AUDITING AND ACCOUNTABILITY IN GOVERNMENT PARASTATALS
ABSTRACT
The study centered on “Auditing and Accountability in Government Parastatals with Akwa Ibom State Newspaper Corporation, Uyo as the case study”. The objectives of the study was to examine whether internal auditing ensures control in government parastatals using budgeted expenditure as the independent variable and actual expenditure as the dependent variable. In order to successfully carry out this work, the researcher adopted a descriptive survey design. The population of the study consisted of 33 senior staff of Akwa Ibom State Newspaper Corporation, Uyo from where a sample size of 30 was selected using the Taro Yamane technique. A financial report of Akwa Ibom State Newspaper Corporation from 2009 – 2017 was obtained from the office of the State Auditor-General of Akwa Ibom State and was used to test the hypothesis using Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient. Data were obtained from respondents using a structured questionnaire. Data obtained were analyzed using one sample t – test. Findings revealed that internal audit ensures control in government parastatals. It was concluded that effective internal audit and adequate control measures, should always be the front line policy in an organizational structure for the actualization of its goals and objectives. It was recommended among others that, in order to have full control in government parastatals, government should adopt an effective internal audit system which will help in its operations and functions.
