Background of the Study
Investors rely heavily on accurate and timely financial reporting to make informed decisions about the viability and profitability of potential investments. In Billiri LGA, local businesses, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs), often struggle with maintaining transparent and comprehensive financial reporting. This lack of transparency can deter potential investors and undermine confidence in the financial integrity of businesses operating in the area. This study explores how financial reporting influences investor confidence in Billiri LGA and seeks to identify the key factors that contribute to fostering a trustworthy business environment for investors.

This study will assess the role of financial reporting in boosting investor confidence in Billiri LGA.
