This study examines the extent to which financial resource capability impacts claims management in the Nigerian insurance industry and also attempts to determine if this process is moderated by information technology. Given the numerous litigations arising from claims default, the Nigerian insurance sector has earned itself a bad reputation with the consequent customer apathy. However, it is also noteworthy that most of these insurance companies do not appear to possess the financial capacity to meet claims obligations as they arise, perhaps, due to low capitalisation, poor risk assessment and solvency constraints. The research is a quantitative design that utilises the survey strategy. It is predicated on a philosophical foundation of positivism and ontological orientation of objectivism. 17 insurance companies were included in the study using the stratified sampling technique. 280 questionnaires were distributed to the 17 sampled companies out of which 235 were returned and found usable for the study. Data was analysed using the Andy Hayes Process v3.3 for regression. Findings from the study revealed that financial resources and information technology have statistically significant relationship with claims management but the relationship between financial resources and claims management is not significantly moderated by information technology.
