Financial accountability is crucial for the effective management of public funds, particularly in local government areas like Ganduje LGA. Community trust in government institutions is built on transparency, integrity, and responsible financial management. In Ganduje LGA, the proper allocation and utilization of public funds can significantly enhance public trust in the local government and foster community development. However, issues like mismanagement of funds, corruption, and lack of transparency have led to diminished trust in government institutions. This study aims to assess how financial accountability in local government practices can strengthen community trust in Ganduje LGA.
