Background of the Study
Agriculture plays a key role in the economy of Wukari Local Government Area (LGA), where numerous government programs are dedicated to enhancing agricultural productivity, such as subsidy programs, infrastructure development, and training initiatives. Monitoring the budgets of these agricultural programs is critical to ensuring that financial resources are used efficiently and effectively. Cost accounting techniques, such as variance analysis and budget forecasting, help track expenses and ensure that projects remain within budget (Horngren et al., 2013).
This study will explore how cost accounting can be used to monitor agricultural program budgets in Wukari LGA and ensure that financial resources are allocated effectively for agricultural development.
Statement of the Problem
The monitoring of agricultural program budgets in Wukari LGA is often hindered by inefficient tracking and cost management practices. Without robust cost accounting systems, it is difficult to determine whether the financial resources allocated to agricultural programs are being used appropriately. This study aims to investigate the role of cost accounting in improving the monitoring and management of agricultural program budgets in Wukari LGA.
