This therefore, calls for an effective appraisal of the role of the internal Auditor in budget implementation. To enable the researcher solve this problem, questionnaires were distributed to some ministries in Abia State. Also lata was collected from Ministry of Lands and Survey, Umuahia, Abia State. So from the data collected, the following were identified that most of the Ministries do not have qualified accountants in the audit units. Most of the Internal Audit staff lack experience necessary for an efficient performance of their duties. The simple percentage and chi-square methods were used in analyzing the data collected. From these findings, it can be concluded that the internal audit system is effective. There is a significant relationship between the level of experience of the Internal Auditor and the effectiveness of the internal control system. Based on the lindings, the following recommendations are made, an audit staff with longer year of experience should be employed as well as those with professional qualifications, the reporting responsibility of the Internal Auditors should be raised above what is obtainable presently.
