One of the important prerequisites for a rational accounting organization is the application of the most effective, progressive accounting form in the implementation of computer and communication technology.

Methods of analysis and synthesis used to structure the substantive research-based identification and formalization of professional definitions of «accounting register» and «accounting form». Distinguished computer based accounting form proposed by scientists in Ukraine, conducted comparative analysis are highlighted strengths and weaknesses. It is concluded that there is no such thing as «automated form of accounting» because any system automating accounting processes ensure the availability of registers that are unique journal-order, memorial warrant and other forms of accounting. The appearance of the computer-communication based accounting form is grounded by the objective factors of the information society; key features of this form are determined.
