Design And Implementation Of Computerised Banking Monitor Information System

INTRODUCTION
The Nigeria economy is in crisis. The situation has been made wise by sanctions imposed on Nigeria by leading western Nations to force a return to democratic rule. These developments had it telling effect on the states. The states government are particularly in hardest hit due to the reduction in their percentage share of the national revenue in federation account itself.
For some time now government have geared efforts towards minimizing her dependence on oil revenue. Two study groups are set up in 1991 to review the entire tax system to enhance its efficiency and revenue field.
The importer government attaches to taxation has made it, that no annual budget is ever complete without introduction one tax measure or the other. The preventing situation of the state government has created an atmosphere of deep reflection and imagination in their attempt to booster and accelerate their internal revenue capacity.
The Board of internal Revenue, Enugu state have thus been reduced to an empty shall of what an ideal revenue board ought to represent input by government to the collection cost is virtually zero, but would want tax authorities to perform miracles. The life style/behaviour of the big shots in government are to say the least embarrassing this apathy by taxpayer tax officials affects yield. The entire globe is presently undergoing a technology revolution, which the computer system is at the center of it all. This automated machine, have finally introduce a standardized global acceptable information system known as information technology which is applied in various fields of human endeavour as Banks, Hospital, industries, Bill systems information Agencies, Aviation, Budgeting, Revenue collection and control, and if used in the Income Tax appraised system for small business operators, will improve the operation and information system of the Board of internal Revenue in the state.
The Oxford Advanced learner’s Dictionary by way of definition state that Tax is” (SUM OF ) MONEY (TO BE ) PAID BY CITIZENS (ACCORDING TO INCOME, VALUE OF PURCHASES, e.c.t) TO THE COVERNMENT FOR PUBLIC PURPOSES”
The Board of internal Revenue of the state have thus been reduced to an empty shell of what an ideal revenue board ought to represent. Input by government to the collection cost is visually zero, but would want tax authorities to perform march’s.
Computerization of income tax appraisal system for small business Operators will eliminate the manual system of operation in the old system. It will encomage quick storage and retrieval of information unnecessary duplication of data, which is witnessed on the old system, will be reduced.

1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
the Board of internal Revenue is by law charged with the responsibility for assessing collecting and accounting for all taxes of Enugu state.

vi. Lack of documents.
In the course of retrieving information of a particular document time is wasted searching through the heap of the files that contain information required.
Therefore, a computerized income Tax Appraisal system for small Business Operators will improve the quality of information generated in the system.

1.3 PURPOSE OF STUDY
The purpose of the study is to identify the problems involved in the Appraisal system of income Tax for small business Operators and hence develop a computerized software to handle them.

1.5 OBJECTIVE OF STUDY
This project is primarily aimed at developing a computer Based income Tax Appraisal system for small Business Operators that will help in finding ways of making the Tax system effective and putting up measures that will help me government realize adequate funds for its development activities.

2. Identify and the problems militating against effective tax assessment activities.
3. Analyze the problems and recommend solution for the resolution.

1.6 LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
the limitations that I encountered in the course of gathering data for the project include, inadequate time and fund for running around for data collection and photocopying of relevant documents and materials required for the successful completion of the study.
Even if the financial resources and means were at my disposal time constraint was a crucial limiting factor.

1.7 ASSUMPTION
Some of the assumption taken into consideration for the project work include. The staff of handle the new system (computer system) were assumed to have a good knowledge of computer operation for efficient use of the new system.
Another assumption is that the love for computer system as a fact machine for information retrieval and storage will make the (the officials and workers of Tax office) accept the introduction of computer in their operations.
The information received from the customers must be accurate, for effective and efficient use of the new system.
