Information management is of great importance to an organization. The quality and quantity of information influence the decision-making conditions, and with the increase in their value, the risk of failure and the uncertainty of undesirable effects are reduced. To a large extent, the accuracy of the decisions made depends on the quality of information held by the recipient. For the proper functioning of the organization, it is essential that the information acquired, processed, developed and circulated is of appropriate quality, i.e. it has a set of characteristics that determine the usefulness of information defined by the users. The article emphasizes that it is the effectiveness of the organization’s information system on which it depends to whom, in what form and on what level the information of the desired quality will be provided. Moreover, it was pointed out that it is necessary to systematically examine the information needs of the organization in order to meet the users’ expectations and the need for the organization to have the capacity to systematically reject useless information, information overload, and information selection.
The lawmakers have imposed a number of obligations on public entities within the national cybersecurity system to ensure that information systems are resilient against actions which compromise the confidentiality, integrity, accessibility, and authenticity of the data being processed in these systems, or the related services provided by such systems. These obligations include incident reporting and handling by the appropriate public entities, and designating contact persons to communicate with national cybersecurity system entities. However, they do not apply to all public bodies – only those specifically named by the lawmakers. An important spectrum of measures in this regard involves public-entity incidents, i.e. occurrences which impair, or might impair, the quality of, or disrupt the performance of, a public function by a public entity. When fulfilling their obligations, it is particularly important for public entities to handle incidents, understood as taking measures to identify, register, analyse, classify, prioritise, contain, and remedy the incidents.

When running a business, entrepreneurs need different information. Information is indispensable for making economic decisions and is crucial to the success of an enterprise. It is generated by the accounting system and sourced from business environment. Enterprises designing their information systems currently pay attention to the fact that these are integrated systems, which are created by the financial and management accounting subsystems, often additionally supported by the controlling subsystem. The aim of this paper is to define the type of information needs of enterprises and to indicate the possibility of applying solutions in the field of management accounting as a source of management information in an organization. For the purposes of the study, the following thesis was adopted: „Financial accounting mainly generates ex post financial information for reporting and control purposes, therefore it should not be the only element of an integrated information system of an organization. The modern enterprise also needs ex ante information for management purposes and non-financial information that can be provided by management accountingˮ. The research methods used were: critical analysis of literature, observation, primary quantitative research – a questionnaire survey, analysis of phenomena and synthesis of results. The results of empirical research enabled the identification of accounting tools that may contribute to the generation of information in these areas. Key instruments of management accounting, according to the answers provided by the respondents, are: budgets (sales, revenues, costs), variable costing, break-even analysis, safety margin, activity based costing.
