Abstract

This research aims to explore how accounting information affects economic factors' management, concentrating on the foreign exchange rate and the inflationary pressure of Nigeria. Based on previous works, data, and information systems are highlighted as the key sources of information used for decision-making, policy interventions, and the mitigation of the effects of economic instability and volatility on growth. Cross-sectional research design and a mix of qualitative and quantitative methods are employed to gather data from Dangote Group representatives cut from different departments. The study reveals a significant positive correlation between the use of accounting information and management of exchange rate volatility and mitigation of inflationary pressure. Attendees of the workshop by and large come to the agreement that accounting information is a vital element for enhancing transparency, accountability, and decision-making effectiveness. The research provides evidence of the value of training programs, technological innovation, network formation, policy provisions, and regular monitoring to fully exploit the potential of accounting information for economic management. The findings presented here are prospective in the sense that they will help policymakers, regulators, businesses, and investors to use accounting information more effectively, and hence promote both economic stability and sustainability in Nigeria. As a whole, we can say that this survey provides a basis for growing the field of accounting information and uncovering its impact on economic challenges and resiliency in dynamic economic contexts.
