These chapter laid emphasis in the whole work make recommendations and conclusions and finally draw a conclusion.

5.2 Summary Of Findings

The study should that despite the mechanism installed in the local government to ensure sound financial management the rate of corruption, is going at a geometric progression.

A look at the corruption in the local government council reveals that poor internal control system is a major problem in local government administration. There is lack of effective check and balances within the system.

There is also a lot of provisions in the operational guidelines for local government that should promote health financial transaction in the local government. However, the study tried to establish the fact that accountability is indispensable for good governance.

The greater the quality of accountability in governance and vices versa, he greater the level of corruption in a policy and vice versa.

Fear God keep his commandment, for this is the whole duty of many for God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing whether it is good or evil (Ecc 12-13 -14).

I will also lay credence what saint Paul said in Rom. 14:12 which say “So then each of us still give an account of himself to God finally with this two biblical quotes will be put to work, our local government and public organization will see a new resolution.
