The Auditor-General lamented that his office was incapacitated from functioning effectively and efficiently in detecting mismanagement...

Mr Aghughu said that auditing of consolidated financial statements of the federal government on yearly basis would be expeditiously carried out as made available by the office of the Accountant-General of the Federation.

“You will recall that on March 25, the Audit of Consolidated Financial Statement of the Federal Government for the 2018 was submitted to this office for the required investigation of queries raised in it by the National Assembly.He, however, decried that his office was not working the way it should due to a myriad of factors crippling its operations and invariably giving room for all forms of financial infractions across the various MDAs.

He said the problem in incapacitating optimal functionality of the office’s mandate as far as thorough and appropriate auditing of financial statements of the MDAs were concerned, was gross underfunding which was telling much on their efficiency. “For example, the office is understaffed but there is no money for recruitment. Imagine many of our state offices having just two or three staff. Auditing is done by a team not by an individual,” he said.
