Accounting Information System (AIS) is generally a computer system of compiling, storing and processing of accounting and financial data used by accountants, business analysts, consultants, chief financial officers, managers, auditors and decision makers. The development of this system becomes a necessity in business and organizations globally. In this study, the factors that contribute to a successful adoption of AIS in Philippine SMEs are addressed through a descriptive method. The population is composed of organizations located in Metro Manila with total assets of 3-100 million pesos or total employees ranging from 10-199, which utilize AIS in their operations, and their responses came from a survey as an instrument as part of the analysis. The results focus on user satisfaction, perceived monitoring effectiveness, AIS integration, information interdependence, organizational formalization, and interorganizational dependence. In addition, this research highlights four things that contribute the most to the effectiveness and apparent success of AIS adoption in Philippine SMEs.
