The documentation management system in most audit firms no doubt, has a difficult task in today’s competitive auditing industry hence there is the need for a fast, more efficient and effective processing system. Taking Anammco Ltd Enugu as a case study, client’s files can not be assessed quickly, and many difficulties are experienced in the updating, verifying and other auditing jobs. The work is geared towards the computerization of the existing system of processing data as well as identifying the various problems which are encountered in the manual and mechanical methods of data processing in the auditing of a clients financial statement of account and to recommend a first class solution to these problems which is to computerize the auditing/processes in an organization. Finally, the thesis was concluded with the implementation, programming, text run and changeover process of the new system.
