It is basically a field based research relying on primary and secondary sources of information. The researcher edited the data collected to ensure that the information received from respondents was accurate and consistent. The researcher analyzed the data using the qualitative and quantitative methods. Findings indicate that the enterprise which lack or with poor record keeping systems have operational control problems reflected m their poor performance. The study also revealed that few of these enterprises operate computerized record keeping systems and manual systems in place are generally inadequate and poor in most cases. Recommendations towards means of improving record keeping systems were suggested and emphasis was particularly laid on developing competencies to enhance the quality of record keeping with specific focus on type, adequacy and updated-ness of records kept.
