The article is aimed at substantiating the influence of computerized information systems for accounting and taxation on the formation of high-quality information in the context of globalization and digitalization of economic relations. It is proved that the formation of the information society involves the subordination of economic growth to the qualitative parameters of social and economic development, since further progress will be determined not so much by the production of goods as by the expanded use of information. It is determined that information is a factor of globalization in the information society, so national strategies for economic development of countries of the world should be built on the specifics and main trends of globalization processes, on the grounds of the conception of sustainable development. It is substantiated that the digital economy consists of three main parts, namely: infrastructure development and support, e-business, and e-commerce. It is noted that for the effective functioning and development of each component of the digital economy, a precise accounting and taxation system is needed, which will provide high-quality, reliable and complete information for making managerial decisions. A list of the main directions of development of digital socioeconomic relations in the conditions of global cooperation is proposed. It is determined that the computerized information system of enterprise management is a set of economic-mathematical methods and models, technical, software, technological instruments and solutions, as well as the availability of specialists for information processing and managerial decision-making. The most popular in Ukraine are the integrated corporate information systems «Parus», «Galaxy», «BAS», SAP R/3 (SAP AG), etc., and the correct choice of the type of information system by an enterprise requires a classification of such systems according to the criterion of complexity of the functions and tasks performed at enterprise. It is proved that the use of computerized information systems in accounting and taxation leads to simplification of administration, ensures the preparation of reliable, understandable and comparable financial and management reporting, aligning internal relations between the departments of accounting, economic, control services and increasing the analytical value of information about the financial and economic activities of the enterprise as a whole and its individual important links in particular.
