ABSTRACT
The study centers on the “Use of Accounting as a Management Tool” (A case study of Anambra State Agricultural Development Project, Awka).

Based on the above, it was found that Anambra State Agricultural Development Project uses Accounting as Management Tool. All their financial transactions of Anambra State Agricultural Development project are recorded in the appropriate books of accounts. From these books, revenue projections, expenditure estimates, financial statements, statements of source and application of funds are prepared. Management of Anambra State Agricultural Development project uses ad inter-alia each of these prepared statements as a tool for decision-making, evaluation of the financial strength, profitability and future prospects. Continuous type of budget is used for planning and controlling purposes. Economic rate of return is used to evaluate projects. Profitability is evaluated in terms of the benefits, which the given community derives from a given project.
