CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY Purpose and nature of accounting the underlying purpose of accounting is to provide financial information about business enterprise.

Inorder to provide useful financial information about a business enterprise, we need some means of keeping back of the daily business activities and the summarizing the results in accounting system meign, Walter B. et al (1962). The first function of accounting system is to create a systematical record of the daily business activity , in the term of money for instance , goods and service s are purchase and sold credit in extended to customers, debts are incurred, and services and cash is received and paid out. These transactions are typical of business events which can be expressed in monetary terms and must be entire in accounting record. The more expression of an intent to buy goods or services in the future does not represent a transaction. Transaction refers to a completed action rather than to an expected or possible future action. The recording of a transaction may be performed in many ways that is by writing will pen or pencil, by printing with mechanical Or electronic equipment or by punching holes or making magnetic impressions on cards or tape.
