    In recent time, poor financial capacity among industries in the Nigerian productive sector has resulted into poor internal control policies and the success of every organization depends on her financial capacity. This study investigated the impact of internal control and financial performance on small and medium scale enterprises in Kebbi State, Nigeria. A descriptive survey design research was adopted. A total of 338 respondents were used for the study which consists of C.E. O’s, Managers, and Internal control units of the various SMEs in Kebbi State, Nigeria.
