A computer may be analog; digit and hybrid computers.  It can also be mainframe, mini and micro computer.

c.            The computer having his own language, one needs to write the interrogatory tool (computer software) in the programme language under which the data were created.
d.           As a result of the problem, the auditor has difficulties in auditing the system because it will limit speed and ability.
1.3         STATEMENT OF HYPOTHESIS

          Auditing in an EDP system is very peculiar activity which require a stream of logic from the practitioners deep dedication form the auditor and provision of specialized atmospheric condition for clear service, but because of the presence of dust and moisture in the atmosphere of most financial sector with EDP system power failure and other logic reasons the auditor in the cause of his audit finds out that some for the information stored in the backing storage cannot be retrieved because of dust, this in effect has effect on the auditors opinion.
