Background of the Study

Revenue generation is one of the key objectives of any local government authority, including Gwer West Local Government Area (LGA). The effectiveness of revenue collection and utilization often depends on the management of financial resources, which is where cost accounting practices come in. Cost accounting provides valuable tools for budgeting, cost allocation, and financial analysis, helping local governments optimize their resource use and increase revenue generation. By tracking costs associated with various projects and services, cost accounting techniques can identify areas where revenue can be increased, costs minimized, and overall financial efficiency improved (Garrison & Noreen, 2003).

This study seeks to assess the impact of cost accounting practices on revenue generation in Gwer West LGA, focusing on how financial practices affect the ability of the local government to generate, allocate, and manage funds effectively.

Statement of the Problem

Despite the revenue-generating potential of Gwer West LGA, there are challenges related to mismanagement, inefficiency, and lack of proper tracking of revenue-related expenses. Without the application of proper cost accounting techniques, the local government may be losing opportunities to enhance its revenue generation capabilities. This study investigates the relationship between cost accounting practices and revenue generation in Gwer West LGA.
