ABSTRACT

This study seeks to investigate the determinants of outsourcing of accounting services in small and medium sized businesses. The role of small and medium enterprise (SMEs) in a national economy has been emphasized all over the world as to their contribution to the total productivity and job opportunities (Gunasekaran et al, 1999). Empirical evidence from studies on developed countries may not be as relevant to developing countries such as Kenya (Mashayekhi and Mashayekh, 2008).  There is limited empirical study in Kenya on determinants of outsourcing accounting services on the growth of SMEs in Kiambu County, this study seek to fill the existing research gap by conducting a study on determinants of outsourcing of accounting services on the growth of SMEs in Kiambu County.
