ABSTRACT
This study focused on "pension fund accounting in public sector institutions with Micheal Okpara University of Agriculture Umudike as a case study. The major objective of th is study was to appraise pension fund accounting in public sector institutions. 100 copies of well structured questionnaires were administered on sample respondents chosen from the study population in Umudike. Data collected were analyzed and chi-square statistical tool was used in testing the hypothesis on the relationship between lack of funds and payment of retiree's benefits and the inadequate information procedures and documentation in the old pension scheme. From the study, it was found that lack of funds influenced the nonpayment of the retirees benefits under the old pension scheme . It was also discovered that the old pension scheme accounting was inadequately documented and lacked adequate information procedures. Based on the findings, it isb recommended that serving officers in public institutions be exposed to full understanding of the law, policy and act
governing the pension and its pension fund accounting. For reliable pension fund accounting, adequate documentation and information procedures be maintained by public institutions. It is also recommended that there should be enough awareness on the operations of the new pension scheme by public and private stakeholders to the new pension scheme in the drive to achieve proper pension fund accounting in public sector institutions in Nigeria.
