Abstract [en]

To ascertain the purpose and value of audit in the public-sector corporations, this study was done to explore the needs and perception of audit value likewise to analyse the perception of stakeholders like auditees and the society on the value of the audit conducted by the external auditors in Liberia. A qualitative method was used to collect and analyse the empirical data used in this study. The findings of this study have proven that the need of audit in the public-sector corporations is for accountability and transparency but mainly for legitimacy as government must work along with other stakeholders like public entities to respond to the needs of its citizen. Furthermore, this studying has proven that, indeed audit can add value in the public sectors. In Liberia, the audit conducted by GAC is of great value to all stakeholder as auditors are identifying and reporting on the exact performance of the resource allocation and program implemented in the public corporations.
