Abstract:
This study investigates the effect of outsourcing on management accounting functions in Lagos State, Nigeria. The objectives are to: (1) evaluate how outsourcing impacts the efficiency of management accounting activities, (2) assess the influence on cost management and reduction, and (3) analyze the challenges and risks associated with outsourcing management accounting functions. A survey design was chosen to gather comprehensive data from financial managers and accountants in various industries. The sample size, calculated using Taro Yamane's formula, ensures representativeness with a 95% confidence level and a 5% margin of error. Seplat Petroleum Development Company Plc was selected as the case study due to its significant outsourcing activities. The reliability coefficient score of the survey was 0.93. Findings indicate that outsourcing management accounting functions can significantly enhance efficiency and reduce costs but also introduces risks related to data security and quality control. It is recommended that companies in Lagos State develop robust outsourcing frameworks and conduct thorough due diligence to mitigate these risks and maximize the benefits of outsourcing.
