Background of the Study
Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) play a crucial role in driving development and providing essential services in communities, particularly in areas with limited governmental presence. However, the financial management of NGOs is often subject to scrutiny, given the reliance on donor funds and grants. To ensure accountability and transparency in the use of resources, external auditing is a critical practice. In Balanga Local Government Area, the effectiveness of external auditing in monitoring NGO resources has been questioned due to reported cases of financial mismanagement and inefficiency in resource allocation. This study will evaluate how external audits contribute to ensuring that NGO resources are managed effectively.

The lack of stringent auditing processes has resulted in resource misallocation, fraud, and inefficiencies. External auditing is often considered a mechanism to promote transparency and accountability, but its effectiveness in Balanga remains unclear. This study aims to assess how external auditing impacts the management of NGO resources in the area.
