Background of the Study
Microfinance institutions (MFIs) play a crucial role in promoting financial inclusion by providing financial services to low-income individuals and small businesses. In Daura LGA, MFIs are integral to the local economy, but concerns have been raised regarding their financial reporting practices and compliance with relevant standards. Proper financial reporting is essential for maintaining transparency, building trust with stakeholders, and ensuring that resources are managed effectively. This study evaluates the level of compliance with financial reporting standards in MFIs operating in Daura LGA.
