The aim of this article is to present the opinion of accountants and bookkeepers on the advantages and disadvantages of electronic commerce in Slovenian primary schools. Through a survey of 115 respondents, we found that the advantages of electronic commerce include "transparency and ease of payment" (x̅ = 4.40; σ = 0.69), "accessibility and availability" (x̅ = 4.37; σ = 0.60), 'faster delivery and processing of invoices' (x̅ = 4.36; σ = 0.65), 'traceability of processes' (x̅ = 4.20; σ = 0.55), 'faster and secure storage of e-invoices' (x̅ = 4.27; σ = 0.70) and 'centralisation of e-invoice information' (x̅ = 4.23; σ = 0.73). Among the shortcomings of e-commerce, they cite 'hardware and software cost' (x̅ = 3.08; σ = 1.21), 'inadequate e-Log scheme' (x̅ = 3.03; σ = 1.06) and 'missing or incomplete e-invoice data' (x̅ = 2.97; σ = 1.12). There are also no statistically significant differences in the assessment of the advantages and disadvantages of e-commerce between respondents with different ages and levels of education.
