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.
Statement of the Problem
Cooperative societies in Birnin Kebbi LGA are often challenged by inadequate financial management systems, leading to poor record-keeping, delayed reporting, and misallocation of resources. The implementation of AIS could address these challenges, but its effectiveness has not been thoroughly investigated in the context of cooperative societies in the area.
