Background of the Study

Government intervention programs aim to support SMEs by providing financial aid, training, and infrastructure to foster business growth and sustainability. In Oyo State, these programs have been instrumental in promoting accounting transparency, which is essential for building trust with stakeholders and securing external funding (Adebayo & Ojo, 2024).
However, the effectiveness of these interventions varies, often due to inadequate program design, poor implementation, and limited awareness among SMEs. This study investigates the impact of government intervention programs on accounting transparency in Oyo State, highlighting successes and areas for improvement.

Statement of the Problem

Despite the introduction of numerous government intervention programs, many SMEs in Oyo State still struggle with accounting transparency. Issues such as lack of awareness, inadequate training, and mismanagement of resources hinder the effectiveness of these programs, resulting in financial irregularities and reduced business credibility (Adediran & Fagbemi, 2023).
Understanding the relationship between government interventions and accounting transparency is crucial for optimizing these programs and ensuring sustainable SME growth.

Objectives of the Study

  1. To evaluate the impact of government intervention programs on accounting transparency among SMEs in Oyo State.

  2. To identify challenges limiting the effectiveness of these programs.

  3. To propose measures for improving the impact of government interventions on accounting practices.

Research Questions

  1. How do government intervention programs affect accounting transparency in SMEs in Oyo State?

  2. What challenges limit the effectiveness of these programs?

  3. What measures can enhance the impact of government interventions on accounting practices?

Research Hypotheses

  1. Government intervention programs do not significantly impact accounting transparency in SMEs in Oyo State.

  2. Challenges do not significantly limit the effectiveness of government intervention programs.

  3. Proposed measures do not significantly enhance the impact of government interventions on accounting practices.
