are a type of debt. Like all debt instruments, a loan entails the redistribution
of financial assets over time, between the lender and the borrower. The
borrower initially does receive an amount of money from the lender, which
he has to pay back, usually but not always in regular installments to the
the debt. A loan is of the annuity type if the amount paid periodically (for
paying off and interest together) is fixed. Since computer in business has

STEP THREE: At the Area office, the Area advances analyst cross checks
the proposal with the supporting documents and passes with his own
comments for the area manager’s. Area manager then approves or declines
the proposal and advises the branch manager accordingly. Note that where
the amount requested is beyond the area manager’s discretionary limit, the
breach manager will prepare the proposal forms in the number of copies
called for, depending on the amount involved. These proposal forms and the
authority with a copy to the area manager. The area manager scrutinizes his
calls for such from the branch. Having reached a decision on the proposal,

The loan recovery process of the bank became more prominent with the
noticing of the alarming increase in the trend of the yearly balance of bad
and doubtful debts and the provisions thereof. The bank was so alarmed that
