ABSTRACT
Local governments in Nigeria are established
for political administrative and service provision purpose. In this work we
look at how government funds are being managed and controlled at local
government levels in Nigeria with particular reference to Umuahia North Local
Government in Abia State, Nigeria. Control is defined as the process of ensuring
that resources are obtained and used effectively and efficiently in tile
accomplishment of organizational goals. In this work the problems are to know
why has the local government has not lived up to its expectations; what are the
causes of those seemingly conspicuous weakness and the challenges of the local
government. Tile objective of this work is to identify the problems facing the
local government accounting officers in achieving on effective management
frequency of auditing and investigation as a tool for fund control ill the
Umuahia North Local Government. In the research methodology the researcher
explain how the research work was actually carried out the method and
procedures adopted in the collections of data which were analyzed in the next
chapter. In this the research her used primary and secondary data in her
analysis and tests. She also applied chi-square (X)2formular in testing of
hypothesis. From the findings of tile researcher, the local government has not
external investment either in real estate or financial estate. After all the
tests, the local government does adhere strictly to budget provisions in its
expenditure of fund, and maintain effective accounting and internal control.
But informal discus proved otherwise. I recommend that tile local government
should increase in their external investment to earned profit and they should have
established their internal control and maintained it.
