Description

The objective of the study is to examine the impact of financial management on small and medium scale industries in Nigeria using annual time series data from Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulletin for the period of 1994 to 2014. This investigation is imperative because SMEs play a crucial role in driving economic growth in both developing and developed countries by generating more new jobs than large firms or macro-enterprises and also innovating ideas, products, and business methods. In an attempt to achieve the objective of the study, the study adopts regression analysis using the OLS to capture the financial management on small and medium scale enterprises in Nigeria in Nigeria. In the model for the study small and medium enterprises output was the dependent variable, recurrent budget, capital budget, deficit budget and external reserve were the independent variable. The data for the analysis of the model were collected from Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulletin for the period of 1994 to 2014. The result of the model was facilitated using the Econometric View (E-View). The result of the analysis shows clearly that at 5% level of significance that recurrent budget exert a significant positive impact on small and medium scale enterprises output SMEO in Nigeria. The result also shows that capital budget does not have a significant impact on small and medium scale enterprises output SMEO in Nigeria. It was also established that deficit budget does not have a significant impact on small and medium scale enterprises output SMEO in Nigeria. Finally, the result shows that external reserve does not have a significant impact on small and medium scale enterprises output SMEO in Nigeria. This by implication means financial management in Nigeria does not have a significant impact on small and medium scale enterprises output SMEO in Nigeria. Among others, the study recommends that SME firms should employ the services of qualified accountants in order to upgrade their financial management practices to enhance their overall performance.
