Did you know that as democratic institutions, the Office of the Auditor-General for the Federation, and the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) serve as guardians of public funds, ensuring effective utilization while preventing financial mismanagement and corrupt practices?

The Auditor General serves as an independent body responsible for scrutinizing government expenditures & public finances. The PAC, within the legislative framework, reviews reports, conducts public hearings & recommends corrective actions for financial misconduct.

Together, the Auditor General and the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) form a critical partnership to safeguard public funds, promote transparency, and prevent corruption in Nigeria by holding government officials accountable for financial decisions and actions.

However, in #Nigeria, despite their pivotal roles, these institutions face challenges including ineffective legal framework, insufficient funding, inadequate staffing, and sometimes political interference, necessitating continuous reform and support.
