Background of the Study
Monitoring and evaluating local government projects is essential for ensuring that public funds are used effectively, and that projects meet their intended objectives. Jos South Local Government Area has faced challenges in project monitoring, including inadequate reporting, inefficient tracking of funds, and delays in project implementation. The use of an Accounting Information System (AIS) could significantly enhance project monitoring by providing real-time financial data, improving budgeting, and ensuring proper fund allocation. This study will assess the effectiveness of AIS in monitoring local government projects in Jos South.
Statement of the Problem
In Jos South LGA, monitoring and managing local government projects has often been hindered by inefficient financial tracking and limited access to real-time financial data. This has resulted in poor accountability, delayed project delivery, and inefficient resource allocation. AIS could address these challenges by automating financial processes and enabling better tracking of project expenditures.
