his study seeks to establish whether financial statements from T organizations and notable parastatals in Cameroon were available on time, and if not, whether the delay was significant. Using the Normal Approximation rule, it was possible to establish or predict that parastatals delayed in releasing financial statements. The results may led to the conclusion that information provided by financial statements from Cameroonian parastatals was no longer relevant at the time it was available ; as such, decisions made on the basis of that information, may be misguiding with resultant disastrous implications on the economy and society. It was therefore recommended that, the government parastatals and other organisations should ensure timely release of relevant information for effective and efficient decision making.
