ABSTRACT
This project is poised to x-raying the degree of “the role
of financial management in a corporate organization”. The main aim of
every business is profit maximization. Care must therefore be taken to
ensure that available finance for a business is well managed. This role
is left in the hands of financial manager. In conducting the
research on this topic, the researcher wishes to visit the Enugu office
of the NICON insurance corporation NICON PLC and administer
questionnaire to the Zonal Director and other top ranked workers in the
corporation in a bid to collect proper information. It is purely on
oral interview, after which critical analysis of data follows.
Regrettably certain factors will tend to limit research for this
information. Resources are scarce to meet up with transportation
expenses to various part of the country for information. Lectures will
be going on in the class, making it impossible for the researcher to go
out every time. In conclusion, the researcher will suggest that
corporate organizations in Nigeria will be compared to those in advanced
countries if the finance available to them are managed well.
