The moderating impact of cloud computing on the relationship between the reliability of accounting information systems and credit granting decisions in Jordanian banks

Abstract

The study explored trust in the accounting information system and tested its compatibility with the credit granting decision level. The study also hypothesized that whenever the confidence in the current accounting information system is high, the level of the decision to grant credit is high, and vice versa. To test this assumption, the study used partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). This method is usually preferred when the goal of the research is to develop theory and explain variance or predict structures. The survey design approach was adopted in the commercial banks in Jordan, where 225 valid questionnaires were retrieved for statistical analysis. The results demonstrate a direct and significant effect on GCD in commercial banks. Moreover, the results of this paper show that cloud computing (CC) mediates the relationship between the independent variable (Accounting Information System Trust (AIS-Trust) with the dependent variable (Grant Credit Decision (GCD)).
