INTRODUCTION
Record Keeping is the process of collecting,
inputting, storing, classifying, summarizing and interpreting data.
Record
keeping has two facets – financial record keeping and managerial record
keeping. The basic purpose of financial record is to assist decision makers in
evaluating the financial strength, profitability and future prospects of a
business. Managerial record keeping in contrast is tailored to the needs of a
particular company. It helps the executives to measure success in carrying out
their plans, to identify problems requiring executive attention and to attain
company objectives. The purpose of record keeping is to produce financial
statement about a business entity. Therefore in this study, we narrowed down to
the record keeping system as been practiced by the business centre of Caritas
University Enugu. Nearly all the tasks manually performed by man some years
back can now be done in matter of seconds with computer technology. Since the
invention of the “wonder machine”, there has been a change from the manual way
of carrying out certain tasks to a faster and more reliable computerized
method.
1.1 BACKGROUND
OF THE STUDY
The
business centre of Caritas University Amorji Nike Enugu was established with
the institution in January 21, 2005. Justifiably, the business centre of
Caritas University have the problem of keeping adequate record of financial transactions,
workers file and managerial documents accrued by the purpose of planning,
accuracy, timely data processing and security. They do this in manual means
with its associated problems of insecurity, high cost of operation and long
period of time used for processing data. The design and development of
computerized record keeping system in the business centre will no doubt bring
about immeasurable relief from the problems associated with manual system of
record keeping. Therefore, the study is aimed at producing an efficient
computer software package that can handle the record keeping system of the
business centre.
1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Business centre of Caritas
University is to an extent manually operated. The recording of sales of tickets
and cash received are done manually in a book, which looks/appears rough. Thus,
the books or files are exposed to physical damage by ants and pests, accumulation
of dust particles; this makes the contents to be lost, misplaced or even altered.
The long queue of students waiting to be attended to, on daily basis, the
fatigue, time wasting in daily reports of accounts to the management can be
reduced or even eliminated with the introduction of the proposed system.
1.3 PURPOSE OF THE STUDY
The purpose of this study is to
develop software that can be used in keeping records of sales and cash received
or spent. Also to promote efficient and quality services to customers.
1.4 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
This study is primarily aimed at
computerizing the manual system of accounting and record keeping as used in the
business division of Caritas University Enugu. It will help in a good number of
ways to ease the queuing method in the business centre.
1.5 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
The major objectives of this study
is aimed at developing an automated record keeping system others include
i.
To save time (fast inputting and accessing
of records)
ii.
To enable the management to plan ahead
iii.
To reduce fatigue of the staff
iv.
To ensure accuracy in the records
v.
To ensure safety of the documents/records,
because the system will be passworded to reduce access.
vi.
To ensure integrity of the records
vii.
To ensure consistency of accounts and
reduction of error due to damage
viii.
To reduce forgery and loss of records by
theft
ix.
To promote efficient and quality delivery
of services to customers

SCOPE OF THE STUDY
The scope of the study covers the
university as a whole and users/customers from outside the university community
1.7 LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
This work is limited to business
Centre University Enugu due to time and resource constraint.
