This book was released on 2019-03-24 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Policymakers and program managers are continually seeking ways to improve accountability in achieving an entity's mission. A key factor in improving accountability in achieving an entity's mission is to implement an effective internal control system. An effective internal control system helps an entity adapt to shifting environments, evolving demands, changing risks, and new priorities. As programs change and entities strive to improve operational processes and implement new technology, management continually evaluates its internal control system so that it is effective and updated when necessary. Section 3512 (c) and (d) of Title 31 of the United States Code (commonly known as the Federal Managers? Financial Integrity Act (FMFIA)) requires the Comptroller General to issue standards for internal control in the federal government.

This book was released on 2019-02-15 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Academic Paper from the year 2016 in the subject Economics - Finance, grade: Bsc, University of Benin, course: accounting, language: English, abstract: This research work investigates the timeliness of financial reporting in Edo State local governments. The study specifically examines the influence of the size of the local government, technology, complexity and auditor competence in relation to the timeliness of financial reporting in the local government. A total of twenty-four structured questions and eighty questionnaires are used to evaluate respondent’s perceptions. The process of getting financial information from any local government takes time because the users have to wait until the financial accounts are published in the official government gazettes. As a result, there is a possibility of lack of interest in the financial accounts of local government as any potential issues fade with the passage of time if the reporting is overly late or inexplicable, so it will lose its relevance. Some critical issues identified which are responsible for delay in reporting in local government include the current environment of across-the-board budget cuts, over bloated size of the local government, lack of technology advancement, increased number of unqualified staff resources and new accounting standards, poor internal control system, inadequate system to record account for and monitor spending in terms of legislated processes. The findings reveal that the size and the complexity of the local government have significant impact on the timeliness of financial reporting, while auditor competence has no impact on timeliness. It recommends that the local government council in Edo State should ensure that their financial statements are published at the right time of their financial year so that users of the financial statements can have access to their reports. It is concluded that the timely release of a financial report is an essential ingredient for maintaining confidence in the minds of the stakeholders, as the lengths of time in which financial statements are reported to have an impact on the progress of the local council.
