Background of the Study
Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) play a significant role in local economies, including in Bassa Local Government Area. Revenue collection from these businesses is essential for generating funds for local development and public services. However, SMEs often face challenges in efficiently managing and tracking their revenue. The implementation of an Accounting Information System (AIS) can help improve revenue collection by providing accurate data, automating processes, and ensuring compliance. This study will explore how AIS can enhance revenue collection for SMEs in Bassa LGA.
