Responsibility accounting is a system in which individual managers are held accountable for the costs and revenues associated with the segments of the organization they control. In the public sector, particularly within local government areas like Bodinga LGA, responsibility accounting can be instrumental in improving transparency, accountability, and overall performance. By holding specific departments or officials accountable for their budgets and financial outcomes, responsibility accounting can ensure that public resources are used efficiently, contributing to improved service delivery.
