Background of the Study
Rural development projects are critical to improving infrastructure, education, healthcare, and economic opportunities in underserved areas. In Karu Local Government Area, these projects are pivotal in addressing rural poverty and inequality. However, the success of rural development initiatives often depends on the effective management of financial resources, which requires sound cost accounting practices.
Cost accounting involves tracking, analyzing, and reporting costs to enhance decision-making and resource allocation. In rural development projects, these practices help stakeholders monitor budgets, reduce wastage, and ensure funds are utilized effectively. Despite these benefits, rural development projects in Karu face challenges such as financial inefficiencies, lack of transparency, and limited adoption of cost accounting techniques. This study investigates the cost accounting practices employed in rural development projects and their impact on project outcomes in Karu Local Government Area.
