The study objectives were (i) To examine the extent to which assets controls predict the performance of agricultural SMEs in Mbale district; (ii) To establish the extent to which financial controls predict the performance of agricultural SMEs in Mbale district; (iii) To assess the extent to which compliance controls predict the performance of agricultural SMEs in Mbale district; The study was conducted through a case study on agricultural SMEs in Mbale District. The results of multiple regression analysis between assets control and SME performance noted an adjusted R2 value of 0.194 implying that generally 19% of total variability in SME performance is explained by assets control mechanisms; while the analysis between financial control and SME performance showed an adjusted R2 value of 0.097 implying that generally 9.7% of total variability in SME performance is explained by financial control mechanisms and an adjusted R2 value of 0.131 between compliance control and SME performance implying that generally 13.1% of total variability in SME performance is explained by compliance control mechanisms. The conclusion was that generally, there is a weak positive correlation between internal control systems and the performance of Agricultural SMEs in Eastern Uganda. The weak prediction reflects the reality that there were other factors that influenced the performance of agricultural SMEs in Eastern Uganda.
