Background of the Study
The conflict in northeastern Nigeria has led to a significant rise in the number of internally displaced persons (IDPs), with Borno State being the epicenter of this crisis. Maiduguri LGA, the state capital, is home to thousands of displaced people who rely on government assistance and humanitarian aid for survival. Effective governmental accounting is crucial in ensuring that the funds allocated for IDP support are utilized efficiently, transparently, and effectively.
This study explores the role of governmental accounting in managing funds for internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Maiduguri LGA. It examines how governmental accounting systems ensure that funds allocated for humanitarian relief, rehabilitation, and resettlement are tracked, accounted for, and used to achieve positive outcomes for IDPs.
Statement of the Problem
In Maiduguri LGA, the management of funds allocated to IDP camps often faces challenges, including corruption, misallocation of resources, and inefficiencies in the distribution of humanitarian aid. Governmental accounting systems in place may not be fully effective in monitoring these funds, leading to gaps in accountability and financial mismanagement. This study aims to assess how governmental accounting practices impact the funding of IDP relief efforts and whether improvements in accounting can lead to better outcomes for displaced persons.
Aim and Objectives of the Study
1. To evaluate the impact of governmental accounting on the funding and management of IDP relief efforts in Maiduguri LGA.
