Background of the Study
Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Northern Nigeria face numerous challenges, including financial management issues that threaten their sustainability. Managerial accounting practices, such as budgeting, cost control, and financial forecasting, can provide SMEs with the tools they need to better manage their resources, improve decision-making, and ensure long-term sustainability. This study will explore how managerial accounting practices contribute to the sustainability of SMEs in Northern Nigeria.
