Background of the Study
Zakkat committees play an essential role in redistributing wealth within communities, particularly in areas such as Gudu LGA. They collect and distribute charitable donations (zakkat) from wealthy individuals to those in need, aiming to reduce poverty and enhance social welfare. The effectiveness of these committees depends heavily on their financial management practices, including how they collect, account for, and distribute funds. Effective financial management ensures that funds are used efficiently, transparently, and in accordance with the donors' wishes. This study will assess the financial management practices of Zakkat committees in Gudu LGA, focusing on their efficiency, transparency, and accountability.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the noble goals of Zakkat committees, many of them face challenges related to financial mismanagement, inadequate record-keeping, and lack of transparency. These issues undermine their ability to achieve their objectives and erode public trust. This study will explore the current financial management practices of Zakkat committees in Gudu LGA, identify gaps, and propose improvements that can help enhance their effectiveness.
Aim and Objectives of the Study
1. To assess the financial management practices of Zakkat committees in Gudu LGA.
2. To evaluate the effectiveness of financial management practices in ensuring the efficient distribution of Zakkat funds.

1. What are the financial management practices employed by Zakkat committees in Gudu LGA?
2. How do these financial management practices influence the efficiency and transparency of Zakkat fund distribution?

Significance of the Study
This study will highlight the importance of sound financial management practices in Zakkat committees and offer recommendations to improve transparency, accountability, and the overall effectiveness of Zakkat fund distribution. The findings will help strengthen the committees' impact on poverty alleviation in Gudu LGA.
