Background of the Study
Educational institutions play a vital role in societal development, and financial transparency within these institutions is critical to ensuring that resources are properly allocated to enhance educational outcomes. In Donga Local Government Area, the financial management of educational institutions has been under scrutiny due to concerns about misuse of funds, lack of accountability, and poor financial reporting. Auditing is one of the most effective tools for ensuring financial transparency by providing an independent assessment of an institution's financial statements and operations. This study examines the role of auditing in enhancing financial transparency in educational institutions in Donga Local Government Area.
