Background of the Study

Budgetary control is a vital management tool used to plan, monitor, and control financial activities within organizations. It involves setting financial targets, allocating resources, and evaluating performance against predefined budgets. Cooperative societies, which are pivotal in promoting economic development and improving the livelihoods of their members, rely on budgetary control to ensure proper resource allocation and financial accountability.

In Nigeria, cooperative societies play a significant role in rural development by providing credit facilities, agricultural support, and investment opportunities. However, despite their importance, many cooperative societies struggle with implementing effective budgetary control mechanisms. These challenges are often attributed to limited managerial expertise, inadequate training, poor record-keeping practices, and a lack of technological tools.

In Sardauna Local Government Area, cooperative societies face unique challenges due to the area's socio-economic dynamics, including limited access to financial resources and inadequate regulatory oversight. Consequently, the absence of effective budgetary control systems leads to financial mismanagement, reduced transparency, and diminished trust among members.

This study explores the challenges faced by cooperative societies in implementing budgetary control measures, highlighting their implications for financial sustainability and organizational efficiency.

Cooperative societies in Sardauna Local Government Area encounter significant difficulties in implementing budgetary control systems, resulting in financial inefficiencies and reduced accountability.
