Abstract

The objective of this work is to propose an accounting information system for small businesses in the drugstore and pharmacy sector located in Santiago de Cali. At the methodological level, a descriptive study was used. Bibliographic review and interviews were used as techniques. These were applied to a group of 15 drug store managers from community 7 in Cali. The interview included a questionnaire to identify compliance with requirements. As reported by the administrators consulted, the main processes common to this type of business were evident. The following were established as the most relevant: purchasing process, sales process, payment to suppliers, reimbursement of petty cash, payroll and fixed payments. Based on the processes and the situation found in the formulation of the policies and procedures required by the micro-businesses in the drugstore sector, these are stated in the nature of their processes and the guidelines of the demanding International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). In this way, for each one, there are guiding principles that guide decision-making while being a benchmark for control. It is considered to define aspects that facilitate its execution such as objectives, scope, policies, supporting documents and the activities that make up the operating procedure.
