This article is expected to be of benefit to local governments, central government, public accounting firms, local legislative assemblies, CSOs concerned with the administration of local government, and local communities with an interest in regional development by helping them to obtain a clear picture of how local government financial management is implemented. The findings of the study should also help to provide input on how to design and implement local government financial management applications, deploy competent staff, and compile high-quality, accountable, and transparent local government financial statements.
