Background of the Study
Agriculture remains the primary source of livelihood and economic activity for many local communities in Kaura Namoda Local Government Area (LGA). Monitoring agricultural programs, such as subsidies, farm support, and rural development initiatives, requires effective financial management and cost control measures. Cost accounting, as a tool for tracking expenses and optimizing resource allocation, can significantly enhance the monitoring and evaluation of agricultural programs. However, the implementation of cost accounting in agricultural projects faces challenges such as inadequate data collection systems, lack of skilled personnel, and resource constraints.
This study aims to identify the challenges faced by the Kaura Namoda LGA in using cost accounting to monitor agricultural programs and suggest possible solutions for overcoming these hurdles.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the importance of agricultural programs in Kaura Namoda LGA, there is a lack of efficient cost accounting practices to track expenditures and ensure optimal allocation of resources. Without proper cost tracking, agricultural programs may face inefficiencies, misallocation of funds, and reduced program effectiveness. This study explores the challenges in implementing cost accounting techniques to monitor agricultural programs in the area.
