| description | This article accounts for the findings from a study conducted in secondary schools located in south western
Uganda. The study was about Cost and Management Accounting Practices, ICT Usage and Financial
Performance of Secondary Schools. This study adopted a cross-sectional and correlational design.
Questionnaires were administered to 435 secondary schools. The Unit of analysis was secondary schools and the
unit of inquiry was head teachers/their representatives.The findings indicate that the adjusted R² is 27.4% and the
F-ratio (F = 9.122) is significant. This means that the total predictive power of cost and management accounting
and ICT adoption account for 27.4% in financial performance of secondary schools. (R² = 0.274, p <0.01). The
results supported the earlier set three (3) hypotheses in the literature review. The results emphasize that cost and
management accounting practices highly influence financial performance of secondary schools.The study
emphasized that Education is acute to the generation of strong, and enlightened countries, to which Uganda
aspires to be. In recent years, Uganda Primary Education (UPE) has procreated large proliferations in the number
of students yearning secondary education in Uganda. Private secondary schools have been established to
encounter the superfluous demand. Without steadfast cost and management systems to guarantee stable financial
performance, the secondary schools must, as any other enterprise throughout the world, become financially
autonomous, their survival is in doubt. |
