The data used for this study was collected through the questionnaire technique as the primary source of data. Thereafter, data which was collected from the respondent was analyzed using simple regression Model using the statistical packages for social sciences (SPSS). The summary of the findings of the research revealed that the coefficient of accounting information system (A/S) were all positive in all the three hypotheses, meaning that there exists a positive influence between accounting information system and SMEs performance in the short run; and the study recommends among others, that to encourage the adoption of sound accounting system in small and medium scale enterprises, the cost of installing and operating such systems should be minimized before making short and long-term policies, plans and decisions.
