Background of the Study
Education is a fundamental sector that requires significant investment in infrastructure, teaching resources, and personnel to promote social and economic development. In Borno State, the impact of insurgency has severely disrupted education, and Gwoza LGA has been one of the most affected areas. Public sector accounting standards play a crucial role in managing funds for education projects, ensuring that resources are allocated appropriately and used efficiently.
This study evaluates the impact of public sector accounting standards on the implementation of education projects in Gwoza LGA. It assesses whether the adherence to established accounting standards contributes to the successful delivery of education projects and the improvement of the local education system.
Statement of the Problem
In Gwoza LGA, the education sector faces challenges in effectively utilizing funds allocated for projects due to weak public sector accounting standards, inadequate monitoring mechanisms, and inefficiencies in fund allocation. This has resulted in incomplete projects, poorly executed programs, and a lack of infrastructure development. The study seeks to evaluate the role of public sector accounting standards in ensuring that education funds are used efficiently and that projects are implemented effectively.
