This means that a unit change in Financial Controls brings about change in Financial Stability in the Micro Finance Institutions in Rwanda. The study thus rejects the null hypothesis conclude that there is significant relationship between Financial Controls and Financial Stability in the Micro Finance Institutions in Rwanda. Data analysis was descriptive statistics and inferential statistics using Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 24.

The study recommends prudent policy measures on Financial Controls especially Asset management, financial system controls and Capital adequacy.

Government recommends that since all financial services players under MFI adhere to frequent reporting for better increase of financial management and efficient investment decisions.
