Background of the Study
Cooperative societies are vital to the economic development of many communities, especially in rural areas. They help members access credit, promote savings, and provide support for agricultural and small-scale business ventures. However, resource mismanagement, fraud, and lack of accountability are significant challenges faced by many cooperative societies. Internal auditing plays a crucial role in ensuring that cooperative societies' resources are efficiently managed and that financial reports are accurate. This study examines the effectiveness of internal auditing in monitoring resources within cooperative societies, aiming to enhance resource management, accountability, and financial transparency.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the importance of cooperative societies, many still face issues of financial mismanagement, fraud, and inadequate resource allocation. Internal auditing is supposed to address these issues, but its effectiveness often remains limited due to challenges such as insufficient staff, lack of training, and weak enforcement of audit recommendations. This study seeks to investigate the role of internal auditing in monitoring cooperative societies' resources and its effectiveness in ensuring financial accountability and transparency.
