Background of the Study
Revenue collection is a critical function of local government authorities, including Anka Local Government Area (LGA). Cost accounting plays a significant role in managing and optimizing revenue collection by providing tools for accurate tracking, assessment, and allocation of funds. By using cost accounting practices such as cost allocation and budget tracking, local governments can minimize revenue leakage, improve collection efficiency, and ensure better financial planning (Loughran, 2010). However, in Anka LGA, there is a need to evaluate the effectiveness of cost accounting practices in enhancing revenue collection processes.
This study aims to assess the role of cost accounting in improving revenue collection practices in Anka LGA.
Statement of the Problem
Anka LGA faces difficulties in maximizing its revenue collection due to inefficiencies in tracking and managing revenue-related expenditures.
