ABSTRACT
Every commercial bank targets the attainment of its desired objectives. They therefore aim towards efficiency and proper effectiveness in conducting its affairs. However, the level of this efficiency and effectiveness of any bank or the extent to which it is able to achieve its desired goals depends to a large extent on the quality of the available accounting information and on how the bank utilizes the available information. Commercial banks might not really understand the impact of adequate accounting information in the management of their portfolios until probably they undermine the use of it in their bank. Inadequate or lack of accounting information exposes or leaves portfolio management to certain problems such as: Malfunctioning and wrong decision making by managers in the management of risks arising from the portfolios. High occurrence of factors that may result to high incidence of losses instead of expected profits where proper accounting information on portfolio management is not on hand. The enhancement in portfolio management of any commercial bank can be made by the standard or the effectiveness of the accounting information as well as the policies implemented by the management of the bank
