Background of the Study
Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in Nguru Local Government Area rely on donor funding and internal resources to implement projects aimed at improving social welfare. Effective management of finances, donor funds, and project resources requires an integrated approach. The use of an Accounting Information System (AIS) can enhance the efficiency of financial management, improve transparency, and help NGOs track the impact of their activities. This study will assess the integration of AIS in NGOs in Nguru LGA.
Statement of the Problem
Many NGOs in Nguru LGA still rely on manual accounting systems, which may lead to errors, delays, and difficulties in tracking expenditures. The lack of an integrated AIS limits the organizations’ ability to provide accurate financial reports to donors and stakeholders. This study seeks to explore the potential benefits and challenges of integrating AIS into the financial management practices of NGOs.
