| dc.description.abstract | The study sought to examine the influence
of credit risk on the value of the firm
among SACCOs in Kenya. Positivistic
epistemological position was adopted in
this study. The study adopted descriptive
and causal research designs. The targeted
population was 164 SACCOs licensed by
Sacco Societies Regulatory Authority. A
sample size of 115 respondents was
selected using stratified random sampling
technique. The study utilized secondary
data obtained from organization’s
published financial statements. Data was
analysed using descriptive statistics while
inferential data analysis was conducted
using Pearson correlation coefficient and
panel data regression model. The study
results showed that value of the firm was
negatively correlated with credit risk. The
results further revealed that credit risk had
an insignificant negative effect on value of
the firm as shown by the coefficient of -
0.06402 and a P-value of 0.284. Since,
credit risk had a negative effect on value
of SACCOs, the study recommended that
the management should control their credit
risk by reducing non-performing loans.
However, since the effect was not
significant, the study recommended that
the management should economically
justify credit management efforts. The
results of the study would assist SACCO
management, ministry of Industry, Trade
and Co-operatives and agencies such as
Sacco Societies Regulatory Authority,
investors as well as researchers and
scholars. | en_US |
