The purpose of this study is to Examine and appraise exist in g accounting and fin uncial reporting practices of NGNFPOs, with a view to high light the complains and deviations from the statutory stipulations and accounting standards in trend. It also seeks to understand accounting processes and Financial reporting practices in NGNFPO s and the conditions that sustain or Improve those processes and practices. Furthermore, this stud y provides an insight into the accounting and financial reporting practices of NGNFPOs so as to provide the extent to which NGNFPO meet statutory stipulations, accounting standards, and other legal Requirements. This involved the examination of over 69 annual reports (both audit report s and annual activity reports) o f NGNFPOs and the administration of a survey instrument, documentary analysis and in -depth interview setting . This study employed pragmatic worldviews of research design, which applies to mixed Method research in that inquirers draw liberally from both quantitative and qualitative Assumptions when The number of NGNFPOs in Ethiopia and their activities has multiplied in the past there to four decade but little information exists on how well these organizations report on their performance to their constituents and the general public.

This stud y employed pragmatic worldviews of research design, which applies to mixed method research in that inquirers draw libeberall from both quantitytative and qualitative assumptions when they engage in their research to address research problem. Mixed methods approach, which is believed to mitigate the biases of quantitative and qualitative approaches, is one in which a researcher tends to base knowledge claims on pragmatic grounds employing strategies of inquiry that involve collecting both quantitative and Qualitative data either concurrently, sequentially or transfonnativlly to best understand research problems (Creswell, 2009).enAnalyzingreportingThesis
