Background of the Study
Jere LGA, part of Borno State, provides essential health services to its population through public health facilities. Effective resource allocation is critical for the efficient delivery of these services. Accounting systems are central to managing public funds, tracking expenditures, and ensuring that resources are allocated where they are most needed. This study aims to evaluate the role of accounting systems in resource allocation for local government health services in Jere LGA and their influence on the quality and accessibility of healthcare.
