The research was motivated by the inability of the Ebonyi Local Government Council to ensure proper auditing as to limit the rate of fraud in the council.. Simple random sampling and stratified sampling techniques were used and data were collected from primary and secondary sources. Structured questionnaire instrument was used for data collection while simple percentage method and frequency distribution tables were used to analyze the data gotten from the questionnaire instrument. Chi-square statiacted was used for testing the hypothesis that guided the study. This study however, revealed that Ebonyi Local Government Council keeps adequate and reliable records of its activities through the use of computers and certified receipts, the fraudulent behaviours of revenue officers such as falsification of receipts, non-remittance of collected revenue among others constitute major challenges of Ebonyi Local government council among others.
