This bachelor thesis is devoted to the comparison of Russian and Czech accounting software. The main objective of this paper was to carry out a comparative analysis of two selected accounting programmes in Czech Republic and Russia. For the analysis, the POHODA and the 1C: Accounting programs were chosen. To fulfill determined goal, the work was divided into a theoretical and practical part. The first part focused on a summary of key findings from the development of financial reporting and accounting software. In each subchapter, the stages of accounting development were discussed, from manual reporting through mechanization of accounting reporting to automation in accounting. After that, the stages of accounting software development were discussed, where system and business criteria were taken into account. The practical part began with the selection of indicators for comparing the selected programs. Parameters such as user interface, price and functionality were chosen. As first there was an introduction of selected software and a description of its basic characteristics. Subsequently, both programs were compared in terms of the specified criteria. In order to make the most objective comparison, a questionnaire survey was also conducted in the work with the participation of Czech and Russian accountants, who also evaluated the programs. On the basis of their responses and the results of the comparative analysis, the main strengths and weaknesses of both programmes were identified.
