A Design Of Bank Accounting Information System Based On BPM

China’s banking industry informatization level has been increasing since the late of 1970s, and promoting the reform and innovation of banking industry by providing appropriate services to external and internal users. Up to now, the construction of information system in China’s bank industry has experienced three phases:the electronization phase which began form the middle of 1970s to the late 1980s to apply electronic banking and automate counter service; the data centralization phase in 1990s to enforce provincial data centralization and improve the efficiency and quality of business and accounting; the integrated business systems construction phase which began from the early 2000s to carry out data concentration nationwide and make the cross functional and real-time information access available.There are serveral significant differences in the construction of bank accounting information system during the three phases. In the electronization phase, accounting processing was simulated by isolated software, resulting in many different versions of accounting softwares and dispersible investments. In the data centralization stage, accounting processing was embedded in different business systems by different branches of major banks, which made business drive accounting automatically. In the integrated business systems construction phase, national data centralization made different business systems unified, and the general ledger system was aparted form the business system relatively. But business and accounting were still blinded in this mode, which was not conducive to the realization of Customer-Centric and could not quickly respond to business innovations as well as meeting regulatory requirements. So bank accounting information systems need to separate accounting from business.Therefore, this paper explores the trend of China’s bank accounting information system construction based on the Business Process Management:separating accounting form business. The primary task of BPM is to ensure that business processing should be customer-oriented and meet market demand. Specifically, the construction of bank accounting information system should implement the separation of accounting form business, in order to improve the speed of market responsiveness, the satisfaction of customers and the quality of accounting information effectively.The paper is structured as follows.The first part mainly introduces the background and significance of research, literature review and so on. The second part presents the theoretical foundation, introducing the connotation of BPM and bank accounting information system, as well as the relationship between BPM and bank accounting information system. The third part analyzes the history of the construction and the problems of bank accounting information system end up with summing up the construction trend. The fourth part describes the bank accounting information system that separate accounting from business. The fifth part summarizes the conclusion of the paper and points out the limitations and further directions of research.
