CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

Background and Rationale of the Study

Accounting is a very important sort of information; the idea is highly unlikely that since it is pure science it will not have any downsides. It is also unlikely that internal auditing of dilemmas by professionals within this field will administer to fix every insufficiency, or that vigorous condemnation from the outside can do harm to the real authorities and features of economic quantification ( Phiddian, 1996, p.77).
