The Impact of Accounting Information System on Donor Fund Management in Jere Local Government Area

---

Background of the Study

Donor funds are critical for the execution of development projects in local government areas, particularly in Jere LGA, which has received significant aid for infrastructure, healthcare, and educational projects. However, managing these funds efficiently requires transparency, accountability, and proper documentation, which can be challenging without an effective Accounting Information System (AIS). This study aims to assess how AIS can enhance the management and utilization of donor funds in Jere Local Government Area.

Statement of the Problem

Jere LGA faces difficulties in effectively managing donor funds, often resulting in inefficiencies, misallocation of resources, and a lack of transparency. The absence of a robust AIS system complicates tracking, reporting, and auditing of funds. This study seeks to evaluate how the introduction and utilization of AIS can improve the management of donor funds, ensuring proper allocation, accountability, and impact.
