ABSTRACT
The study was carried out among Conference of Heads of Assisted Secondary Schools (CHASS) in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana. The objective was to find out the perception of heads of government Assisted Secondary Schools towards financial administration procedures practiced in schools. The study was also intended to find out the background of the heads and the bursars on the relationship that should exist among them. The study however established that the heads and the bursars role in the school’s financial administration needs to be clarified through regular workshops organized by the Ghana Education Service and other institutions that regulate financial management at the senior high school level.
A questionnaire was the main instrument used to collect data for the heads. Among the heads those who administered boarding schools were more than those who administered over day schools.
It was recommended that induction and in-service opportunities should be opened to administrators not as an option, but as structured and operational practice of the Ghana Education Service. This was informed by the finding that most of the administrators did not either receive an induction or in-service opportunities at all or did not subscribe to one. From the study it was found out that both headmasters/headmistresses and the bursars desire a cordial relationship to exist between them in order for them to foster an understanding spirit and co-operation.
