Introduction
In the modern business environment, the informatization construction of enterprise financial management has become an indispensable part of improving management efficiency, making precise decisions, and ensuring the security of financial data.With the quick advancement of technology, information technology has fundamentally altered how businesses run and are managed [1]   .Enterprise financial and accounting management information technology (EFAM) is not just a straightforward application of software and hardware, but also a strategic measure that can aid businesses in improving internal coordination, enhancing core competitiveness, and achieving sustainable development.
facing problems such as cumbersome data entry, high time consumption, and error prone.This model is no longer able to meet the increasingly complex operational needs and management challenges of modern enterprises.Therefore, introducing information technology construction is an indispensable strategic measure for enterprises.The informatization construction of financial and accounting management has achieved automated processing and real-time monitoring of financial data, greatly reducing the operational burden on financial personnel.Financial software and enterprise resource planning systems (ERP) and other tools can automatically collect, input, and classify financial data, avoiding tedious manual operations and improving the accuracy and timeliness of data.This enables the finance department of the enterprise to focus more on high value-added work such as financial analysis and strategic planning, improving management efficiency.Secondly, enterprises often have multiple departments and branches, and traditional manual management models often lead to information silos, making it difficult to achieve information sharing and collaborative work.Information systems can integrate financial data from various departments onto a single platform, achieving data sharing and collaboration, and improving internal process coordination and efficiency [2] .

Based on the overall development, enhance the internal coordination of enterprise development
The internal coordination of enterprises is one of the key factors for achieving overall development and sustainable success.In this highly competitive business environment, enterprises must continuously optimize internal operations, ensure collaborative cooperation between various departments and business units, and respond to market challenges and changes.Information systems can integrate data and processes from multiple departments such as finance, accounting, procurement, and sales, achieving real-time data sharing and collaborative work.This not only improves information transparency among departments, but also accelerates decision-making processes, reduces time delays in information transmission, and thus enhances internal coordination within the enterprise.Secondly, information systems can support performance management and KPI monitoring, aligning the goals and performance indicators of each department with the overall strategy of the enterprise.Management can more easily track the performance of business units, identify problems in a timely manner, and take measures to ensure that all departments of the enterprise work together in the same direction [3] .

Accurately and efficiently obtain financial and accounting data information to avoid operational risks
Information systems can achieve automated collection and processing of financial data, avoiding errors and delays that may arise from manual entry.This improves the accuracy and real-time nature of data, enabling managers to have a more timely understanding of the financial situation of the enterprise, thereby better preventing and avoiding potential risks.Secondly, the information system also supports multi-dimensional analysis and report generation of financial data.Managers can easily access various financial indicators and key business data, which helps to gain a deeper understanding of business operations, timely detect anomalies and problems, and take corresponding risk management measures.In addition, information technology construction has also strengthened internal control and audit functions.Through permission management and audit log recording, the source and processing process of each financial operation can be traced, ensuring data traceability and security.This helps to reduce internal risks and prevent data abuse and tampering [4] .

Backward development concept of financial and accounting management informatization
One of the prominent problems faced by some enterprises in the construction of financial and accounting management informatization is the relatively lagging development concept.Although information technology has made significant progress, some enterprises' financial and accounting management concepts and practices have not kept up with this development trend.The traditional financial and accounting management model still dominates, relying on manual operations and paper documents, making financial processes cumbersome and data processing inefficient.This lagging development concept hinders enterprises from fully realizing the potential of information construction, and limits the modernization and efficiency of financial and accounting management.Effectively addressing this issue requires enterprise managers to recognize that informatization has become a key element in improving management efficiency, reducing risks, and enhancing competitiveness, and actively adopt modern accounting management concepts to guide organizations towards a digital, automated, and intelligent accounting management model.

