Background of the Study
Financial accounting plays a critical role in the success and sustainability of small and medium enterprises (SMEs), particularly in regions such as Birnin Kebbi LGA, where entrepreneurship is a key driver of the local economy. Proper financial accounting practices allow businesses to track their revenues, expenses, and investments, providing insight into their financial health. However, many businesses in this region struggle with inadequate financial management, often due to a lack of training in proper accounting techniques. As a result, these businesses face challenges in budgeting, tax compliance, and resource allocation, which can negatively impact their overall performance. This study seeks to evaluate the impact of financial accounting training on the performance of businesses in Birnin Kebbi LGA, examining how enhancing accounting skills can lead to improved financial outcomes and business sustainability.

This lack of financial literacy often results in low profitability, inadequate planning, and limited access to financial support from banks or investors.

This study will address the gap by evaluating how financial accounting training influences the operational efficiency and growth prospects of businesses in Birnin Kebbi LGA.
