Background of the Study
Public sector accounting standards play a vital role in ensuring transparency and accountability in government projects. In Irepodun Local Government Area (LGA) of Kwara State, effective project monitoring is crucial for the successful execution of development initiatives. Adherence to public sector accounting standards facilitates accurate reporting, reduces the risk of mismanagement, and enhances oversight. However, challenges such as inadequate training, non-compliance, and corruption have hindered project monitoring efforts in Irepodun LGA.
