The study focuses on how accounting data may be used in management decision-making and there are any obstacles that managers encounter while making decisions. The study also aimed to figure out how accounting data influences managerial decisions. A descriptive survey research approach was used in this study. Local Commercial Banks in Juba, South Sudan, were used for the research. A total of 80 people were selected as part of the sample. The data for the study was obtained using both primary and secondary data sources. Questionnaires and interviews were the primary data collecting methods. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS 16.0) software was used to analyze the data, with the “distribution tables displaying Frequencies, Percentages, and graphs” being used in particular. Tables were used to display the findings.
