Background of the Study
Manufacturing firms rely heavily on accurate cost data to manage expenses, set prices, and maintain profitability. Accounting information systems (AIS) have become integral tools for automating cost tracking, analyzing financial data, and supporting decision-making in manufacturing firms. This study will explore the effect of accounting information systems on cost control in manufacturing firms in Keffi LGA, focusing on how these systems improve cost management and operational efficiency.
Statement of the Problem
Many manufacturing firms in Keffi LGA struggle with managing production costs effectively due to poor cost tracking and inefficient financial systems. This often leads to cost overruns and reduced profit margins. The study will assess how the use of accounting information systems can improve cost control practices in these firms.
Aim and Objectives of the Study
1. To assess the impact of accounting information systems on cost control in manufacturing firms in Keffi LGA.
2. To evaluate the effectiveness of AIS in improving cost accuracy and decision-making in manufacturing firms.
3. To provide recommendations on how manufacturing firms can optimize the use of AIS to better control costs.
Research Questions
1. How do accounting information systems affect cost control in manufacturing firms in Keffi LGA?
2. What are the key benefits of using AIS for cost control in manufacturing businesses?
3. What challenges do manufacturing firms face in implementing accounting information systems for cost management?
Research Hypotheses
1. H₀: Accounting information systems do not significantly improve cost control in manufacturing firms in Keffi LGA.
2. H₀: Manufacturing firms in Keffi LGA face no significant challenges in implementing accounting information systems for cost management.
Significance of the Study
This study will provide valuable insights into the role of accounting information systems in enhancing cost control practices within manufacturing firms. The findings will be beneficial for business owners, financial managers, and policymakers seeking to improve operational efficiency and profitability in the manufacturing sector.
Scope and Limitation of the Study
The study will focus on manufacturing firms in Keffi LGA, particularly those involved in consumer goods and industrial products. Limitations may include the availability of data on the cost management practices of these firms and the reluctance to share proprietary information about internal systems.
