ABSTRACT

The study is an attempt to discern the comparative  evaluation  of impact of accounting   and  auditing   practices   in  non-profit   making   organizations. Although the study views the entire non-profit making organization  at large, particular  emphasis   is   on  some  selected   religious    organizations,    The Assemblies  of God Church,   Living  Apostolic  Ministry  Inc,  and Living Word Ministries  Inc,   Aba,   and  Umuahia  Abia  State.  The  study  observed  that notwithstanding  the legal and statutory function  of accounting  and auditing practices which is to examine and scrutinize the documents  for accounting and transparency,  yet there has been a reported case of lack of accounting and  auditing  practices   in  non-profit  organizations.    The  Chi-square   (X2) statistical   tool  was   used  to  test  this    hypothesis   questionnaires   were distributed  to the staff and members  of Assemblies   of God  Church  (AG), Living Word  Ministry  (LAM),   and Living  Word  Ministries(LWM)    all   in  Aba and Umuahia,   Abia  State,   out of which 48 were  completed  and  returned. The study found out that lack of accounting  and  auditing  practices  has not significantly affected the performance of non-profit organizations.  The study found out that lack of accounting and auditing  practices in non-profit entities has hampered  internal  control  and has also increase  issues  of fraud  and other  sharp  practices.   In  view  of these  findings,   the  study  made  some recommendations.  There  is  need for accounting  and auditing   practices  in non-profit  making organization  specifically in  religious   organizations.
