This sample size of 80 employees was drawn using convenience sampling. The research design for this study is a survey design and stratified random sampling and simple random sampling (probability sampling technique) were the sampling techniques used in this research work.  The findings indicate that technological accounting enhances administrative effectiveness of manufacturing organizations, also technological accounting plays a significant role in helping firms enhance service delivery. This study recommends that businesses should feel secure enough to employ information technology effectively to boost and improve their competitive edge in this perplexing, globalized environment.
