Effective financial reporting is critical for MFIs to ensure transparency, attract investors, and comply with regulatory requirements. However, many microfinance institutions in Nguru LGA struggle with inadequate financial reporting systems that hinder their ability to manage funds effectively and build trust with stakeholders. This study will evaluate the financial reporting practices of MFIs in Nguru LGA and explore their impact on institutional performance, transparency, and sustainability.
