Background of the Study
Internally generated revenue (IGR) is a crucial source of funding for local government operations, including infrastructure development and social services. In Ningi Local Government Area, effective management and tracking of IGR are essential to ensure that revenue is collected efficiently and used appropriately. The implementation of an Accounting Information System (AIS) could improve the collection, monitoring, and reporting of IGR. This study will explore the effect of AIS on enhancing IGR in Ningi.
