Initially the researcher wanted to use all of the subjectsto be the respondents of the study. However, out of the total 48 small business people contacted,only 42 people completed and returned the questionnaires. The collected data was then analyzedusing Moderating Regression Analysis (RMA).The resulting model and the test of significance found that the internal factors significantlyinfluencing the use of accounting information in small businesses were owners’, their levels ofeducation, training, and employees’ competence. The external factors, i.e. government policies,which served as a moderate variable in this study, were negligible because these factors proved tobecome insignificant stimulants that influenced the internal factors in the utilization of accountinginformation.]]>
