Background of the Study
Effective budget execution is critical for ensuring that public funds are allocated and spent in accordance with government priorities. In Dukku Local Government Area, budgetary controls and proper monitoring mechanisms are crucial for achieving development goals. Auditing plays a central role in monitoring budget execution by providing an independent assessment of how funds are used, ensuring compliance with budgetary allocations, and identifying any deviations from the approved budget. This study investigates the role of auditing in monitoring budget execution within Dukku Local Government Area and evaluates how auditing practices can improve financial management and accountability.
