    Management of Financial Resource in the Districts Assemblies: A Case Study in the Ga South Municipal Assembly
    (2012-02-13) Mensah, Isaac
    The purpose of this study is to find out how the Ga South Municipal Assembly manages internally and externally generated funds. On this basis, Eighty (80) questionnaire were prepared and administered and interviews were also conducted to collect relevant data. The simple random sampling method was used to select the sample for the study. Simple percentages were employed to analyze and interpret the data. The findings were that the district assembly’s spending pattern favours capital expenditure than recurrent expenditure. It was also revealed that internally generated revenue is far below their budget in the years under study. In order to solve these problems, it is recommended that, the district intensify their revenue generation programme by employing more hand to the revenue unit and widening their coverage in revenue generation to areas where they are not generating revenue as well as reviewing their rates for property to fulfill their development roles and also take into consideration realistic economic condition before constructing their budget.
