Background of the Study
Government grants are an essential source of funding for local government projects, but managing these grants effectively requires robust financial systems. 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.
Statement of the Problem
Shendam LGA struggles with efficient management of government grants due to issues like poor financial record-keeping and slow reporting. AIS could improve the process by automating grant tracking, but its adoption has faced significant barriers such as technical limitations, staff resistance, and insufficient infrastructure.
