computer literacy among UiTM's Bachelor of Accountancy graduating students in Shah Alam. This study used the questionnaire survey method, for data collection. Descriptive statistics, One Sample t-Test, Two Independent Sample t-Test and Pearson Correlation Test were used to analyse the data. The study found that graduating accountancy students in UiTM Shah Alam are computer literate and that there are significant differences between male and female students, and between the graduating students who own computers and those who do not own computers in terms of computer literacy level. There are some correlations between computer literacy and owning a computer, and between computer literacy and the students' perception on Accounting Information System (AIS) subjects. This study makes several recommendations based on the findings. The recommendations include assessing whether the present computer literacy level of accountancy students is acceptable or should it be strengthened further, whether there is a need to disseminate information about the computer facilities and services available to students and to review AIS subjects, and whether more weight should be given to the practical rather than theoretical aspects in enhancing computer literacy. 2001 Thesis https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/102363/ https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/102363/1/102363.pdf text en public masters Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Faculty of Accountancy