There are security risks in financial and accounting informatization
With the digitization and networked processing of enterprise financial data, financial and accounting information systems have become potential targets for attack, posing various security risks.The risk of data leakage and information theft is increasing, and unprotected financial data is prone to hacker attacks or illegal access by internal employees, leading to sensitive information leakage.Secondly, data integrity issues are prominent, as malicious software or viruses may damage or tamper with financial data, leading to inaccurate financial reports.System vulnerabilities and weak passwords may be exploited, further increasing the risk.At the same time, with the continuous upgrading of regulations and compliance requirements, enterprises need to ensure that their financial and accounting information systems comply with relevant regulations, otherwise they may face legal risks and fines [5] .Therefore, the construction of financial and accounting informatization needs to attach great importance to security to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of financial data.

Lack of professional talents
The complexity and high professionalism of financial and accounting management informatization require the implementation of solutions, but in many enterprises, the lack of talents with relevant professional knowledge and skills has become a serious problem.Financial and accounting informatization requires comprehensive knowledge and experience in multiple fields such as finance, accounting, taxation, and information technology, and professional talents in these fields are scarce in the market.Therefore, enterprises often face difficulties in the process of financial and accounting informatization construction, including difficulties in finding suitable talents and high personnel mobility.In addition, the technology and tools of financial and accounting informatization are constantly updated and evolving, requiring financial personnel to continuously learn and update their knowledge.However, some enterprises lack training and development opportunities, leading to a lag in employees' professional knowledge.

Improve accounting data storage techniques
Traditional accounting data storage methods can no longer match the needs of modern enterprise financial management due to the expansion of enterprise scale and the rapid development of information technology.Enterprises must embrace more effective, safe, and dependable database storage technologies, such as relational databases and non-relational databases, in order to better handle and utilize accounting data.
To begin, optimizing the accounting data storage method necessitates the establishment of a comprehensive database system.Enterprises should select appropriate database types and versions depending on their particular business requirements, and then create the necessary database table structures.To enable later data processing and analysis, it is vital to consider criteria such as data type, format, and length while creating a database table structure [6] .
Secondly, data query and analysis are the main purpose of data storage.Businesses should also optimize their database query statements.As the fundamental building block of a database, query statements can be optimized to increase query effectiveness and decrease query time.In order to locate the needed data fast, it is important to take indexing, association, and sorting into account while optimizing query expressions.
Thirdly, encryption of accounting data can stop data disclosure and unlawful access during the financial accounting management information technology process.Data security can be preserved by using encryption technology to guarantee that only authorized users can access and read the encrypted data.
Finally, data backup is a crucial tool for ensuring data security, and data recovery is a crucial step in the solution to the problem of data loss.Finally, data storage must guarantee data security.Enterprises should have a robust backup strategy in place, frequently backup data, and set security passwords and permissions for backup files.Simultaneously, contingency measures must be devised in order to recover data in a timely manner in the event of data loss.Backing up accounting data on a regular basis and keeping it in a secure location enables for speedy data recovery in the case of a system crash or data loss.Regular backups, backup storage sites, and recovery tests should all be part of the backup and recovery strategy.Implementing these steps ensures the security and trustworthiness of accounting data while also improving system stability and availability.

