ABSTRACT
This research project is centered on the "Evaluation of
government internal auditing system with respect to accountability and
transparency in government parastatals." A review of related literature
was extensively made in Chapter Two of the work to cover the relevant aspects
of government internal auditing system with respect to the accountability and transparency
of government ministries and departments. In this regard, the empirical studies
carried out. by others were collated to comprehensively address government
internal auditing system. The population sample size of the study is 286 which
is fully representative of the research population. The instruments used in
data collection for the purpose of this study comprised the following: the
questionnaire, personal interview, observations, textbooks, seminar papers,
articles and the internet. Two of the findings made from the study are stated
thus: (1) There is ineffective and inefficient government internal auditing
system in Nigeria which is partly occasioned by lack of accountability and
transparency of public sector officials. (2) The internal control system in
government parastatals is extremely poor; this syndrome has caused little or no
examination of the activities of government ministries and departments. In
addition, two of the recommendations advanced for the purpose of improving
government internal auditing system in Nigeria are noted as follows: (1)
Seasoned and experienced certified public accountants should be engaged in the
service of public sector in order to effect thorough evaluation of the
effectiveness and efficiency of the internal auditing system of government
ministries and departments from time to time. (2) External certified public
accountants should also be contracted occasionally, without the knowledge of
government internal auditors, to carry out unannounced validation of the
internal auditing system of government parastatals; this step will help to
reposition the audit of the financial operations of the government
