Background of the Study
The textile industry in Kano State is one of the oldest and most significant sectors in Nigeria’s industrial landscape, contributing to employment, economic growth, and export revenue. However, despite its contribution, many textile companies in Kano face challenges in adopting modern accounting practices. The accounting systems employed by businesses in this sector often fail to align with contemporary standards, which can lead to inefficiencies in resource allocation, cost management, and financial planning. This study aims to evaluate the accounting practices in the textile industry in Kano State and determine how these practices impact business performance, profitability, and growth.
