Background of the Study
Transparency in local government operations is crucial for ensuring accountability, proper resource allocation, and efficient service delivery. In Jos North Local Government Area, enhancing financial transparency has been a key challenge due to manual processes, limited oversight, and insufficient financial tracking. An Accounting Information System (AIS) could serve as a powerful tool for improving transparency, enabling real-time monitoring, and providing accurate financial reports. This study will examine how AIS can be utilized to enhance financial transparency in Jos North.
Statement of the Problem

AIS can improve transparency by automating processes, tracking revenues and expenditures, and ensuring that funds are allocated and used appropriately. However, the current adoption and utilization of AIS in Jos North are limited, and its potential benefits have not been fully realized.
