Unlike the stone age when computer has not been in existence, people were getting information from inscriptions on stones and carvings in wood.  All these information are soon forgotten because there was no special method designed to preserve then.

In Nigeria before the advent of computer, nearly al clerical works are, done by paper and pen. This gives rise to

Therefore, the use of computer in recording accounting information in this modern world cannot be over sighted.
