Abstract

Purpose: The study sought to investigate the effect of liquidity risk management on financial performance of state owned enterprises in Kenya.

Materials and Methods: The study adopted a desktop methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data or that which can be collected without fieldwork. Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resources hence it is often considered a low cost technique as compared to field research, as the main cost is involved in executive's time, telephone charges and directories. Thus, the study relied on already published studies, reports and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through the online journals and library

Results: The results revealed that the studies done had conceptual framework gap. The study also found out that the study had geographical gap because they were not conducted in Kenya and also had different time scope

Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: The study will be significant to state owned enterprises, students, general public and State Corporations Advisory Committee as it will offer contributions from both a theoretical and practical perspective. Regulatory bodies such as SCAC as well as the government can utilize the findings from the study to improve on the framework for policy formulation and regulation. The study also recommends the Commercial and manufacturing state Corporations to adopt efficient strategies to improve financial performance through risk management process.
