The study intended find out the effectiveness of internal controls over revenue and expenditure at TANESCO in Dodoma Municipal. A cross sectional survey was used in the course of the study. Both qualitative and quantitative data were gathered and purposive sampling was also used to select a sample of 26 interviewees who ranged from ordinary employees to senior management officers. Data were collected using both primary and secondary sources. Researcher organized the well-answered questionnaire; then edited and sorted for the next stage and findings are presented in tabular form, frequencies, percentages and images. The researcher analyzed data using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) to analyze the relationship between the variables under study. The study noted that the internal controls over revenue and expenditure were effective.
