1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF STUDY
In this present world, individual, business men, firms and government have
seen the effects of computer in the area of recording and safe keeping of
information,.
However, this computer cannot function unless the day-to-day business
activities are well documented and fed into it properly.
Every business set up has different levels of management and each of these
levels of management needs information to enable them make decision on
how the objective of the organization can be achieved likewise, the
government.
In Nigeria before the advent of computer, nearly all clerical works are, done
by paper and pen. This gives rise to
 Mismanagement of stationeries.
 Errors and omissions in accounting enterprises
12
 Monotonous work and tiredness and other, associated clerical
problems. But since the introduction of computer, problems are
minimized. Therefore, the use of computer in recording accounting
information in this modern world cannot be over sighted. In the past,
recording, filing and safekeeping of information was known as
“routine clerical work” but with the advent of sophisticated,
electronic business machines it is now known as “data processing”.
Today, no business can survive without the use of computer especially, in
recording accounting information.
