The Influence of Expert Systems on the Efficiency of Accounting Information Systems and the Sustainability of Energy

This research aims to identify the influence of expert systems (ES) on the efficiency of accounting information systems (AIS), which ultimately contributes to decision making sustainability (DMS) in the energy sector, such as saving energy and reducing carbon emissions. Using a quantitative approach, this research involved 127 decision-makers familiar with the efficient use of AIS. Data was collected through a self-completed questionnaire and validated using structural equation modelling (SEM) - PLS. The research results show that expert systems positively and significantly influence AIS efficiency in industrial companies in Indonesia, which in turn can impact DMS in the energy sector. However, technological vigilance did not moderate the relationship between expert systems and AIS efficiency. This study contributes to the AIS efficiency literature by identifying factors influencing AIS network efficiency and its benefits and validating the proposed model in the context of industrial companies. The results of this research serve as a guide to explain the importance of AIS efficiency, provide practical implications, and identify opportunities for future research in energy and sustainability.
