Background of the Study
Public health institutions play a vital role in the well-being of communities, but many face challenges in adopting modern technologies that can improve financial management. In Bida Local Government Area, public health institutions have yet to fully embrace Accounting Information Systems (AIS), which could help streamline financial operations and enhance transparency. This study seeks to identify the barriers to AIS adoption in public health institutions and explore ways to overcome these challenges.
