ABSTRACT

Impact of regular auditing on accountability in the public establishment  as the subject of this study stems from the growing tide of fraud and reckless misappropriation of public funds by public officers. To give reliance to this study, three hypotheses were formulated. Method  employed  for  data  collection  where  questionnaires,  informal  interviews  and library research. The study was restricted to Aba North LGA, Abia State. A twenty item questionnaire was distributed among three departments of the LGA. The hypotheses were emphatically tested using the percentage and chi-square statistic (X2). The findings were that there is little or no accountability principles and culture among public officers. In view of the very low standard of financial probity in the public organization, the following recommendations were made, the federal government should resolve to restore sanity by making the submission of audited financial reports by ministries and agencies as well as the state and local government, a condition for disbursing federal (allocation) revenue. This will help instill a culture of accountability in all government  agencies and in the public organization in general.
