ABSTRACT
This research is aimed at evaluating the
impact of responsibility accounting on the financial performance of companies
in Nigeria. Responsibility accounting involves different organizational
sub-units like the cost, profit, and investment departments. These departments
or sub-units provide information to top management about their performances.
This system of accounting cannot work except the organization is decentralized.
The research highlighted how decentralization can work effectively where
responsibility accounting system is established and how responsibility reports
can assist in evaluating performance of subordinates and the sub-units. Therefore,
to achieve the aim of this research, the researcher collected data's of three
(3) different responsibility centers of Warn Refining and Petrochemical Company
Limited, Delta State and formulated hypotheses were tested using Pearson's
correlation coefficient and simple regression analysis after which the
findings, recommendations and conclusions were made. FINDINGS: After testing
the hypotheses based on the data collected, it was observed that the company
maintained effective internal control system and the concept of
decentralization is in practice. Also the measurement of profit is complicated
by the problem of transfer prices and a managers competency, can affect a company’s
financial performance. However, the researcher recommends that unit managers
should ensure that the quality and quantity of services they produce should
influence the financial performance of the company. Finally, responsibility
accounting is an effective tool for evaluating the financial performance of a
company
