Background of the Study
Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) play a critical role in providing humanitarian aid, social services, and development programs in Biu LGA. Donor funding is a significant source of financial support for these NGOs. However, the management and allocation of donor funds require sound accounting practices to ensure transparency, accountability, and the effective use of resources. Despite the importance of good financial practices, many NGOs struggle with the complexities of accounting, especially in managing donor funds. This study examines how donor funding affects accounting practices in NGOs operating in Biu LGA, focusing on the challenges and opportunities in financial management.
