KPK government on 1 January announced new local government ordinance 2013. In this respect, the provincial government promulgated Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Local Government Act 2012 with effect from January 1, 2013. Under the Act, district councils and municipal committees in all 25 districts of the province and Municipal Corporation in Peshawar would be established from the start of the new calendar year. According to this new system the new local government ordinance bring some problems of acute nature for smooth functioning of different departments particularly in Audit and Account sections of all over the province KPK. In this research work we will study in detail about the problems faced by B.A.O as well as the overall function of the system. For this purpose I get visit to BAO consecutively 4 months from November 2012 up to February 2013. And interviewed from different employees of the organization. After extensive analysis I come to the conclusion that BAO employees are very frustrated at the implementation stage of new strategy but with the passage of time they become familiar with the newly adopted concept. The problems faced by them are changing in designation as well as responsibility will grades remain the same. At the same time opportunity for promotion and access to the higher authorities make it easy for two way communication in the organization and in this way they can discuss their problem wit to level management. But the biggest hurdle that remains is the bureaucratic nature of government, Nepotism and political influence still effect the essence of NLGO 2013.
