Background of the Study
Internal auditing plays a crucial role in ensuring the transparency and accountability of financial operations within both public and private sector organizations. In Edu LGA, public and private sector organizations, including local government bodies and businesses, face challenges related to financial mismanagement, fraud, and inefficiencies. Internal auditors are responsible for assessing financial systems, identifying weaknesses, and recommending improvements to ensure the proper use of resources. This study seeks to explore the role of internal auditing in preventing financial mismanagement in Edu LGA, with a focus on how internal auditors can contribute to improving financial control systems and reducing instances of financial fraud.

Weak internal controls, lack of proper auditing procedures, and inadequate oversight have allowed for the misallocation and misappropriation of funds.

This study will examine the role of internal auditing in preventing financial mismanagement and assess the effectiveness of current auditing practices in Edu LGA.
