Background of the Study
Budgetary control is a critical financial management tool used by local governments to ensure the effective allocation and utilization of resources. In Zuru LGA, where infrastructure development, healthcare, and education are vital for community development, effective budgetary control practices can significantly enhance financial performance. Poor budgetary control can lead to overspending, misallocation of resources, and delayed projects, ultimately affecting the financial health and development of the LGA. This study will examine the impact of budgetary control on the financial performance of Zuru LGA, with a focus on how these practices influence the local government’s ability to deliver public services efficiently.
