DESIGN AND IMPLEMENT A COMPUTER BASED ACCOUNTING SYSTEM (A CASE STUDY OF STANDARD TRUST BANK)
ABSTRACT
The application of computer in various disciplines has removed a lot of the problems encountered in the use of manual system in the various fields. In recent years, Standard Trust Bank, Enugu, has been using the manual system recording customers credit account records which has brought about some set backs in achieving the goals of the new system. In this project, I have analyzed the manual system and have identified some of its problems and limitations. These problems seem to hinder the realization of the goals of the existing system. With respect to this, I have designed a Computerized Accounting System to help in minimizing some of the problems inherent in the manual system. The new system reduces errors, operational difficulties and so on, thereby increasing public services and competitive effectiveness and profitability.
ORGANIZATION OF WORK

CHAPTER TWO:Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â This deals with the available literature as it is related to the project in question.
CHAPTER THREE:Â Â Â Â Describes and analyses the existing system, state the mode of operation and identifies the problems facing it and a solution to the inherent problems.
CHAPTER FOUR:Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Design of the new system, taken into consideration the old system and also the new items or structure that is needed to enhance the new system.
CHAPTER FIVE:Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Describes the programming phase and its objectives, what the new system must input so that it can undertake the implementation of the designated tasks.
