CHAPTER ONE

1.1      BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

           In every organizing irrespective of its size, ownership, structure, impact of ration analysis on management decision making occupy a  crucial position.

           However, given this centrality, it can be said that behind every successful organization, the process in which the management arrive at decision making is very important as far as financial management is concerned in the private sector of the economy and especially in a banking institution like ZENITH BANK.

In a nutshell, the impact of ration analysis on management decision making which is the most preoccupation of this research work is referred to the manner through which the management of organization takes decision suitable for profit as possible, future planning, controlling current performance and future development through liquidity analysis, leverage analysis and activity analysis.

Significance change has taken place in recent years in the size and complexity of both private organization and public organization because of this management is faced with evaluation in technical, social political and economic forces. As a result, the methods of arriving at the decision as become more difficult to management especially in accounting activity of the organization.

This research is devoted to examination of some major impact of ratio analysis in financial institution (ZENITH BANK OF AFRICAN).

Zenith Bank was established in May, 1990. It became a Public Limited Company in July, 2004, and had an initial public offering on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) on October, 21 of that year. Also in 2004, credit rating agency fetch ratings identified its credit as AA on their long-term scale. The Bank has been in a series of controversies regarding its labour practices. The bank developed a penchant for mass terminations of staff employment without regard to due process. A series of court cases instigated against the bank by ex-employees adds credence to this view. In 2010, the Bank was defrauded of about N7.5Billion by a staff and was made to make provisions for it by Nigeria’s Reserve Bank.
