Shendam Local Government Area, like many others, faces challenges in efficiently managing grants, including inadequate tracking, poor allocation, and lack of timely reporting. The implementation of Accounting Information Systems (AIS) can address these challenges by automating the tracking and reporting of government grants, thus improving financial management. This study will investigate the challenges in using AIS to manage government grants in Shendam.
