Background of the Study
Responsibility Accounting is a management accounting system that helps organizations track the performance of individual units or departments by assigning responsibility for their revenues, costs, and profits. In the public sector, responsibility accounting is increasingly recognized as a tool for improving financial transparency, accountability, and governance. This study will assess the impact of responsibility accounting on public sector transparency in Sokoto and Zamfara States.

Many public sector institutions in Nigeria face issues with financial mismanagement, lack of accountability, and transparency. The adoption of responsibility accounting practices could help mitigate these issues by improving financial oversight and clarifying individual accountability within government agencies.
