For this study there are four independent variables: FX policies and procedures, management information system, internal control system, the role of top management and uses financial performance (ROA) as a dependent variable. The researcher employed research analysis tool STATA. Regression analysis was used in the study and the results of the study were presented using tables and graphs.
