CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
- BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Companies or organization take a unque position in an economic setting by virtue of their position in terms of goods and services. The growing complexities in the organizations have necessitated the need for a functional and effective internal audit before the ultimate statutory audit. This is because of the incessant reports of frauds and misappropriation of fund in manufacturing companies.
The origin of auditing emanate from the separation ownership from control; inspite of this is became necessary for the manager entrusted with the financial and economic resources of business to present their financial report to the employers.
Auditing is viewed from one of the primary means by which accountability can be ensured to the financial statement.
Auditing, according to Walter(1970), is therefore said to be such an examination of books and accounts and vouchers of a business, as it will enable the auditor to express his opinion as to whether the balance sheet is properly drawn up, so as to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the business and that the profit and loss account give a true and fair view as the profit and loss for the financial period according to the best of information and explation given to him and as shown by the books to report otherwise if not satisfied.
Professional auditing grow and develop in England, whose first organized accounting body was formed in Nigeria, the institute of chartered Accountants of Nigeria {ICAN}was established by the act of parliament number 15 of 1995.

ed as an independent appraisal of activity within an organization, for the review of operation as service to management. It is a management control which function by measuring and evaluating the effectiveness of other controls.
