DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A COMPUTER BASED LOAN SCHEME MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (A CASE STUDY OF HARVARD TRUST BANK ENUGU). A RESEARCH PROJECT MATERIAL ON COMPUTER SCIENCE EDUCATION
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
Loan service for small organizations individuals was initiated after a number of considerations on the banking system. Major Banks are mainly guided by financial profit for their shareholders. They are after minimization of financial risks. Such strategies don’t leave much room to people on low income or even small organizations that strive for their survival.
This research studied the computer-based loan scheme management system-as was done in Harvard Trust Bank Enugu. Loans are readily given to people who have an account (mostly current Account) in the Harvard Trust Bank. Apart from being a customer to the necessary for giving him loan. Such conditions may include: provision of collateral security, having at lest one guarantor and filling the bank loan management form. The collateral security must be a landed property before the bank will accept it. Also, the guarantor must have an account in that bank and must be a reportable person in the society.
The role of computer in loan scheme management can never be overemphasized. The computerized bank loan management form enables bankers to work without stress. Information can be updated as soon as a positive change occurs.
I therefore recommend this project to all who may like to have a look at what the topic is all about. The research work will enable them know the importance of computer in loan scheme management which yield fruitful results as that of other fields of human endeavour.
1.1 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The events of loan scheme management system have been documented. This research will evaluate the perceived motion of computer-based loan scheme management system.
In doing so, attempts will be made to answer the following questions:
- What steps are taken in designing a computer-base loan scheme management system?
- How can a computer-base loan scheme management be implemented?
- What are the implications of not meeting the above requirements?
- How far have the computer-base loan scheme management system gone in achieving the desired goals?
1.2 PURPOSE OF STUDY
The purpose of this study is to bring to check the anomaly associated with the Harvard Trust computer-based loan scheme management system.
As the loan scheme management is done by man, irregularities are bound to be associated with it.
If these loan scheme management systems are effectively carried out in the computer, it will yield fruitful results.
