ABSTRACT
The study investigated the role
of statutory auditors in fraud control and investigation in government owned
establishment and therefore hypothesized that statutory auditor's role has no
significant effect on minimization of errors in government establishment in
Nigeria. The study adopted primary data through the administration of
structured questionnaire and used the ordinary least squares based simple
regression to estimate the relationship of the variables with a population of
25 and sample size of 23. It was found that the role of statutory auditor has
significant effect on minimization of error at 3.5% level of significance and
therefore concludes that role of statutory auditor has significant effect in
fraud control and investigation in Government owned establishment. The study
therefore recommends that Federal pay office in Umuahia should always
acknowledge statutory auditors in fraud control and investigation and
management should provide training and staff development programmes for
effective internal control.
