PREMISE: Cooperative societies have become alternatives to other financial institutions in Nigeria in the provisions of micro finance and rendering of other vital services that are germane to development. The importance of cooperative societies cannot be overemphasized; they are geared towards alleviating poverty and improving the standard of living of the people. However, most cooperative officers have inadequate skills in record keeping, loan management, fraud prevention/detection among others. Consequently, they do not achieve their goals of existence. It is therefore imperative to build the capacity of cooperative societies on specific management skills that will position cooperatives to become key players in Nigeria’s economy.
The importance of records and information management in organisations cannot be over-emphasized. This is particularly so in the face of wider use of the modern information and communication technology. Inspite of its importance, records and information management in most public and private sector organizations are poor and ineffective in keeping pace with modern organizational practices.
