    (Baraton Interdisciplinary Research Journal, 2017-01) Samson Sibande; Millicent A. Ojwan’g; Daniel Allida
    The purpose of this study was to evaluate principals’ financial management performance in accounting and budgeting in Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) secondary schools in Northern Malawi. The study used descriptive comparative research design and was guided by Responsibility Centre Management theory and Accounting model of double entry. It compared principals’ performance when grouped as boarding and day SDA secondary schools. The eighty respondents included five principals, five registrars, five business managers, and sixty five teachers. Data was collected through questionnaires and analyzed using Statistical Package of Social Sciences. The study found out that principals follow accounting and budgeting procedures. While there was a significant difference in principals’ financial management performance in accounting, there was no statistically significant difference in budgeting in boarding and day schools. The study concluded that principals are effective in financial management performance in SDA secondary schools and recommended that this be maintained by providing in-service training regularly. It was suggested that this study be replicated elsewhere using a different methodology for comparison of results.
