| dc.description.abstract | This research was conducted with the aim of investigating the relationship that exists between financial management practices and service delivery in Nama Sub-county in Mukono District Local Government. This research was also conducted with the aim of investigating the objectives of assessing the effect of budget approval on service delivery, the effect of revenue collection on service delivery, and the influence of expenditure control on service delivery in Nama Sub-county. The research design that was used in this research study was a case study research design that was mixed in nature. For this research study, the target population was made up of 80 people, including technical staff, political leaders, parish chiefs, and heads of health centers, primary schools, and community members. According to Krejcie and Morgan (1970) table, the sample size that was used in this research study was made up of 68 people. Correlation analysis indicated that there is a strong positive correlation between budget approval and service delivery (r = 0.682, p < 0.01), revenue collection and service delivery (r = 0.594, p < 0.01), and expenditure control and service delivery (r= 0.735, p < 0.01). Regression analysis indicated that budget approval is a significant predictor of service delivery (β = 0.281, p < 0.05), revenue collection is a significant predictor of service delivery (β = 0.187, p < 0.05), and expenditure control is a significant predictor of service delivery (β = 0.474, p < 0.001). The three variables together explained 65.9 percent of variance for service delivery (R² = 0.659). The study concluded that financial management procedures have a strong and significant effect on service delivery in Nama Sub-county. Qualitative study results indicated that budget approval is often delayed, political disagreements are common, political interference is a barrier to revenue collection, and unretired imprest is a barrier to service delivery. The study also recommended that the Sub-county improves its control of expenditure by implementing a policy which states that no new imprest is to be issued to officers who have outstanding accountability. The Sub-county Council is also to establish a joint budget committee to resolve differences before a full council to approve the budget by 31st May | |
