ABSTRACT
Effective management and decision making has remained a big problem in both small, medium scale and the banking sector in Nigeria. Hence the need to handle this prompted this research study on financial management: a panacea for effective management and decision making in organizations. The 'objective of the study is to analyze the effect of financial management tools on the profitability and decision making of the organization. The data collected were analyzed and presented using tables. The hypotheses were tested using Pearson's correlation analysis. For the first hypothesis, the null hypothesis was accepted. For the second hypothesis, the null hypothesis was rejected. The major findings made were that the working capital of banks was not properly managed and the gross earnings of the selected banks were not sufficient to satisfy shareholders needs. On recommendation, banks should pay attention to their working capital (current asset) since it is concerned with the everyday running of the business and also to help in effective management and decision making in organizations.
