always demand lbr borrowers' linancial statements before taking decisions.
Accounting information has no significant effect in bank's lending decisions.
Adequate use of accounting information has not contributed to reduction in the
incidence of bad debts. From the findings, it is seen that accounting
information is important in bank's lending decisions. Conclusion, banks make
adequate use of accounting information in making decisions, although the extent
to which they use the financial statement differ from one bank to another. Thus,
the financial statement required from customers is profit and loss account,
balance sheet and sometimes fund flo-w statement. Recommendation, banks should
intensify their demand on the customers providing accounting information when
they are making proposals for loans. Banks should also demand for collateral
security from their customers to ensure that borrowed loans are paid as at when
due.
