Background of the Study
In Azare Local Government Area, the health sector plays a critical role in providing essential services to the community. However, managing finances in this sector has been traditionally challenging due to limited transparency, inefficient tracking of funds, and poor resource allocation. The adoption of an Accounting Information System (AIS) could enhance financial management, improve fund tracking, and support better decision-making. This study will examine how AIS can be utilized to optimize health sector financing in Azare.
Statement of the Problem
The health sector in Azare faces challenges such as budget mismanagement, inadequate financial monitoring, and lack of transparency in the allocation of resources. These problems result in inefficiencies and hinder the delivery of quality healthcare services. An effective AIS could address these issues by improving financial tracking, resource allocation, and ensuring transparency in health financing.
