Background of the Study
Accountability in local government institutions is essential for ensuring the effective use of public resources and maintaining public trust. The adoption of Accounting Information Systems (AIS) has been shown to enhance accountability by providing accurate, transparent, and timely financial information. This study focuses on evaluating the role of AIS in enhancing financial accountability in Soba Local Government Area (LGA).
Statement of the Problem
While the importance of AIS in improving accountability is recognized, many local governments, including Soba LGA, face challenges in fully utilizing these systems to achieve their objectives. Problems such as poor system integration, inadequate staff training, and lack of technical infrastructure may undermine the effectiveness of AIS in enhancing financial accountability. This study seeks to explore how AIS can be better leveraged to improve accountability in Soba LGA.
