ABSTRACT
The study evaluated the impact of cash control on corporate performance of financial institutions in Nigeria. It extracted data from annual reports of the selected bank from 2008 to 2017 based on availability of data. The study adopted the ex post facto research design and used cash management as proxy for cash control while gross earnings, profit after tax and investments of the bank were employed as proxies for corporate performance. From the analysis conducted, the results established that gross earnings, profit after tax and investments are positively influenced by cash management. The study concludes that a good cash management system will ensure better control of financial risk, increase the opportunity for profit, strengthen the company's statement of financial position, ensure increased confidence in financial institutions and improve operational efficiency. It therefore recommends that financial institutions should operate within the cash reserve ratio limit and also introduce cash management controls that will be applied across all the banking sector as this will contribute to better corporate performance.
