ABSTRACT
This project work examines the role of accounting records in proper management of the public sector in the federal parostatals (Federal Ministry of Environment as the case study). There has been significant attempt by the researcher to examine whether the role of accounting records as should be kept is being adopted by the ministry. The problems facing the good accountability in the sector was identity and solution has been provided to enhance the system of accountability in the federal parastatals. To accomplish the aim of this project work, some related literatures were reviewed and duly acknowledged in the appropriate reference sections. Two hypotheses were formulated and thereafter tested using chi-square. The data used were from both primary and secondary sources. Based on the data collected and analysis some findings were made which proceeded to conclusion and some recommendation. It has been generally concluded that there is no good internal control system and technological facilities, which if quickly restored will improve the role of accounting record in the public sector and nation at large.
