Abstract: Accounting techniques have evolved over the years due to the advancement in technology. New and smarter ways of accounting practices are discovered, of which one of the most recent discovery is the cloud accounting. This study examined the effect of cloud accounting on financial information quality of selected firms in Nigeria. Cross-sectional survey research design was employed for this study, targeted population of this study is heterogeneous as it covers professional accountants, auditors and information technology experts across various fields. This study therefore used the assumptions of Taro Yamane (1967) to adopt the population of 400 respondents for the purpose of this study. The study covers Lagos state metropolis because it’s highly dominated with commercial activities and host the head office of most companies in Nigeria. Data was obtained from primary sources through the administration of a well-structured questionnaire to the respondents. The reliability and validity of the research instrument was tested using the Crombach’s Alpha test and content validity test respectively. Data collected were analysed using descriptive and Ordinary Least Square (OLS) regression. The three hypotheses raised for the study were accepted with a high and positive relationship indicating that cloud accounting technique is able to positively and significantly influence data storage(β = 0.828, P = .001
