Background of the Study
Small-scale farming cooperatives play a critical role in agricultural development in rural areas, including Wamakko LGA. However, these cooperatives often struggle with inefficient financial management, leading to poor decision-making and low profitability. The adoption of an Accounting Information System (AIS) could significantly improve financial management in these cooperatives. This study will investigate the challenges of implementing AIS in small-scale farming cooperatives in Wamakko LGA.
Statement of the Problem
Wamakko LGA’s small-scale farming cooperatives face difficulties in managing finances effectively due to a lack of automation, inaccurate financial reporting, and poor oversight. Despite the potential benefits of AIS, such as improved financial management and transparency, the adoption of AIS in these cooperatives has been slow, primarily due to implementation challenges.
