ABSTRACT
In the Nigeria public sector, evidences of fraud,
irregularities, errors and inefficiencies abound. This ugly situation has to a
large extent eroded public confidence in the sector and has called to question
the strengths and adequacies of the internal control mechanisms in these
organizations. No, doubt, a strong internal control system ensures compliance
with applicable laws, policies and regulations, adequate safeguard of assets
and the assurance of proper and accurate reporting of transactions. Consequent
upon the foregoing, the researcher was able to bring to the fore, the benefits
that are derivable from a sound internal control system and the short and
long-run cost implications if it is neglected. The Customary Court of Appeal,
Umuahia was used as a case point in this study, and generalizations drawn from
the organization. The work was divided into five chapters. The first chapter
introduced the topic, the subject matter, stated the problem that necessitated
the study and associated research questions. Three hypotheses were also
formulated in chapter one and was tested in chapter four. Chapter two of the
work highlighted the views of scholars on the subject matter and its
theoretical frame work. Chapter three dealt with the research methodology;
encompassing the design, instrumentation, data collection and analysis
technique. In chapter four, data generated through the instrumentality of the
questionnaire were presented and analyzed using simple percentages and the
Chi-square testing technique. The findings and recommendation of the study were
presented in chapter five. Also, presented in the last chapter are suggestions
for further studies to improve on what the researcher may have achieved. The
researcher accepts every mistake or omission found in this work as hers.
