Background of the Study
Financial transparency is essential in ensuring that public funds are allocated and spent responsibly, fostering accountability within government institutions. In Pankshin LGA, where local government spending affects key sectors such as education, healthcare, and infrastructure, the level of transparency can directly influence the public's trust and the efficiency of resource use. This study will explore how financial transparency in Pankshin LGA promotes accountability in local government spending and how this impacts governance and service delivery.
