ABSTRACT

This work entitled “THE IMPORTANCE OF COMPUTERISED

GENERAL INTRODUCTION

Computerised accounting is an accounting system that processes the financial


transactions and events as per Generally accepted to produce reports as per user
requirement. Computerised accounting system deals with the storage and processing
of data and consists hardware and software which is used to determine the operating
environment. That is in real time environment, accounts are accessed and updated
immediately to reflect activity and the need to test for equality of debits and credits
through trial balances is usually not required in a computerised accounting system
since the system test for equality of debit and credit amounts as they are entered. If
someone were to attempt to input data the system would not accept the input since the
computer is programmed to posts amounts to the various accounts and calculate the
new balances as new entries are made, the possibility of mathematical error is
reduced. In AZIRE for instance, While the information service department is filling
payment slip , withdrawal slip and attending to customers, the accounting departments
deals with entry of credits and debits amounts an also granting loans to customers. All
of these are to avoid delays while serving customers and to enjoy the advantages of
fast processing of financial statement, data processing analysis, saving valuable time
and making staff efficient for the smooth functioning of the business.

As far our work is concern, we are to show the importance of computerised


accounting in the effective management of the organisation. Also, our work has been
divided into chapters that is chapter one deals with general presentation of the
company and its activities, chapter two evolution of the internship activities, chapter
three we are showing the best management practices relating to computerised
accounting and lastly the problem faced and possible solutions to remedy the situation
in chapter four.

SCUTZE DELITZE and FREDERICK WILLIAM HENRY RAIFFEISSON. This idea
moved to Italy in nineteen century and in 1900, the Canadian and the Americans borrowed
the idea. In Africa the fourth African conference on the mobilization of local savings was
held in Nairobi Kenya in 1955. In Cameroon, the credit union came through the effort of
reverend Father JANSON who introduced It in NJINIKUM IN 1963 . This was followed by
the credit union in KIKAIKIAKI in Nso in 1965 by Reverend Father E.A BARMICLE.

Azire was registered with the CamCCUL in 1968 and re-registered in November 2001
under the Ministry of Economy and Finance and COBAC in accordance with the new micro
finance institution affiliated to CamCCUL with the OHADA provisions as a micro finance

SECTION TWO: MANAGEMENT SCIENCE


TOOLS CONCERNING THE ANALYSIS
RELATING TO COMPUTERISE ACCOUNTING
AND PRESENTATION OF RESULTS.

3.21 DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYTICAL TOOL


3.211 DATA COLLECTION
SOURCE OF DATA: PRIMARY DATA AND SECONDARY DATA.

PRIMARY DATA

Primary data was obtained through the use of self- administered questionnaires to
respondents.

Secondary data
IMPORTANCE OF COMPUTERISED ACCOUNTING IN THE EFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT OF THE
ORGANISATION: CASE STUDY AZICCUL CREDIT UNION.

Secondary data was used to supports the empirical findings of the study. These data
was obtained from texts books, library, brochures and internet information relating to
computerised accounting.

DATA COLLECTION METHOD

QUESTIONNAIRE: This was one of the major instruments that were used to
collect data. The researcher used both open and closed questions which was required
specific answers. Questions were printed in clear and simple language possible for the
respondents to understand. The respondents were selected the correct options by
ticking the correct answers.

INTERVIEW: Here questions were determined beforehand while others arise


during the course of the conversation. the interviews were done on individual oriented
basis to allow expression of personal view points. The researcher used face to face
interviews because of the following reasons; provision of first- hand information, rich
data collection, cost effective, speedy and ability to clarify the questions and clear
doubts.

KEY INFORMATION INTERVIEWS : Face to face interviews were carried out


with the top managements and clients to cross check the response from the
questionnaire. These were designed in a way that more specific and truthful answers
were got. These help to capture the respondents views this method was preferred
because of its flexibility and ability to provide new ideas on the subject.

DOCUMENTARY ANALYSIS : Secondarily data from materials such as


textbooks, newspapers, journals and internet were used to backup primary information
and relate the findings to other approaches already in existence the method used
document checklists and guides to get views from other writers which were
instrumental especially in comparison analysis and interviews review.

