    The study examined the effects of corporate financing and risk management in the banking sector in East Africa during and Post Covid-19 tapping on evidence from the Kabale district in Uganda. It was guided by specific objectives, the effect of Bonds on risk management in the banking sector during and post COVID-19, the effect of treasury bills on risk management in the banking sector during and post COVID-19, and the effect of debt management on risk management in the banking sector during and post COVID-19. A descriptive research design was adopted in this research. Both primary and secondary data were used in this study. The population of the study was 97 technical staff. Purposive and random sampling techniques were applied in the study. Data was collected from 78 staff of selected commercial banks in the Kabale district using a structured questionnaire. Both correlation and regression analysis were used. The study revealed that the board of directors set strategies on bond issuance and were effectively communicated within the bank in the form of policies and procedures by the top management (M =4.2, SD = 0.34). The findings showed that the bank has set in place principles of short-term crediting (M = 4.6, SD = 0.32). The bank undertakes regular monitoring of the total value of gross daily payments made and received (M = 4.8, SD = 0.18). Involves identification of existing sources of treasury bills as well as treasury bills that may arise from new business products or activities (M = 4.7, SD = 0.30). The average lessons undertaken was (M = 4.3, SD = 0.13). Debt management was also implemented by the banking sector. It was reported that the debt management efforts of the bank were supported by senior Management (M = 4.2, SD = 0.42). It was also revealed that the management efforts of the institution were well communicated to them (M = 4.2, SD = 0.18). There is a need to set up strong structures for the management of corporate financing in order to enhance risk management in the banking sector

    The Internal Control System and the Performance of Financial Institutions in Uganda
    (East African Nature and Science Organization, 2023-04-24) Mpora, Eliab Byamukama; Hagumimana, Frank; Omweno, N. Enock
    Internal control systems and the performance of financial institutions have received much attention in recent times owing to the increased recognition accorded to internal control systems as a source of financial performance. Researchers and practitioners have been increasingly interested in striving to understand how these two notions can be harnessed in order to attain a firm’s success. The aim of the study was to assess the internal control system and the performance of financial institutions in Uganda. The study was guided by specific objectives, which include establishing the relationship between the internal control system and the performance of financial institutions and finding out the relationship between corporative governance and firm performance. A mixed research design was applied to achieve the set objectives utilising both quantitative and qualitative approaches. Using simple random and purposive sampling techniques, a total of 118 respondents were selected to participate in the study. There is a significant positive correlation between the internal control system and firm performance (r = .407; p< 0.01), meaning an increased internal control system in Uganda’s financial institutions is associated with positive firm performance. There is a significant positive correlation between corporate governance and financial performance (r = .649; p< 0.01). This implies that as the level of corporate governance improves, the financial performance of the company tends to improve as well. Thus, financial firms in Uganda should endeavour and put in place functional internal control systems if they are to realise better institutional performance
