Cross Examination Of Nigerian Financial Software Development

By Marcie Goodman


There are several systems that are used for the maintaining of various accounting records within a financial organization. An accounting system is uniquely developed to take care of all the recording needs. In most cases, the receivables, payable expenses and an array of expenses that are incurred in the process of running various operations are recorded in one system. The Nigerian financial software development process should assess the current needs of various users before implementing a new system.

A financial application has various features that enable the inputting of key elements. The applications manage the inputs and process them. Before the inputs are keyed into this system, a couple of elements need to be defined. There are a number of accounts that are available. These are used for registering the receivables, payable expenses, investment expenses and the development expense.

There is a need to establish the problems that need to be tackled before embarking on the process of developing the various applications. The organization assessments establish the current needs of the firms in question. Through the examination of such problems, the definition of the demands is done. This helps the programmers and the developers to break down the problems into smaller bits.

The application development path is very risky and complicated. The problems are defined and as result the urgent matters are understood very well. The large problems that have been pinpointed are broken down into a series of smaller bits. The features that are offered by the structural programming tools ensure that problems can be easily be broken into smaller bits. This is followed by the assembling of a team of experts and the delegation of duties.

Coding is done by programmers and this puts the problems in question into a perspective. The process is managed by project managers with special skills in computing. Various programs are used in the process of entering the codes into the computers. The codes are broken down into smaller applications which are dealt with at each stage. Once the coding of these bits has been completed, the final project is assembled into the final piece.

The project managers are faced with a couple of constraints. The constraints are mainly in the form of costs and time factors. Budgets are drafted at the onset of most projects. The costs that are likely to be incurred are estimated. Inflation on the prices makes the projects more expensive and this may delay the implementation.

Implementation of the software projects is supervised by the managers with the help of risk analysts. T reduce the risk of failure, most of the new projects are run side to side with the old systems. This is done for some time until the experts are assured that they meet the intended objectives.

The Nigerian financial software development process is done in accordance with the international standards. The computing standards ensure that the projects that are implemented have certain qualities. Through the standardization process, the risks in the computing world are reduced as the systems are thoroughly tested.
