The central idea of this study was to find out the Role of the Accountant with Respect to Accountability, Probity and Transparency in the federal civil service, using the federal ministry of education South East Zone as a case study. In the literature review, a lot of government publications and other related materials were consulted. This review was able to define who a public accountant is as we1 as their role and problems. A public accountant is a person or employee in the public sector who works in the accounts division of any government organization which covers ministry and extra- ministerial department including parastatals at both state and federal levels.
