            -           Insufficient knowledge of the subject matter:  Most candidates lack good understanding of the subject as a  result, they could not satisfactorily attempt some questions on types of discount and instruments of payments;
            -           Functions of development of Banks and why central bank is referred to as government Bank which were in questions 4 and 6 respectively;
            -           Tertiary Production, discount, Four Promising Note, Bank Draft Standing Order which in question 1 and 4 respectively;
            -           Few candidates attempted question on calculations in which they did not do well.