DATA COLLECTION METHOD

This study was based on data collected from two categories of sources: primary and
secondary. Whereas the primary source of data were used in the questionnaire; to
collect more information and clarify on some information, it majorly constituted
structured and open-ended questions and control question to check correctness and
consistency. The secondary data source involves were mainly the organisation
financial and managements reports. This record inspection was carried out in
relevance to the study objective.

ORGANISATION: CASE STUDY AZICCUL CREDIT UNION.

3.212ANALYTICAL TOOLS
There are two types of analytical tools for situation determination which are
financial and non-financial tools for the effective management and even growth of the
organisation.

 Non-Financial tools; Since AZICCUL is the to make profit and also make sure
the members are satisfy. Therefore the non-financial tools are Customer relationship
management and performance appraisal.
 Customer relationship management is an approach to manage a company’s
interaction with current and potential customers. It uses data analysis about customer’s
history with a company to improve business relationships with customers. It helps to
build a relationship with their customers that , in turn creates loyalty and customers
retention since customers loyalty are and revenue are both qualities that affect
company’s revenue.
 Performance appraisal is a regular review of an employee’s job performance
and overall contributions to a company. Also known as an annual review.
 Economy: It deals with keeping cost of inputs low eg employing low cost but
effective employees rather than high cost and non- efficient employee.
 Financial tools
These are tools that measure a company’s performance with the use profitability
ratios.
 PROFITABILITY RATIOS
Return on capital employed: It measures how efficiently capital has been employed
by management. It is the primary ratio that gives birth to secondary ratios and tertiary
ratios.
Asset turnover: It measures the performance of the company in generating sales
using the assets at their disposal. This ratio simply measures the efficiency and
effectiveness in the use of assets to generate revenue.

3.213 OTHER TOOLS


Some tools were used to evaluate the companies performance is to verify
overcapitalisation .
 Over capitalisation on its part is the situation where a company’s working
capital is excessive for its needs. Excessive stocks, debtors and cash and very few
creditors will lead to low return on investment, with long terms fund tied up in non-
earning short term assets. This situation is an inconvenience since there will be very
low return on long term finance.

information related to the company. This section also deals with the credit union
profitability and members relationship.

The previous section addressed the sample, sampling method and the ethical
considerations for this study. It also looked at the type and formation of the data
instrument. It also explained the statistical analysis which will be presented in this
section
In order to achieve these findings, it was necessary to test the corresponding
research hypothesis with the empirical data collected.
The results are first presented using summarised percentages for the variables that
constitute each section. Results are then further analysed according to the importance
of the statements.

3.121 STRENGTHS AND LIMITATIONS(SWOT ANALYSIS)


 Location: Since the credit union is located at the center it makes it easier for
customers to easily visit the credit union and due to the better quality they provide .

increase in rate of customers in the credit union and more loan granting rate.

3.123 Weaknesses
 Lack of recreational facilities: The lack of recreational facilities around the
area led to long hours of break.
 Resentment between workers: The presence that some workers felt that they
were not given respect made the organisation structure to be disorganise.

Threats
IMPORTANCE OF COMPUTERISED ACCOUNTING IN THE EFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT OF THE
ORGANISATION: CASE STUDY AZICCUL CREDIT UNION.

 The presence of competition: That is one competitor who have loyal


customers and does similar activities and similar business.
 The presence of loan delinquency
 The presence of high credit rate

CHAPTER FOUR: CRITICAL APPROACH


IMPORTANCE OF COMPUTERISED ACCOUNTING IN THE EFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT OF THE
ORGANISATION: CASE STUDY AZICCUL CREDIT UNION.

This chapter four is to clearly outline the weaknesses and difficulties of the
company and give some recommendations to the company .in section one we will see
the difficulties experienced by AZICCUL relating to computerised accounting. And
section two recommendations.

SECTION ONE : DIFFICULTIES AND


WEAKNESSES OF AZICCUL CREDIT UNION.

4.11 DIFFICULTIES OF AZICCUL CREDIT UNION


4.111 Indirect problem
These are problems that affect indirectly the management of computerised
accounting.
a-Tribalism
IMPORTANCE OF COMPUTERISED ACCOUNTING IN THE EFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT OF THE
ORGANISATION: CASE STUDY AZICCUL CREDIT UNION.

