An Empirical Analysis Of The Impact Of Private Sector On The
Economic Growth And Development Of Nigeria (1980–2010)
ABSTRACT
This research work on A Comparative Study of Expenditure
Controls method in Government and private Hospitals is aimed at studying and
analysing the different methods of expenditure control that is being adopted by
these hospitals, their practical application and their level of effectiveness.
It is aimed at carrying out a comparative analysis of two hospitals. To achieve
the aim of this research, secondary data through textbooks and journals were
used to review some of the related literatures. Equally, questionnaires,
interview and observation, which sought to find out facts needed for analysing,
were used. The questionnaires were analyzed by simple percentages while
hypothesis were tested using chi-square statistics. The findings of the
analysis indicate among others that the method of expenditure control used by
both hospitals are not the same; The daily control method for private hospitals
and the vote card method for Government Hospitals. The different methods of
expenditure control used by the two hospitals are effective, but with slight
loopholes associated with vote card method. I recommend among others that both
hospitals should adhere strictly to authorization procedure for drug purchased
and materials purchases. Both hospitals should exhibit high degree of cash
management and employ competent personnel for proper and efficient expenditure
control.

CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Expenditure control or cost control is part of management
control process, in every organisation.
This process is very important to any organisation be it
profit making organisation or non-profit making organisation. Thus, lack of
this practice in any organisation will cause misapplication of cash in cash
disbursement process and this will create a very big problem leading the
organisation into deficit and at an extreme case, the organisation might wind
up. Many researches have been conducted in the reason for winding up of
companies and organisation in which lack of expenditure control process had
found responsible.
Expenditure control has been defined as the process by which
managers utilize effectively and efficiently, the scarce resource in the
achievement of the organisational goals. At this juncture, let us look at
expenditure and control from separate perspective.
2
Expenditure is the total amount spent on the process of
trying to achieve a particular organisational goal. Control means to order,
limit, instruct or rule something or someone’s actions. It is used by either
government officials or organisation managers to make restrictions on wages
increases, immigrate credit and so on (which are all expenditure).
As regards, this research work, which is the comparative
study of expenditure control methods in government and privately owned
Hospitals, A study of the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital Enugu (UNTH)
and Toronto Hospital and Maternity Onitsha; this implies a comparative study of
non-profit making organisations, since UNTH is government owned Hospital while
Toronto Hospital is privately owned Hospital as a category of profit making
organisation. Non-profit making organisations are characterized by the
following:
a) There is neither a conscious profit motive nor an
expectation of earning net income.
b) No profit of any excess of revenue over expenditure is
distributed to those who contributed support through taxes and voluntary
donations.
3
In profit making organisations, the reverse of these characteristics
is the case in the sense that their major objective is to maximize profit and
excess of revenue over expenditure are given to the owners of the organisation.
Government owned hospitals pay more attention to services
they render to the public, as their major objectives is to provide services
that fulfil a social needs for those who do not have the purchasing power to
acquire these services themselves. Irrespective of the fact that privately
owned hospitals try to render good and quality services to the public, they pay
more attention to maximize of profit which their major objective.
Comparative study of expenditure control in Government and
privately owned Hospital which is major research question in this research work
has to with the different ways and methods by which expenditure is being
controlled in each of the hospitals so that they will not run into deficit or
liquidations.
According to Johnson (1976), the management control concept
which imbibes the expenditure control are the same both in profit oriented and
non-profit oriented organisations, but the implication of these concepts
4
differ in important respect. We will want to find out if also
the expenditure control methods are the same or differ in the two hospitals
under study, owning to the fact that one is profit oriented and the other is
non-profit oriented.
1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The problems encountered by the Government and privately
owned Hospitals in expenditure control are as follows: The problem of daily
control method and the vote card method. The problem encountered is to know the
effective method to use in the two hospitals. Here, the problem encountered is
to check whether the daily control method will be efficient and effective in
the Government owned hospitals or whether the vote card method is the best.
Another problem encountered by the hospitals in expenditure control is the
problem of internal control. Internal control is the essential feature of an
organisation, be it profit making or non-profit making, and it is expected to
be well managed effectively and efficiently. Any
5
problem or limitation of the internal control will pose a
problem to the expenditure control of the organisation.
Therefore, the above problems encountered by the two
hospitals are the problems of expenditure control methods encountered by the
government and privately owned hospitals by the government and privately owned
hospitals that attracted the attention of the researcher.
The problem definition in this research work is to
investigate and analyse the different ways and methods by which expenditure is
controlled in government owned hospitals and privately owned hospitals so that
they will not run into deficit and liquidation. As a comparative study, two
hospitals has been selected for the study, they are: University of Nigeria
Teaching Hospital Enugu (UNTH) for government owned Hospitals, and Toronto
Hospital and Maternity Onitsha for privately owned hospitals.
In this research, we study the different methods of
expenditure control being adopted by these hospitals and their practical
application and their level of effectiveness.
This study will form a basis for our analysis which will help
to answer some research questions.
