ABSTRACT

The proposed project topic above is centered on the critical needed for registration of both the individuals and the entire cooperate society as one of its outstanding members. Apart from this, it focuses on the requirements, which any member subscribing for loan should possess, highlighting the procedures factors that must be met by individual before his/her request is considered. This project work is geared towards minimizing the time, which is normally used for orientation of the new members, as this will be computerized once and for all.

CHAPTER ONE

1.0                                   INTRODUCTION

1.1     GENERAL OVERVIEW

            A cooperative system is any machine, which can accept data and information presented to it in a prescribed from, carryout some operations on the input an supply the required results in a specified format as information.

            A cooperative society is the coming together of group of people for the purpose of improving their financial position or standings by pulling their resources together which would have been difficult or almost to achieve individual.

            Technology that was once beyond the reach of small business is now common in all places, giving rise to new breed of entrepreneurs who use the computer to produce new products and seek out to and capture new market due to:

(1)               A high proportion of repetitive operations.

(2)               To improve cash flow from sales of product.

The advent of computers has brought about invaluable achievement to means of life. Computers were able to achieve a lot in a very short period of time.

The situation of computer being scarcely available in some years ago has now  

improved drastically as the cost of acquiring computer system has drastically reduced and has allowed thousands of personal computers.

            Computer technologies have contributed to business all over the world. Companies, banks, institutions and others now rely on computers to assist in virtually every aspect of commence. They are essential for efficiency and prompt responsiveness, so there is need for automation.

            Computerized cooperative society operations will make the expected benefits to be realized.

.2                 PURPOSE OF THE STUDY

The main objective of carrying out this research is in partial fulfillment of the award of National Diploma in Computer Science.

It will also bring into focus the various ways by which the use of computer can be of great benefit to the cooperative societies.

The aim and objectives of the research works are the following:-

1.         To provide adequate security on records of the union.

2.         To reduce any attempt of misplacement of data.

3.         To ease the problems of loan acquisition.

4.         To make data validation easier and faster

5.         To computerize the system that will ensure prompt and accurate withdraw of

money

.3                  SCOPE OF THE STUDY

The case study of this project is Ayedire Local Government staff cooperative Investment and credit union society. It is presently located in the premises of the Ayedire Local Government.

The scope of the study will cover the process of computerizing all the transaction made by the above named union.

1.4     SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

The significance of the study are follows,
