This study therefore, aimed at determining the relationship between management of funds and economic security in universities in Cross River State. The management of funds was examined in relation to internal audit system and budgetary control. Survey research design was adopted while the population of the study consisted of ninety (90) department heads from University of Calabar and Cross River State University of Technology (CRUTECH). Purposeful sampling technique was used and the sample size consisted of ninety departmental heads from the two universities. Questionnaire titled management of funds and economic security (MOFAESQ) was used. The reliability estimate was carried out using Cronbach reliability estimate (‘r’ -0.67 and ‘r’ – 0.74) Pearson Product moment correlation statistics was used for data analysis.
