Background of the Study
Accounting Information Systems (AIS) are increasingly being used to support budgetary control processes in local governments. These systems provide accurate, timely, and comprehensive data, which is essential for effective budget planning, monitoring, and control. In Gwale LGA, AIS is intended to improve budgetary control by enhancing transparency, reducing overspending, and ensuring proper allocation of funds. This study will assess the impact of AIS on budgetary control in Gwale LGA.
