and foundation thus, understand of the computer technology
and applications
The significance of his study is to form
basic of a continuing study so that accountant and other readers will not be at
the mercy of the computer scientist but be able r to interact usefully with
them. Also, thus study intends to state
the advantage of the
computerized system over the
manual this study shall also include some
of the handicaps that have discouraged
the spear of computerized system.
1.4
SCOPE AND

commencement of operation.
This
study shall discuss how effective the use of computer has helped in achieving the
objectives of management and importance.
One
cannot escape certain circumstances that are beyond ones control. This is the
financial constraint, line within the project work is to be submitted and most
especially the time taken to facts from respondents and their attitude to the
question asked.
1.5 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
The method
of research used in this project comprises both primary and secondary data collection.
The primary data collection consists of data collected from individuals
within the organization of accounting department of PHCN Ilorin through personal interview and oral
interview is used among the member of

based on different sub- heading.
The first
chapter deals with general introduction of the study and importance, the area
to be covered by the study
constraints and methods of
obtaining the information, which would
help in bringing the study to completion stage .
The chapter four presents the date and
the analysis while chapter five, which is the last chapter, contains the
