CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1  BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Expenditure control is part of management control process in every organization, both government establishment and private establishment. Expenditure control is defined as the process by which managers use productively and efficiently, the deficit resource in the accomplishment of the organisational goals. Looking at expenditure and control from different perspective. Expenditure is the total amount spent on the process of trying to achieve a specific organisational goal. Control means to order, limit, instruct, or rule something or someone’s actions. It is utilized by either government officials or organisation managers to put a line on wages increase immigrate credit, to mention but a few. Many researchers have conducted researches on the reason companies and  organisation expenditure control process. A study of the ministry of finance, Enugu state and Innoson group, Enugu; this means a comparative study of non-profit making organisations, since ministry of finance is government owned while innoson group is privately owned as a category of profit making organisation. Non-profit making organizations are known by the following: a) there is neither a conscious profit motive nor an expectation of earning net income. b) No profit of any excess of revenue over expenditure is distributed to those who contributed support through taxes and voluntary donations. In profit making organisations, the reverse of these properties is the case, meaning that their primarygoal is to maximize profit and excess of revenue over expenditure.Government owned establishments pay more attention to services they render to the public, as their primarygoal is to provide services that satisfy. Privately owned establishmentsgo out of their way to render good and quality services to the public, they pay more attention to maximize of profit which is their key objective. 

Comparative study of expenditure control methods in Government and privately owned establishment which is the mainresearch question in this research work has to do with the dierent ways and methods by which expenditure is being controlled and managed in each of the establishments so that they will not run into deficit or liquidations.
