    The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the effect of internal control system on financial management in government secondary schools of Northern Uganda using secondary schools in Lira City as a case study. The study established the effect of control environment on the financial management in government secondary school in Lira City, assessed the effect of control activities on financial management in government secondary schools in Lira City and examined the effect of information and communication on financial management in government secondary schools in Lira City. The study adopted a cross-sectional survey design which used primary data obtained using self-administered questionnaire (SAQ) and interview guide. Data was collected from a sample of 82 respondents, analyzed in term of descriptive statistics, correlation and regressions using SPSS version 23.0. Cronbach’s alpha was computed to test reliability of questionnaire tool and found to be 84.5% while the research supervisors were used to clean up the content validity of the tools. The findings of the study revealed that control environment affect financial management with (an adjusted R2=55%, p- value < 0.05) at 95% level of significance. Secondly, the effect of control activities on financial management produced and adjusted R2 of about 54.5% and a p- value less than 0.05 at 95% level of significance. This indicate that control activities affect financial management. Finally effect of information and communication on financial management yielded an adjusted R2 of about44% with p-value less than 0.05. However, the multivariant regression results produced a beta value of 0.167 and a sig. value of 0.162on this relationship which implied on effects between information and communication control and financial management.

    (Lira University, 2021) Bua, Lydia; Hagobi, Nathan Hasahya; Oguti, Robert Etengu
    Background: The purpose of this study was to empirically document the effect of internal control system on health service delivery in Uganda using Lira District Local Government as a case study. Precisely, the study established the effect of control environment on health service delivery in Lira District Local Government, assessed the effect of risk assessment on health service delivery in Lira District Government, and examined THE effect of control activities on health service delivery in Lira District Local Government. Methods: The study adopted a cross-sectional survey design which made use of primary data sourced suing a self-administered questionnaire. Data was collected from a sample of 90 respondents extracted from a sample size of 130 using a self-administered questionnaire. The researcher used purposive and simple random sampling to select the respondents. The data was analysed in terms of descriptive statistics, correlations and regressions. Findings: The findings of the study revealed a significant relationship between control environment and health service delivery (an adjusted R2 value of about 20% with a p-value <0.05 at the 95% significance level). Secondly, the effect of risk assessment on health service delivery produces an adjusted R2 OF ABOUT 20%. In addition, the result from the ANOVA table exhibited a significant linear relationship [F (1, 88) = 10.654, p < 0.05] which meant that the relationship was significant. Thirdly, the results on effect of control activities on health service delivery produced an adjusted R2 of about 29% and further revealed that the relationship was significant (p <0.05). Conclusion: In conclusion, control environment significant affects health service delivery, assessment of risk performed in Lira District Local Government enhanced quality of health service delivered in the district and control activities significantly affect health service delivery in Lira District Local Government. Recommendations: The study recommended that there is need to improve the current control environment aimed at improving health service delivery, management of lira district local government should also start thinking in terms of incorporating information technology (IT) in their risk assessment processes so as to enable accurate risk assessment and finally, the researcher also recommends a through review of the existing controls with the aimed of strengthening then though policy implementation because their apparent contribution towards health service delivery is based on the results of the multivariate analysis is relatively low compared to the results from prior studies. Keywords: Internal control system, health service delivery
