ABSTRACT
The global financial crisis has caused a re-awakening of the donor community’s desire to monitor the activities of NGOs operating in various parts of the world. Recent operational and financial scandals involving some NGOs are causing uneasiness among financiers of these NGOs. Management of such NGOs fears that they must strive to avoid operational inefficiencies in their efforts to achieving intended objectives. Many believe internal control holds the key to achieving such desires. This study determines the effect of budgetary control on performance of Non-Governmental Organisations. It further highlight the effect of monitoring and evaluation on performance of NGOs; it assesses the current state and functionality of budgeting controls in the NGOs and it impact on the performance of NGOs objectives.

Primary data obtained using self-administered structured questionnaire and the Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS 20.0 version) was used to analyse the data.
The study found that budget and budgeting control helps NGOs to maximize their social impact and achieve their ultimate objectives. Also, it was found that there was statistically significant effect of budget control on performance of Non-Governmental Organisations.
