ABSTRACT

This work is aimed at finding the impact of working capital management on deposit money banks performance in Nigeria. The high rate of failure, and loss depositor's money attributable to illiquidity and improper management of working capital over the years has been a subject of concern to the researcher, it is on this background that an investigation into the impact of working capital management on deposit money banks performance is conducted, for the purpose of achieving the objective of the study, the following hypotheses were formed: HO1: gross working capital has no effect on bank performance, HO2: there is no significant effect of cash management on bank liquidity, HO3:marketable securities management has no effect on profitability of banks, HO4:there is no significant effect of account receivable management and bank's total assets. Using longitudinal designs, data from JIB A' S financial statement' s and annual balance sheet on working capital management for 15 years were statistically analyzed, multiple and simple regression models were used. The result reveals HO1is significant at 10%, HO2at 1%, HO3at 1% and HO4at 1%. Therefore, it is concluded that gross working capital management has effect on bank performance, cash management has strong effect on bank liquidity, marketable security management has effect on profitability of banks and account receivable management has great effect on total assets of bank. Based on this, the following recommendations were made: special attention should be placed on management of working capital, invest adequately in cash and avoid idle investment (cash) that earns nothing to the bank, banks should adopt good credit polices and credit analysis. Finally, CBN regular audit on bank's management of working capital will also help improve their performance.