Including internal control procedures in every step of the financial information construction process
Modern enterprise financial management will inevitably move toward an informatized structure, which can increase the effectiveness and quality of financial management, lower financial risks, and guarantee the security of company money.
In the process of financial informatization construction, it is very important to integrate the internal control process into the entire process of financial informatization construction.Establishing a comprehensive information system with process control and error alarm mechanisms can effectively prevent security issues such as human errors and telecommunications fraud.For example, when making payments to suppliers, enterprises can use information systems to achieve full process tracking and control, including procurement applications, purchase orders, A/P documents, procurement invoices, procurement payment application forms, payment forms, bank payment forms, and other links.Each document is generated through correlation within the information system, and each business document sets corresponding approval processes according to the internal control system of each link.Each node is approved after the process is approved; only then can we proceed to the next stage.At the same time, effective risk control is implemented in the management of internal control system.Enterprises cannot process payments through WeChat, QQ, telephone, SMS and other information systems outside the system of funds, to avoid the occurrence of fraud due to the weak sense of precaution of the personnel applying for funds, which in turn caused the loss of the company's funds.Financial data is the key information of the enterprise, and its security and integrity must be ensured.Enterprise financial managers can enhance the financial internal control through encrypted transmission, data backup, rights management and other means to strengthen the enterprise information construction.
Furthermore, it is necessary to strengthen the training and management of system operators, establish a reward and punishment system, and ensure the confidentiality and integrity of financial data.In addition, traditional financial accounting systems still have their limitations, so it is necessary to establish a seamless connection between information systems and traditional financial accounting systems to achieve data sharing and exchange.At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen the management and maintenance of traditional financial accounting systems to ensure their stability and reliability.

Improve institutional construction and consolidate the foundation of transformation and development
In the information age, institutional construction not only helps to standardize management processes, but also ensures the efficient operation of information systems and data security.Informationization encompasses multiple aspects such as financial management, data analysis, and information security, therefore clear systems are needed to standardize the operation of each link.Enterprises should establish a sound information management system, including regulations on information system operation and maintenance management, data management, information security management, user permission management, and other aspects.These systems can ensure the compliant operation of information systems, reduce management loopholes and risks.Institutional construction helps to improve the transparency and standardization of information technology construction.Enterprises can establish clear information technology project management systems, specifying key elements such as project planning, budgeting, progress monitoring, quality evaluation, etc. to ensure that information technology projects are carried out according to expected goals [7] .
In addition, information security systems can specify key measures such as data classification and labeling, access control, data backup and recovery to protect the security of sensitive data.Establish an operation and maintenance management system to standardize the maintenance, upgrade, and fault handling of information systems, in order to ensure the stability and efficiency of the system.In addition, the data management system can regulate the process of data collection, storage, analysis, and reporting to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the data.

Targeted selection of applicable financial and accounting management information software
In the information age, accounting software plays a crucial role in significantly enhance the efficiency and accuracy of financial management, thereby promoting the transformation, upgrading, and development of enterprises.Enterprises should accurately evaluate the functions, performance, compatibility, and user friendliness of different software products based on their own business needs and characteristics.Accounting management software needs to satisfy demand of enterprises in various aspects such as financial accounting, report generation, cost management, budget control, and tax declaration.The software should be compatible with the existing information systems and hardware devices of the enterprise to reduce integration difficulty and cost.After considering various factors comprehensively, enterprises can choose targeted financial and accounting management information software that is suitable for themselves.For small enterprises, due to their small business scale and limited number of employees, they can choose to use standalone accounting management software.This software can be used separately on a single computer, making it convenient for employees to query and input financial data anytime, anywhere.Meanwhile, due to the fact that small enterprises usually do not require large-scale data sharing and collaborative work, the standalone version of financial management software is sufficient to satisfied the requirements of enterprises.For large companies, due to their large business scale and large number of employees, they can choose to use the online version of financial management software.This software can be used on a local area network or the internet to achieve data sharing and collaborative work.Through the online version of financial management software, enterprises can better collaborate and improve work efficiency.At the same time, the online version of financial management software can also achieve remote backup and recovery of data, ensuring data security.

Conclusion
In conclusion, enterprise financial accounting management informatisation construction is a complex systematic project, which requires enterprises to invest and optimise in technology, management, talents and other aspects.In the future development, enterprises need to continue to pay attention to the development trend of financial accounting management informatisation, and continue to explore new technologies and methods in order to improve the financial management level of enterprises and promote the sustainable development of enterprises.At the same time, the enterprise management should strengthen the financial accounting management information technology construction of publicity and training, improve the staff's understanding of information technology construction as well as the level of skills, so as to provide a strong guarantee for the construction of enterprise financial information technology.
