Background of the Study
Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) is a critical source of funding for local governments, enabling them to finance developmental projects and deliver essential services. Governmental accounting practices ensure proper management of IGR by promoting transparency, accountability, and efficiency in revenue collection and utilization. In Toto Local Government Area (LGA), Nasarawa State, maximizing IGR has been a persistent challenge due to weak financial management systems, corruption, and tax evasion. This study explores how governmental accounting practices affect IGR and identifies strategies to enhance revenue generation in Toto LGA.
