Background of the Study
Cooperative societies play a vital role in economic development, particularly in rural areas like Birnin Kebbi LGA. However, financial mismanagement remains a challenge in many cooperatives, affecting their sustainability and growth. The introduction of an Accounting Information System (AIS) could enhance financial management by improving record-keeping, monitoring, and reporting. This study will evaluate the effectiveness of AIS in managing cooperative society finances in Birnin Kebbi LGA.
