controls, accounting and external and internal accounting. Financial management

practices operate as a barrier to the implementation, weak oversight, inconsistent
enforcement of the prevailing rules, compliance with procedural requirements,
compromise on the intent and spirit of rules, ambiguities and gaps in the rules and
inefficient costly system. The study recommends that JSC comes up with operational
management strategies and implement them. The study established that inefficiency in
