ABSTRACT
Small scale enterprises play a vital role in the economic
development of any Country. In Nigeria, the management of these enterprises
have been constrained By lack of knowledge of accounting by the stakeholders.
This study aimed at Examining the impact of accounting information in the
survival of small businesses in Nigeria (a case study of star paper mill Aba).
The study spotlighted the importance of small scale enterprises in the
development of Nigerian economy, problems that pose a threat to the survival of
small scale businesses and the relevance of accounting information to the
operations of a business/organi7iltion. Structured questionnaire was employed
in the course of gathering relevant data for the study. 20 employees from star
paper mill enterprises in Aba, was selected for the study. While chi-square
statistical technique was used in data analysis. The results indicated among
others that the success of small scale business enterprises in Nigeria depends
greatly but not solely in accounting information; that most small scale
businesses do not keep accounting records due to ignorance about accounting
information. The study therefore concluded that for small scale businesses to
function successfully, adequate accounting information is necessary therefore
managers of small businesses should employ and utilize the services of
professional accountants who perform expert and useful accounting services to
small scale firms in order to improve on their operational performance. 4
