These businesses, however, often face challenges in managing their finances due to the absence of effective accounting systems. Many agribusinesses in Gboko LGA operate without formal accounting structures, which impedes their ability to monitor expenses, track profits, and make informed decisions. This study evaluates the existing accounting systems in agribusinesses in Gboko LGA, aiming to understand how these systems influence the financial health and growth potential of the agribusiness sector.
