In the field of accounting and accounting information system there are many factors to be adapted to: in addition to increasing global competition and the ever more rapid evolution of technology, a relatively new factor is social and governmental demand for sustainability. How can accounting and accounting information system face these challenges and expectations?

It can be proved by a multitude of historical examples, that the social, economic, technical and IT changes incline, incite the accounting and also the accounting information system for continuous reformation.

Thanks to the advanced IT systems the decision makers and stakeholders encounter masses of information and data sets. Indicators are needed to compress information, and thus can support the work of the management and stakeholders. The aim of the author is to present the two segments of these changes. The development of indicators is introduced, from the classical financial indicators to the Balance Scorecard.
