Background of the Study
Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) play a significant role in addressing social, economic, and environmental challenges in local communities, including Karu Local Government Area. NGOs rely heavily on donor funding and grants to implement projects that benefit the community. However, ensuring the effective use of these funds is crucial, which is where auditing comes in. Auditors evaluate the financial operations of NGOs, ensuring that funds are allocated and spent properly, and that the projects are implemented according to the set goals and objectives. This study explores the role of auditing in monitoring NGO projects in Karu Local Government Area, focusing on how auditing can contribute to transparency, accountability, and efficient resource utilization.

While NGOs contribute significantly to the development of local communities, there are concerns about the management of donor funds, misuse of resources, and lack of transparency in project implementation. In Karu Local Government Area, some NGOs have faced challenges related to inadequate financial oversight, weak internal controls, and ineffective monitoring mechanisms. This study seeks to examine how auditing practices can enhance the accountability and transparency of NGO projects in the area, ensuring that donor funds are used efficiently and for their intended purposes.
