Abstract: AN ASSESSMENT OF FUND ACCOUNTING FOR MUTUAL FUNDS AND EXCHANGE-TRADED FUNDS (ETFs)
The study aims to: (1) analyze the specific accounting practices required for mutual funds and ETFs; (2) assess the impact of accurate fund accounting on investor confidence and fund performance; and (3) identify the challenges and best practices in accounting for these investment vehicles. A survey research design was chosen to capture a wide range of perspectives from industry professionals. Using Taro Yamane's formula, a sample size of 300 fund accountants and managers from Lagos, Nigeria, was determined to be statistically significant. The case study focuses on a major mutual fund in Lagos to provide practical insights. A reliability coefficient score of 0.85 indicates the reliability of the survey instrument. Findings suggest that precise accounting practices are essential for accurate pricing, risk management, and regulatory compliance in mutual funds and ETFs. The study recommends enhancing accounting standards specific to these funds, increasing the use of automated accounting systems, and fostering greater collaboration between fund managers and accountants to ensure accurate financial reporting.
