| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of the study was to explore the effects of outsourcing of accounting services on
performance of deposit taking SACCOs in Nairobi County. To satisfy the research objective, the
study population was the 42 deposit taking SACCOs in Nairobi in Nairobi County. The data was
collected using secondary data collection mode, by use of financial performance reports, journals
and past studies. The data collected was analyzed using descriptive statistics and presented using
tables. SPSS (statistical package for Social Sciences) version 22 was used in analyzing data.
Regression analysis was also performed in establishing the relationship between outsourcing
practices and performance of SACCOs in Nairobi County. The regression analysis revealed that
outsourcing, liquidity and Managerial quality do not significantly affect the performance of
SACCOs in Nairobi County. The researcher therefore recommends that SACCO’s management
be educated on the need to have outsourcing in SACCOs operations and come up with clear
outsourcing strategies that will ensure that the benefits of outsourced services surpasses cost.
SACCOs should also use bank and other financial institutions to benchmark their outsourcing
practices, identify the gaps and come up with strategies of overcoming such gaps. | en_US |
