Before banks lend money they are interested in the ability of their ability to refund the loan at the appropriate time.

 Management information is indispensable in granting such loan, overdraft and other advances also in monitoring the realized of the disbursed funds. Before the decision is reached management information should be sought for the choices as well as the outcome of the possible decision. Having critically estimated cost of each alternative and bearing in mind that the major aim of banks is maximizing profit, the management of the bank use the  data and basis, provided in management information in taking decision that is in line with the goals of the organization.
