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.
