In Malumfashi Local Government Area, the adoption of these standards is critical for improving the quality of auditing in local governance and public sector operations. However, local governments often face numerous challenges in aligning their auditing practices with internationally recognized standards, such as lack of expertise, inadequate training, and resource limitations. This study aims to identify the barriers to the successful adoption of IAS in Malumfashi and to explore ways to enhance the implementation of these standards.
