Computer Application in Accounting: a Case Study of the Computerized Ledger System of Nigerian Bottling Company Plc Onitsha Plant.

Preamble of Computer Application in Accounting: a Case Study of the Computerized Ledger System of Nigerian Bottling Company Plc Onitsha Plant

This work examines the problems of computer Application in Accounting as it effects computerized ledger system of Nigerian Bottling Company Plc. Onitsha Plant. It is shown that there is adequate in design, effective and efficient in operation.

Data was collected from primary and secondary sources, using observation, and questionnaires for the first and reference materials in the later.

The data analyzed confirmed that no computer application elaborate, can on itself guarantee efficient administration, nor can it be fill proof against fraudulent acts, pressure from by personnel, overriding decision by management are but a few handicaps to a well intentioned computer application.

It is therefore the intention of the researcher to highlights certain remedies or strategies, that can also be adopted to minimized sort coming of the computerized ledger system and this is discussed in chapter five of this research study.