Preferential treatment are at times given to some customers over others which is
dangerous to the smooth functioning of the institution in case of loan failure which is
usually frequent among bankers who give out loans to their friends and family
members based on good faith and not according to the banking rule.

b-Inadequate Segregation Of Duties

This is a situation where most of the work in the institution is done and carried out
by one person. This usually happens when and other employees are on leave.

c-The Concentration Of Loans to a particular class of people


These create a situation of non -repayment of loans. When an institution
concentrates the granting of the loans to specific individuals and customers tend to
default payment, it will be difficult for the bank to recover the loan lending to shortage
of liquidity in the bank.
4.112 DIRECT PROBLEMS
These are problems that affect directly the management of computerised
accounting.
a-Anxiety to create more credit
Too much anxiety to create credit with the hind mind directed towards generating
profits for the credit union might lead to incomplete valuation of borrower’s
worthiness. This led institution to give out loans without considering the fact that the
loan interest might not be paid on a due date.
b- Poor assessment of customer
We noticed some weakness at the credit union as a result of poor assessment of
customer’s credit worthiness, poor valuation of securities.
c- Loan delinquency
The institution suffers the problem of loan delinquency, Delinquency is a situation
that arises when the date for repayments of the loan passes.
d- Not proper evaluation of assets for collateral
IMPORTANCE OF COMPUTERISED ACCOUNTING IN THE EFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT OF THE
ORGANISATION: CASE STUDY AZICCUL CREDIT UNION.

Before on loans, were granted, the collateral were not properly evaluated. For
example the collateral security to be worth the loan granted twice, it should be easily
marketable most of the time.

4.12 WEAKNESSES OF AZICCUL CREDIT UNION


Lack of recreational facilities: AZICCUL CREDIT UNION possesses no
canteen facilities. And the canteen available are few and costly and thus employees
have to go far and buy launch before coming back to work.

Poor in the organisational structure: AZICCUL BANK is a well-structured


organisation yet, the hierarchy is not always followed which a lot of problems such as;

 Resentment between workers because others feel that their authority is


neglected and not respected.

Inadequate of technical techniques: A lot of employees regularly ask for the


help from others when it comes to technical skill such as; using certain programs of
the enterprise.

SECTION TWO: RECOMMENDATIONS OF


AZICCUL CREDIT UNIONS
IMPORTANCE OF COMPUTERISED ACCOUNTING IN THE EFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT OF THE
ORGANISATION: CASE STUDY AZICCUL CREDIT UNION.

4.21 RECOMMENDATION
 In other to solve the problem of poor organisational structure, the manager
should make sure that their authority are been respected without any explanations.
 Also the problem of lack of technical skills the manager should make sure the
employee learns how to practice the program and becomes adapted and has
knowledge about the program.

To solve the problem of recreational facilities the managers should provide enough
time for the employees for break.

4.22 SUGGESTION
 The credit union should make sure loans are granted with equality and that they
provide collateral securities that can be compatible to the loan taken.
 The credit union should make sure to evaluate the collateral securities provided
to them to be sure if they own them and are worth it.
 The credit union should make sure that their aim is not to only provide credit
but to make sure all the credit provided should be able to generate enough provide.

The credit union should make sure to avoid providing load on only one person, the
manager should be able to have an assistant to help him reduce the work load
especially when he is on leave or has accident.

GENERAL CONCLUSION
IMPORTANCE OF COMPUTERISED ACCOUNTING IN THE EFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT OF THE
ORGANISATION: CASE STUDY AZICCUL CREDIT UNION.

Conclusively, as far as our work was concern, we were to talk about the importance
of computerised accounting in the effective management of the organisation. In
addition to other services, AZIRE is a credit union with the aim of mobilising saving
and granting loans. In the course of the internship, we can realize that to be successful
in this domain, There should be a good planning , implementation and control of
financial information inflows as well as automation of accounting task in order to
minimize cost and maximize profit. It is based on these principles that the importance
of computerised accounting is yielding results.

It should be equally noted that all credit unions need to managed their finances in
such a way during the operational cost, it would not develop a negative impact into the
company .As a result they have to avoid unnecessary charges in order to maximize
profit, Even though AZICCUL credit union is successful in the activities it should be
noted they face a lot of challenges in this process as seen above.
