CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.2 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
The practice of auditing commenced on the day that an individual assumed stewardship over another one’s property. Stewardship is a name given to the practice by which productive resources owned by one person or group are managed by another person or group of persons. In reporting on his stewardship, accuracy, efficiency and reliability of that information would have been subjected to some sort of critical review. Evidence has shown that many years ago, Egyptians, Greeks, Romans and others utilized their opportunities of using check and counter check on the accounting of public funds in order to maintain efficient and effective accounting of public funds committed to them.
