Misappropriation of assets is indeed becoming a major concern in the public sector.In this paper, we will attempt to frame the results survey on assets misappropriation that might occur in two city councils.It is found that the incidence of

result, the trivial instalments will create tremendous impact on the financial waste due to the unnecessary expenditure incurred. |
