Abstract
This research was conducted in Kabale District Local Government to examine the effect of financial accountability on
service delivery. The predictor variables under study were funds disbursement, auditing process and record-keeping
systems, while service delivery was the outcome variable. The study followed a cross-sectional survey. Data from 86
respondents was collected and analyzed quantitatively, complemented with qualitative analysis. Since descriptive
analysis entailed a description of a single variable and its attributes, frequency tables were used to present the data.
At the bivariate level, a Pearson correlation matrix was conducted to ascertain the relationships between the
predictor variables and the dependent variable. A linear regression model was used to fit the data. Research findings
from the regression model show that funds disbursement (R=862), Auditing process (R=656 and record-keeping
systems (R=899) have a positive significance on the service delivery of Kabale District local government. The main
conclusion drawn from this research is that funds disbursement, auditing process and record-keeping systems have a
significant effect on service delivery.
