That is why the internal control system must not only be put in place, but is also having to be effective in removing such irregularities.</p><p>Similarly, the research work will be grouped into five chapters, in which chapter one contains the introduction. This will give us a skeletal framework of the study and also sub topics such as statement of the problem and so on.</p><p>Chapter two contains the literature review which will give the details of the topic and also the meaning of the topic.</p><p>Chapter three contains the research methodology and techniques which will show the methods through which the survey and the sources of data will be carried out.</p><p>Chapter four contains the presentation and the analysis of data which further gives the information suitable.</p><p>Chapter five finally contains a workable recommendation proffered from the findings derived. These findings will help the management of the board of internal revenue Enugu State to improve on the effectiveness of their internal control system.</p> <br><p></p>
