Introduction: This article presents the results of a research aimed at evaluating the financial performance of small and medium-sized enterprises in the dairy processing industry in Colombia during the period 2014-2019. Methodology: using as a methodology the analysis of accounting and value management inductors that measure their growth, efficiency, efficacy and effectiveness.
Results: The study revealed that, on average, the SME in this industry achieves an accounting performance in the six-year period, while the medium-sized enterprise reaches it higher, as this one is more effective in the management of costs and expenses, even though it is not that efficient in the use of assets, nor the one that uses a higher financial leverage. Similarly, the SME destroys
economic value added (EVA) because the cost of financial resources is higher than the return on net operating assets, while in the medium-sized enterprise this difference is smaller.
