Background of the Study
External auditing plays a significant role in enhancing the integrity and transparency of budgetary controls in local government areas. In Kazaure Local Government Area, effective budgetary control is essential for ensuring that allocated public funds are used for their intended purposes, and that financial records are accurate and reliable. External auditors are entrusted with evaluating the financial management systems and procedures, providing an independent assessment of the budgetary processes. Their role is crucial in identifying discrepancies, inefficiencies, or instances of financial mismanagement that could undermine the local government’s fiscal health. This study seeks to evaluate the impact of external auditing on budgetary controls in Kazaure Local Government Area, focusing on its contribution to improving financial oversight and accountability.
