Accounting and management in their perspective are interesting fields of study that have permitted all aspects of human endeavour. This is because as a social process according to E.F.L Brech, “it entails responsibilities for an effective planning and regulations of operations of an enterprise in fulfillment of a given purpose or task”
Such responsibilities involves:
According to Eneje B.C (2001) “Accounting is a discipline concerned with the recording, analysis and forecasting of income and wealth of business and other entities” it is a system of reporting management activity. Its process in management activity so as to provide means (true and fair) for making intelligent business decisions.
Anderson stated that “management is the directing ,controlling, organization and staffing of an industrial enterprise or organization to achieve specified objectives in the most economical ways”
Management therefore requires accounting information for purpose of
ii. Choosing among alternatives
iii. Making policy decisions
The manger is today faced with the problem of information system, which measures the results of operations in order to evaluate performance and plan future strategies.
The concept of accounting and management as it relates to large scale industries or corporations differ from the accounting and management in small scale in industries.
The difference arise from the needs of managers and the scope of government interference in the form of laws and they raise funds, their areas of expenditure as well as staff management process are quite from those of large scale industries and government establishments.
Small scale industries raise funds through personal savings, ploughed- back profits, trade credits and trade bills, back loans which may be short- term or long term, while large industries raise funds through issuance of shares long term loans, scale of bonds, debentures, depreciation and provision etc.
This research work is geared towards appraising the problems of effective accounting and management of these small-scale industries in general and using Rancco foods and packaging Nigeria limited, Enugu. To this end, it is also aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of the managers coming with the problems and making possible recommendations as solution for efficient management of human and material resources available to the firm.
1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Various small scale industries have ways of accounting and management of material and human resources.
Management and proper accounting system are the life wire of any organization whether small or big.
The most teething problem facing small scale industries is the indifferences in the attitude of financial houses and financial risk involued in sourcing and inveating funds obtained and the high degree of business uncertainty.
Hence the outary of many small business managers and proprietors of small scale industries for funds and possible ways of improving the performance level of their small scale industries so as to achieve the overall aim of entering into the business
It is against this background that this research tends to find out the problems facing small scale industries within their management and accounting profile as well as suggesting viable solutions that will help to improve the performance level for a positive feedback to the investors using Rannco foods and packaging Nig. Ltd. Enugu.
The aim and objectives of the study are geared towards finding out among others the following:

In this way, we shall be contributing to academic knowledge and at the same time, assisting various small scale industries in Nigeria to assess their levels of performance
This will also substantiate the ability of Nigerian based managers to tackle teething business problems.
Moreover, other intending investors will be assisted in solving many of their business problems to ensure self reliance as well as reducing unemployment.
The effectiveness and efficiency of any industry depends on how practicable the accounting and management process are operated in its various department.
This development is important considering the fact that for a good planning and controlling system to apply the efficient allocation of funds. However, there are always deviations from this arrangement and this spells out the doom of the industry. This deviation is usually caused by series of problems.
This issue will therefore be view in this research work. Consequently, findings and recommendations to be made thereafter will help in solving some of these accounting and management problems of the small scale industries. It is believed that the continuous cry for funds and the problem of financial mismanagement and poor humans relations among managers and subordinates within the organizational chart always observed in the small scale industries originate from the fact that accounting and management practices are not given their proper place in these industries.
