The findings indicated that there is a weakly positive correlation between accounting information systems and the standard of financial statements, with a Pearson correlated coefficient of (R) = 0.426* * * and an adjusted R2 square of 17.1%, suggesting that systems for processing transactions are in charge of the overall standard of financial reports. The study found a substantial positive correlation between information technology for accounting and income statements.

Asiimwe Susan, Otim John William
E-procurement practice and organization management
E-Procurement is more than just a system for making purchases online. It has been advocatedas a key performance indicator that can improve performance and competence of firms. Some companies implement e-procurement and succeed while others fail. This study had four objectives: to determine the influence data transmission on organizational performance; to determine the influence of buyer/supplier collaboration on organizational performance, to examine the influence of systems management on organizational performance and to establish the influence of billing management on organizational performance of Nansana Municipality. The study adopted a descriptive approach to establish the influence of e-procurement on organizationalperformance. Keeping other factors constant, a one percent increase in electronic buyer/supplier collaboration would on average lead to 0.224 increase in organizational management. This is statistically significant at 95% confidence since the P-value (0.015) is less than 0.05 and thus we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is a significant relationship between electronic buyer/supplier collaboration and organizational management. The study also recommends that future research will need to be carried in other industries and countries in order to show if the link between eprocurement components and organizational performance can be generalized. These findings of the study will enable managers in organizations to formulate e-procurement policies that will ensure a positive impact on strategic performance of the firms.

Questionnaires and interviews were used to collect data from a sample of 134 respondents of which ninety (90) returned their well filled questionnaires giving a response rate of 67.2%. The findings revealed that all the relationships were positive and significant, except relationship between contract administration and service delivery. The results shows that there was no significant relationship between contract administration and service delivery (r=0.158, p<0.136), there was a significant relationship between delivery management and service delivery (r=0.532, p<0.000); while relationship between relationship management and service delivery was also significant (r=0.354, p<0.001). However, none of the variables were highly inter-related. The researcher concludes that delivery management is more significant in contract management than the blend of relationship management and contract administration accounting for 28.3% variation in service delivery in Uganda Public sector.

external auditing and financial performance
The study aimed at external auditing and the financial performance of Marianum press limited, Kisubi and it was guided by the following objectives; to determine the effect of verification of accounting data and financial performance of organization in Kisubi, to determine whether or not external auditors exercise professional ethics and competences while auditing organizations in Kisubi and to ascertain the effect of internal control on the performance of organizations in Kisubi. However, upon comparing the Jarque-Bera value (0.9) with the significance level (0.05), we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the disturbance terms are not normally distributed since 0.9 is greater than 0.05. According to the findings, the research study establishes that the effectiveness of verification of accounting data on accountability of a Marianum Press limited ensures avoidance of manipulation of accounts, ensures proper valuation of public assets, enhances proper recording and valuation of assets, ensures arithmetic accuracy of accounts, detection of frauds and errors in the transactions and it exhibits a true and fair view of the state of affairs of a Marianum Press limited. It is evident that as much as internal auditing exists in Marianum Press limited, it is inadequate and inefficient in management of accountability and improvement of performance. This therefore calls for a stronger and effective auditing genre (External auditing or statutory auditing) to help the Marianum Press limited improve on Accountability, Quality service delivery and Economic efficiency alias Performance of the Marianum Press limited appropriately.

Its goals are to ascertain whether sociodemographic, the environment, as well as educational factors have an impact on female entrepreneurs' success in small and medium-sized businesses in Kawempe Division. A longitudinal and causal survey approach was used for the investigation. 121 female business owners were among the 121 sampled utilizing simple and purposeful selection at random. A questionnaire for survey purposes was used to gather the information. Descriptive statistics, frequency bands, means, and deviations from mean were used to examine this data. With the use of the correlation coefficient of Pearson's index, the study's goals were examined. r = 0.811** sig = 0.000, less than 0.05, is the correlation coefficient of Pearson's index between education and the performance of female entrepreneurs. This suggested that education and the effectiveness of female entrepreneurs had a highly favorable, substantial link. It was suggested that if the achievement of female entrepreneurship in Kawempe Division is to be improved, responsible organizations like the business sector organization should implement a program that motivates women to start their own businesses. This can be accomplished by demonstrating to them that factors such as marital status, age, gender, and others shouldn't prevent them from conducting commerce.

Namazzi Racheal, Dr Omedo Vincent
child preparedness and pregnant women

In Bbaale parish, Bbaale sub county, Kayunga district, the study results on the methods to influence pregnant women's perceptions moving forward into preparing for birth showed that 50 (62.5%) had been focused on ANC, 5 (6.25%) were equipped for any health problems, 17 (21.25%) involved one's men, and 8 (10%) made one's particular men aware of and like attempting to make frequent trips as per the researcher's recommendations. The variability of the sample (20.12) ranges from the lowest (19) and highest (30), and age has been shifted to the right because it perfectly fits the results for the center of gravity. (68). Because 0.56 is more than 0.05 and the Jarque-Bera value is higher than 0.05, we reject the notion of a null and conclude that the disturbance components are not regularly distributed. The results of the inquiry validated the recommendations that have been provided below. In order to ensure that females are not entirely reliant on the monetary assistance of men, the government ought to encourage them alongside to setting up SACCOS for them and providing start-up funding. Their standard of living will rise, and maternity care efforts must be widely disseminated in order to boost women's ability to obtain knowledge about reproductive readiness.
