Background of the Study
Microfinance institutions (MFIs) in Nguru LGA provide essential financial services to low-income individuals and small-scale businesses that do not have access to traditional banking services. 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.

This study seeks to assess the financial reporting practices in these institutions and identify areas for improvement.
