Efficiency in auditing provider means of appraising company’s performance and it helps to detect the ills and weakness. Auditing as explained by audit operational standards is the independent examination of an enterprise by an appointed auditor in pursuance of that appointed and in compliance with any relevant statutory obligation. With the help of auditing knowledge, the intention is to find out the extent to which the company Nigeria breweries had carried out efficiently appraisal and highlighting deficiency and inefficiency which are usually believed as not existing and whether the company is efficient as it should be correctly. But when the company grows to a greater height, volume of transaction becomes substantial usually with public company. It will need the service of an accountant who is an auditor so as to be able to carry out his job more efficiently.
In developing country like Nigeria, a company whether large, medium or small faces special problem of auditing inefficiency. The problems which includes incomplete recording of accounts, poor attitude to adhere to the accounting standards and guideline coupled with incessant fraud and defalcation have warranted that the techniques of audit should be mastered by accountants. This research work therefore attempts to highlight on these key problems, areas that will undermine auditing efficiency in a company and make suggestion about their possible solutions.
Considering the above, the research work has undertaken to study the auditing efficiency as a tool for improving company performance using Nigerian breweries as the case study. It is intend to find out some of the reasons for deficiencies and inefficiency in the company which is usually believed as not existing. When in fact they started to find out ways to eradicate these abnormalities by the application of efficiency audit.
It is also intended to find out the extent to which management has appraised their own operations and how competent they have been in determining operational weakness and ills.
Considering the above aims and objectives, there is the need to inform other users of the company’s financial information on the efficiency of audit as the tool for improving company’s performance. It helps to prevent fraud because if fraud is detected and prevented on time, the attainment of corporate objective will be much more effectively and efficiently pursued. If the company is efficiently audited, it will help the company to perform efficiently and make it to grow.
In carrying out this study, the researcher intends to test hypothesis are merely anticipated or expected relationships between or among the variables to interest. The hypothesis will be tested and conclusion arrived at the application of;
H0 the company’s auditing process is not efficient.

H1 auditing efficiency is a tool for improving company’s performance.
For the purpose of this research work, the researcher will focus her attention on the auditing efficiency as a tool for improving company’s performance using Nigerian breweries plc Enugu as a case study. The concentration on the above named company is as a result of the fact that the research envisaged a possible danger the effectiveness of carrying this research work on a longer scope to embrace all the companies in Nigeria will seriously be hampered by many inevitable factors.
The dearth of research material within the polytechnic community was one o problem encountered by the researcher in the course of work.
