Chapter One: Introduction
Background of the Study
Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) play an essential role in social development, providing services in areas such as health, education, and poverty alleviation. Effective cost management is critical for NGOs to achieve their goals and ensure that resources are used efficiently. Cost management practices, including budgeting, cost allocation, and financial monitoring, allow NGOs to maximize their impact while ensuring financial sustainability (Horngren et al., 2012).
In Nguru Local Government Area (LGA), NGOs are crucial in addressing local challenges such as healthcare access and educational opportunities. However, these organizations often face financial constraints, making effective cost management a priority. Drury (2018) highlights that cost management practices, such as cost control, cost allocation, and variance analysis, are essential for NGOs to manage resources efficiently and achieve their objectives. This study examines the effectiveness of cost management practices in NGOs in Nguru LGA, focusing on how these practices contribute to their sustainability and impact.
Statement of the Problem
Many NGOs in Nguru LGA face challenges in effectively managing their finances, leading to underutilized resources and inefficient project implementation. Without robust cost management practices, NGOs struggle to achieve their mission and secure funding for future projects. This study investigates the effectiveness of cost management practices in NGOs in Nguru LGA, examining their role in improving financial control and sustainability.
