Background of the Study
Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in Sokoto South LGA play a pivotal role in community development, poverty alleviation, and humanitarian aid. A significant portion of their funding is sourced from donors, both international and local. However, many NGOs face challenges in securing and maintaining donor funding, often due to inadequate financial reporting practices. Donors require transparency, accountability, and clear financial disclosures to ensure that their funds are being used efficiently. This study aims to evaluate the relationship between financial reporting and donor funding in NGOs in Sokoto South LGA and explore how effective reporting practices can enhance donor trust and attract more funding.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the critical role NGOs play in Sokoto South LGA, many of them struggle to secure consistent donor funding due to poor financial reporting practices. The lack of transparent and detailed financial reports undermines donor confidence and, in some cases, results in funding cuts or the withdrawal of financial support. This study seeks to investigate the relationship between financial reporting practices and donor funding, and how improvements in financial transparency can increase the likelihood of receiving and retaining donor support.
Aim and Objectives of the Study
1. To assess the financial reporting practices of NGOs in Sokoto South LGA.
2. To examine the relationship between financial reporting practices and donor funding in these NGOs.
3. To recommend strategies for improving financial reporting to increase donor trust and funding.
Research Questions
1. What are the financial reporting practices of NGOs in Sokoto South LGA?
2. How do financial reporting practices affect the ability of NGOs to secure donor funding?
3. What improvements can be made in the financial reporting practices of NGOs to attract more donor funding?
Research Hypotheses
1. H₀: There is no significant relationship between financial reporting practices and donor funding in NGOs in Sokoto South LGA.
2. H₀: Improved financial reporting does not significantly increase the chances of securing donor funding for NGOs in Sokoto South LGA.
3. H₀: Financial transparency does not significantly influence donor trust in NGOs operating in Sokoto South LGA.
Significance of the Study
This study will provide insights into how financial reporting practices influence donor funding and help NGOs understand the importance of transparency and accountability in attracting and retaining donor support. The findings will offer actionable recommendations to improve financial management, thereby increasing the flow of donor funding to NGOs in Sokoto South LGA.
Scope and Limitation of the Study
The study will focus on NGOs operating in Sokoto South LGA and will examine their financial reporting practices and their correlation with donor funding. Limitations may include difficulty in accessing proprietary financial data from NGOs and the generalizability of the findings to NGOs in other regions.
