Local governments in Nigeria are established for political-administrative and service provision purposes. In this work we look at how government funds are being managed and controlled at local government levels in Nigeria with particular reference to Umuahia N011h Loc.J Government in Abia State, Nigeria. Control is defined as the process of ensuring that resources are obtained and used effectively and efficiently in theaccomplishment of organizational goals. ln this work the problems are to know why has the local government has not lived up to its expectations; what are the causes o[ those seemingly conspicuous weakness and the challenges of the local government. The objective of this work is to identify the problems facing the local government accounting officers in achieving on effective management frequency of auditing and investigation as a tool for fund control in the Umuahia North Local Government. In the research methodology the researcher explain how the research work was actually carried out the method and procedures adopted in the collections of data which were analyzed in the next chapter. In this the researcher used primary and secondary data in her analysis and tests. She also applied chi-square (X)2 formular in testing of hypothesis. From the findings of the researcher, the local government has not external investment either in real estate or financial estate. After all the tests, the local government does adhere strictly to budget provisions in its expenditure or fund, and maintain effective accounting and internal control. But informal discus proved otherwise. I recommend that the local government should increase :n their external investment to earned profit and they should established their internal contro
