b) Due to rapid change in the computer technology, the computer and related facilities can become outdated very fast, hence posing a risk of capital loss.
c) Changing from the old system, the manual system, to a computerized system is a gradual process during which there is interruption in the normal working environment.

In case the computer system fails, it might be extremely difficult to revert back to the old manual system. For this reason, stand by procedures are necessary, but expensive.
