Abstract

The creation of local government as authorized by the 1999 constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is structured to provide for the needs of the people at the grass root level and bring development to all communities in the nation.  This task requires the funds which are both generated from the allocation collected from the federal and state government and self-generated revenue by each local government. The 1999 constitution and other relevant financial laws had also make provision for the accounting system, identifying the process of keeping proper records and account for different revenue and expenditure which the local government realized and incurred respectively. The need to identify the role of internal auditing as an effective management control system in the local government to create effective management to the member of the public has led to this research.

            The research work consists of five chapters which include introduction, literature review, research methodology, data analysis and presentation and the summary, conclusion and recommendation. For this research work, the staff of ijebu-ode local government is used as a case study and as sample size of 55 members were randomly selected and 55 copies of questionnaire were distributed to them, 50 questionnaire were recovered out of the 55 copies given to the selected staffs and was analyzed using simple percentage and the hypothesis was tested using Pearson product movement correlation method.

            The result of analysis shows that internal auditing helps in promoting effective management control and transparency of the local government in the local government. Also it was discovered that internal audit staff lacks proper independence in conducting their duties, they do not go for training regularly and they are understaffed.

            To promote the role of internal auditing as an effective management control system in the local government recommendation were made that the internal audit department requires additional staff, they should be given required level of independence, and they should be allowed to go for training regularly and so on.
