CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1            Background to the Study

Financial reporting covers those activities related to the preparation of certain reports which hark own as financial statement. These statement reports the financial status of a firm at a particular time, the firms activities and resulting profit or losses or during the most recent period and the flow of resources occurring within the firm during the same period.

The statement made by Montgomery (1998) gives us an idea on the meaning of financial accounting. However this question arises, what are the effects of these financial accounting reports in the management of business enterprise? The answer poses a problem which the paper will seek to solve because not all business person understand the impact of financial reporting information on the management of their business, some manages business intuitively, others like defaulters who disobey road traffic, disobey the warning communicated by financial reporting information and end up in a ‘business accident’.

There are other sources of information which have impact on the management of business and the combination of those sources gives an information system in a complex nature “it must not be thought that accounting of any firm is the management control system, instead it is part of it! But accounting information is the only system through which both managers and external users get a picture of the organization as a total entity.


1.2            Statement of the Problem

Finance is of fundamental importance to the business organization. The financial reporting system in most business enterprise does not portray fully the principle of accounting systems. The flows of information, the cost of collecting any information and the internal control procedures have some loop holes.

In reality, it would be impossible for the researcher to study all the organization. This study involves some typical financial reporting. It’s effect on the effective management of business enterprise. The researcher will carryout an empirical study and appraisal of a business financial reporting and see whether there is room for improvement to be made. It will therefore involves a review of the financial reporting and its related procedure.


1.3            Research Questions

a.                 Does the neglect of financial reporting information has a positive effect on the effective management of a business enterprise?

b.                 Does the neglect of financial reporting information have a negative effect on the effective management of a business enterprise?

d.                 Does financial reporting has effect on the effective management of business enterprise?


1.4            Objectives of the Study

The objective of this research is to find out; what relevance is the financial reporting to business enterprise, what source of finance are available to the business enterprise, if financial reporting in an organization adequately has an impact on the profit earning of that enterprise knowing fully well the goal of every business is profit optimization.

1.7            Scope of the Study

A look into the document of the business and drawings heavily from such record is intended. Financial reporting is often regarded as “figure”. Such figures will be useful to both those who have knowledge of accounting and those who do not.


1.8            Limitation of Study

One of our main constraints in the course of this project work has actually been in the area of data collection and the authority to give out information.

The library and textbook could not provide sufficient information. I then had to check other libraries and information centers for data required.

Furthermore, this was not easy to coordinate due to large amount of work involved in combining class work with research.

c.                  Management: This can be defined as the rational selection of causes of action to optimize the interrelationship of man, material and money for the survival and growth of the organization. It can be regarded as the process of getting things done through other people. A person who manages is called a manager.
