Background of the Study
International auditing standards are critical for ensuring the transparency and reliability of financial reporting, particularly in the public sector. The adoption of these standards helps improve financial governance, increase public trust, and enhance the quality of audits. However, implementing international auditing standards in local government areas, such as Katsina-Ala Local Government Area, often faces significant challenges. These challenges include insufficient capacity within local auditing departments, inadequate training, and resistance to adopting global best practices. This study explores the challenges faced in implementing international auditing standards in Katsina-Ala and assesses their impact on financial accountability and transparency.
