ABSTRACT
This study focuses on effect of working capital management on performance of Deposit Money Banks (A study of First Bank Pie and Zenith Bank Pie). The major problem examined in this research is the ineffective and inefficient management of working capital. Data were collected from secondary sources using the ex-post facto research design. The data collected were then tabulated and analyzed using the multiple regression analysis. The result of hypothesis one revealed that current ratio has a significant effect on the profitability of
deposit money banks in Nigeria. The result of hypothesis two showed that debt-to-equity ratio has a significant effect on the profitability of deposit money banks in Nigeria. The finding of hypothesis three revealed that cash ratio has no significant effect on the
profitability of deposit money banks in Nigeria. The finding of hypothesis four indicated that debt ratio has a significant effect on the profitability of deposit money banks in Nigeria.
It is recommended that the management should ensure that the bank will have more assets to pay off their debts in order to have higher profitability. The staff and management should also concentrate on working capital decisions to optimize investments in them and ensure proper planning, forecasting and control. Also the managers should try as much as possible to maintain (manage) their cash operating cycle. This is because, (even as indicated by the cash conversion cycle (CCC)) the longer the cash cycle the less profitable the firm becomes; meaning that a shorter operating cycle is more desirable and advisable as it affects
profitability.
