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.
