Background of the Study
Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) play a significant role in social and economic development worldwide. Given the importance of transparency and accountability in their operations, auditing standards are crucial for ensuring the quality of financial reporting. Auditing standards provide a framework for auditors to assess the accuracy, reliability, and compliance of financial statements. The quality of financial reporting in NGOs directly affects their credibility, donor trust, and overall financial management. This study aims to evaluate the impact of auditing standards on the quality of financial reporting in NGOs, focusing on the effectiveness of these standards in improving transparency and accountability.
Statement of the Problem
NGOs often face challenges in maintaining high-quality financial reporting due to inadequate compliance with auditing standards, insufficient resources, and a lack of skilled auditors. As a result, the financial reports of some NGOs may lack accuracy, transparency, and completeness, leading to issues such as fraud, mismanagement of funds, and loss of donor confidence. This study seeks to assess how the application of auditing standards can enhance the quality of financial reporting in NGOs.
