Background of the Study
The health sector in rural areas, particularly in Kaltungo Local Government Area, faces numerous challenges that hinder effective financial management and transparency. Health facilities in these regions often operate under resource constraints, making it difficult to ensure proper financial controls and accountability. Auditing plays a critical role in identifying inefficiencies, misappropriations, and financial mismanagement in such facilities. However, conducting audits in rural health facilities presents unique challenges, including limited access to records, lack of qualified auditing personnel, and inadequate infrastructure. This study aims to explore the specific challenges faced in conducting audits in rural health facilities in Kaltungo Local Government Area and propose solutions for improving audit practices.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the critical role of auditing in enhancing financial accountability, health facilities in Kaltungo Local Government Area face several challenges that hinder the effective execution of audits. These challenges include poor documentation of financial transactions, inadequate knowledge of auditing standards among health facility staff, and a lack of auditing resources. As a result, auditing in rural health facilities remains largely ineffective, leading to financial mismanagement and lack of accountability. This study seeks to identify these challenges and evaluate their impact on the effectiveness of audits in improving financial practices.
