It specifically focused on; examining the relationship between budget monitoring and financial performance of commercial banks, examining the relationship between budget planning and financial performance of commercial banks, and examining the relationship between budget participation and financial performance of commercial banks.The study was carried out using a cross-sectional research design where analytical research approach was also used. The data was collected using questionnaires and interviews and during data collection, simple random sampling and purposive sampling methods were used. A sample size of 41 respondents who are employees of NCBA Bank was also used in the study although 33 of these responded to the questionnaires. The study findings established that budget monitoring, budget planning, and budget participation significantly enhance financial performance at NCBA Bank. Budget monitoring showed a positive relationship with financial performance (r = .565**, p < .01) and a positive regression influence (β = 0.100, t = 1.587, p = 0.000). Budget planning had the most significant correlation (r = .776**,p < .01) and highest regression impact (β = 0.459, t = 3.514, p = 0.000). Budget participation had a significantly positive correlation (r = .672**, p < .01) and a positive regression impact (β = 0.284,t = 1.862, p = 0.000), demonstrating that good budget planning and employee participation lead to better results. The recommendations for NCBA Bank included the need to adopt a more strategic approach to change management, enhance communication mechanisms, continuously train and provide technical assistance, involve key players, and deal effectively with resistance to change.These actions will enhance employee competence, stakeholder commitment, system acceptance,and the effective adoption and implementation of e-procurement systems improve the commercial bank's financial performance and operational feasibilityenDissertation
