The Influence of Revenue Administration on Revenue Collection.

Abstract

Despite the fact that most Tanzanian local government bodies have experienced problems with internal control, the country's financial control mechanisms are nonetheless taken into account. The purpose of this study was to evaluate how financial control mechanisms affected revenue collection. A cross-sectional design was used to collect data from all 41 respondents, or 100% of the sample. There were 12 department heads, 13 accountants, 6 internal auditors, 3 economists, 5 administrative units, and 2 trade units among the respondents. According to the study's findings, local government authorities' income collection is strongly and favorably correlated with budget planning and revenue administration. Even though there is no direct link between assessing internal control systems and revenue collection, the study found that revenue collection is improved by routinely reviewing internal control systems to assure revenue protection. The implementation of the financial control system is then advised, with public officials being committed to doing so to the best of their abilities.
