Background of the Study
Agricultural subsidies are critical for supporting farmers and promoting agricultural development in Misau Local Government Area. However, ensuring that these subsidies are effectively monitored and utilized has been a challenge due to the lack of a centralized financial tracking system. An effective Accounting Information System (AIS) could improve the management, allocation, and monitoring of agricultural subsidies. This study will assess how AIS can be used to enhance the effectiveness of agricultural subsidy programs in Misau.
Statement of the Problem
In Misau LGA, agricultural subsidies often face challenges such as misallocation, fraud, and inefficiency in tracking the use of funds. Without proper monitoring, the intended benefits of subsidies may not reach the target farmers, resulting in ineffective agricultural support. The implementation of AIS could address these challenges by providing a more transparent, efficient, and accountable means of managing and monitoring subsidy distribution.
Aim and Objectives of the Study
Aim: To assess the role of Accounting Information Systems in enhancing the monitoring and effectiveness of agricultural subsidies in Misau Local Government Area.
Objectives:
-
To investigate how AIS is utilized in monitoring the distribution of agricultural subsidies in Misau.
-
