The study element consists of accountants: 42.9% with professional qualification and 57.1% without. The study variables are of nominal categories consisting of the effectiveness of computerization, which influences many items of variables grouped under two main variables; speed and accuracy. Data collected were both primary and secondary. Primary data were collected using questionnaire and oral interview while secondary data were gathered from materials or information collected previously by researchers stored in books, magazine and journals for future reference. Descriptive statistics was used to summarize the respondent characteristics and chi-square (X2) statistical method was used to establish association between nominal variable and the construct. Research findings indicate that computerization of accounting system impacted positively on the provision of information in the banking sector. It is recommended that the organization should provide additional training on computerization which will enable staff to perform better.
