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.
