This research relied on primary data. The primary data was collected via a well-structured survey. Descriptive and inferential statistical techniques were used to analyze the data. Simple frequency and percentages were utilized in descriptive statistics to answer research questions, whereas inferential statistics were used to assess the study's hypotheses.

The study also discovered that budget monitoring and effective performance in Osun State's local government had a substantial relationship.
