Findings – The analysis revealed that educational financing management (mean = 3.63) and administrative effectiveness (mean = 3.61) were both in the very high category. The t-test result (t = 6.663; p < 0.001) confirmed a significant positive effect of financing management on administrative effectiveness, with an R² value of 0.526, indicating that 52.6% of administrative effectiveness is influenced by financing management.
Research Implications – This study contributes to educational management literature by demonstrating how transparent and accountable financing governance enhances school administrative effectiveness. Practically, the findings suggest that schools should strengthen budgeting, accounting, and auditing practices to ensure sustainable and effective administrative management.
