The introduction of Accounting Information Systems (AIS) offers the potential to improve accountability by providing accurate, real-time financial data, enhancing oversight, and reducing opportunities for financial mismanagement. This study will explore the role of AIS in improving financial accountability in Barkin Ladi LGA.
