Accounting systems play a crucial role in promoting financial transparency, particularly in the public sector. Effective accounting systems ensure that government spending is accurately recorded, and resources are allocated efficiently, which fosters accountability and trust among the public. In Fufore LGA, government spending, particularly in infrastructure development and public services, must be properly tracked and reported to ensure that resources are being used effectively. This study aims to evaluate the role of accounting systems in promoting transparency in government spending within the local government area.
