CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION
 Introduction

The project entitled “Banking Transactions And Automation” is an approach towards

creating a browser based application to perform the job of the accounting system.
Lodging money into a bank account is a transaction, as is withdrawing money. Adding
interest to an account is a transaction. Direct debits are transactions. Deducting bank
charges is a transaction. Basically any sort of activity involving a change of money in an
account is a transaction. You will get a list of them on a bank account statement.
Automation is the replacement of man power with machine power, as man would no
longer be needed to run it as there are machines that can do a man's job for no pay, and
therefore save a boatload of money.

Right now, man uses machines to do work, but soon automation might replace man
altogether, and many people believe that is bad.

Bank Account Field

you are viewing transactions for a specific bank account, it will be displayed here. If you
are viewing all accounts, then use the If clairvoyant field to enter a bank account.

Transaction Type

Each bank transaction record can be one of four transaction types (five types for sEach
transaction type uses a different layout that contains different data fields. When you
switch from one transaction type to another, the layout will change.

The five transaction types are:

• Check-- A payment made by a sequential check. Available for checking, escrow

and loan transactions only.
• Deposit-- Money paid into the account when received from a job account or a cost
account.
• Payment-- Money paid out to a job account or a cost account.
• Transfer In-- Money moved into this account from another bank account, or money
received from the bank holding this account.
• Transfer Out-- Money moved out of this account into another bank account, or
money paid to the bank holding this account.

Reconcile Field

When a transaction appears on your bank statement, enter a value into the Reconcile field.
After you have entered all items, use the Reconcile command to check the computer
balance against the bank statement.

Running Totals

Each bank transaction shows a running totals for the bank account-- the balance after the
current transaction and all previous transactions have been calculated.
If the running total is positive, it means you have money in the account. If it is negative, it
means the bank is storing negative currency for you.

Bank Fees

Enter bank fees as a Transfer Out.

You can charge bank fees against an Overhead account or any other account for job
costs.

Checks Bounced

If a check that you write bounces, change the status of the Bank Check transaction to
Bounced. Goldenseal will automatically cancel the payment.

If a check that you deposited bounces, you'll need to cancel the Bank Deposit transaction.
How you do that depends on how the deposit was entered.

• If the deposit has no breakdown and covers just the bounced check, change its
status to Bounced.

Credit and Debit Cards

A credit card usually has a negative balance. It has its own running total balance, even if
it's issued by a local bank. Create a Credit Card account for it.

A debit card draws on money in a checking account or savings account. Create a

Checking Account or Savings Account for it. If the card draws on an account that you use
for other things, you don't need to create a separate account for it at all.

Deposits On Account

When a customer pays you in advance before items are due, you can credit it 'on account'.
Goldenseal will deduct it the next time you bill the customer with the Billing command.

We had taken the example of ICICI bank in our project. ICICI Bank is India's second-largest
bank. The Bank has a network of about 573 branches and extension counters and over 2,000 ATMs.
ICICI Bank was originally promoted in 1994 by ICICI Limited, an Indian financial institution, and was its
wholly-owned subsidiary.

MS Access, one of the popularly used Database Management System (DBMS) to create, store and
managing database. Database is a collection of data organized in predictable and structured way. It
provides an easy way to find information quickly and easily based on a chosen reference point. Every
component that is created using Access is an object and several such similar objects constitute a class.
Access is functionally available with the following seven-object classes. Each of these objects classes is
capable of creating their respective object replicas.

• Tables: This object class allows a database designer to create the data tables with
their respective fieldnames, data types and properties.
 • Queries: This object class is meant to create the SQL compatible query statement
with or without the help of Graphic User Interface (GUI) to define tables, stores
data and retrieve both data and information.
• Forms: This object class allows the designer to create an appropriate user
interface to formally interact with the back end database, defined by the tables and
queries.
• Reports: This object class is used to create various reports, the source of
information content of which is based on tables, queries or both. Such reports are
designed in Access according to the requirement of end-user.
• Pages: This object class is meant to create Data Access Pages, which can be
posted on a Web site of an organization using internet or sent via e-mail to
someone of the organization’s network.
• Macros: In macro programming, the objects using individual instructions called
macro-oriented actions are manipulated. A Macro is a list of macro-oriented
actions that run as a unit. Access provided for such Macro programming.
• Modules: There are the foundations of any application and allow the designer to
create a set of programming instructions, called functions or sub-routines that can
be used throughout the application.

Access has certain capabilities, which bring it closer to an ideal Database Management
System. There capabilities are:
• Storing the data in an organized manner.
• Enforcing data integrity constraints.
• Representing complex relationship among data.
• Providing for persistent storage of database objects.
• Restricting unauthorized access to database.
• Allowing fast retrieval of data with or without processing by using SQL.
• Flexibility to create multiple user interfaces.
• Providing for data sharing and multi-user transaction processing.
• Supporting multiple views of data and information.

Objective
• Replicate the existing system which is platform dependent and include lot of
manual work.
• To enhance the capacity of data store for records.
• To provide a friendly user interface.
• To offer a great flexibility of extent and ease.
• Easy maintenance of all the database of all the users

A Query is a question asked by the user to extract information according to his or her
requirement. The result of the query in displayed in the form of date sheet. It changes
with the content of the supporting table.
The data in such queries can come from one or more tables. MS Access retrieves the
data to answer the query and user can view and analyze this data to create a form, a
report or even another query.
Eight queries are created in the project which is as follows:
1. Acc Number
2. Acc Holder Age Greater Than 28
3. Acc Holder Having Current A/C
4. Acc Holder to belong to Male Category
5. Acc Holder who deposit money on 3/15/2008

MANAGERIAL
LESSONS AND
DRAWBACK
From the project it is seen that preparation of manual accounts is difficult as compare to
its preparation in MS Access .there are various benefits of this system such as,
Maintenance is simple, Economical, Faster in processing, convenient and flexible in use
and less prone to errors.

The human being is the earliest and still the most prevalent form of data processor.
Despite an ability to perform the foregoing processing tasks, the human remains an
unreliable source. The existing system was Microsoft Excel based system operated by the
user, which was quite time consuming. Some of the drawbacks, which came in to the
scene when the project was studied are:

.
• Formulas might go wrong.

• Lot of confusion involved in recording numerous data and records..

• Security measures were not present.
• Consume lot of time.
 CHAPTER 7

CONCLUSION
.
As we know that human memory cannot remember all the things related to business so, it
becomes very essential to record the important information in some form. MS-access is a
very powerful tool for the management of databases created to record business
information

A computerized accounting system is an accounting information system that processes

the financial transactions and events as per Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
(GAAP) to produce reports as per requirements. Earlier the work was being carried out
through paperwork or manually. But with the computerized accounting system the whole
work is processed by click of button.

This system would ensure speed, accuracy, reliability, user interface, etc. It also increases
efficiency and ensure better use of resources and time. Besides it, the accounting records
are updated automatically as and when accounting data is entered and stored. Therefore,
latest information pertaining to accounts get reflected when accounting reports are
produced and printed.

No doubt, it is an ever-processing field. Further improvements and suggestions are

always there in terms of more validations, checks, greater simplicity and reliability.
