In Jos East Local Government Area (LGA) of Plateau State, internally generated revenue (IGR) serves as a significant source of funding for development projects and public services.

Proper governmental accounting practices can enhance the transparency, accountability, and efficiency required for effective revenue management. This study investigates the impact of governmental accounting on IGR generation in Jos East LGA.
