Background of the Study
Responsibility accounting is a system that assigns accountability for financial results to specific managers or departments within an organization. In local government settings, responsibility accounting can promote financial transparency by clearly delineating financial responsibilities and performance measures. Argungu LGA, known for its agricultural activities and cultural events, could benefit from improved financial transparency through the application of responsibility accounting. This study will evaluate the impact of responsibility accounting on financial transparency and the overall financial performance of Argungu LGA.
