Abstract

This study examined the implications of accountability in governance for peace building in Nigeria. It underscored the critical role of accountability for good governance and pointed out the centrality of professional accountants in enhancing accountability in governance. The study argued that peace is desirable in every human society and is pursued through mechanisms which include accountability. Drawing from the experience of Nigeria, the study revealed that accounting contributes to peace building through assurance services by professional accountants and efficient taxation bolstered by accounting professionals. The study recommends amongst others, financial statement insurance to increase the quality of audit so as to prevent conflict arising from fraud and misstatement.
