The objective of the study was to examine the impact of management information system on the accounting of manufacturing firms in Nigeria. This is imperative because every aspect of management in the modern age relies heavily on information to thrive. Changing circumstances and environments have necessitated the need for the proper dissemination of information at various levels of management. In an attempt to achieve the broad objective of the study, three (3) hypotheses was raised in the study for validation and a sample of one twenty (120) staff of six (6) purposively selected manufacturing firms in Ogun and Lagos States was used in the study. Data was collected through the use of a self-structure design questionnaire. The simple percentage method, and correlation analysis was used in the analysis and the result was facilitated using the statistical package for social and sciences (SPSS 20.0). The result of the analysis at 5% level of significance shows that management information system has a very strong significant positive impact on the quality and reliability of accounting information in manufacturing industry in Nigeria. it was also established that the usage management information system has a very strong positive significant impact on firms decision in the manufacturing sectors of Nigeria. Lastly, the usage of management information system was found to have a very strong positive significant impact on manufacturing firms’ profitability in Nigeria. The study among other recommendations, recommends the introduction and operation of central-data-base management system through which information can be produced and communicated to various users at any point in time within the firm.
