Maintaining financial records only in the software that employees are using and not having it backed up in their own personal desktop or devices. It is certainly convenient to have software that can make the tasks easier but technology is not that secure, they should not be confident that necessary files are in the software and they do not have a copy of those files. They should keep the information in the software and in their personal devices, otherwise, it would decrease their productivity when they lose the files since they would allot a lot of time retrieving the lost information or start making financial records again when they can use that time to do other works if those data had not been lost.
Not updating the software that they are using in preparing financial reports. Software that has updates means that it offers enhancements of its performance. It will have better features and capacity compared to the older version. They need to regularly update their devices' software so that they would not experience having malware and other viruses that can affect their productivity and their work negatively.
