Background of the Study
In Nigeria, government-led workshops are frequently organized to address gaps in financial reporting and management among SMEs. Lagos State, being a hub for economic activity, hosts a significant number of SMEs that contribute to Nigeria's GDP. However, many of these businesses fail to comply with financial reporting standards due to inadequate knowledge or lack of access to relevant training. Government-led accounting workshops aim to fill this gap by providing training in financial reporting and compliance with regulatory frameworks. This study explores the extent to which these workshops improve financial reporting practices among SMEs in Lagos State.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the regular organization of government-led accounting workshops, many SMEs in Lagos State still struggle with poor financial reporting practices. Issues such as inaccurate record-keeping, non-compliance with regulatory requirements, and limited adoption of standardized accounting methods persist. This raises concerns about the effectiveness of these workshops in addressing the underlying challenges.

-
To evaluate the effectiveness of government-led accounting workshops in improving financial reporting practices among SMEs in Lagos State.
-
To assess the level of compliance with financial reporting standards among SMEs that have attended these workshops.
