Background of the Study
Local government budget preparation is a critical process for ensuring proper allocation of resources. In Yauri LGA, the budgeting process has traditionally been manual, which can lead to inefficiencies, errors, and delays. Integrating an Accounting Information System (AIS) in budget preparation could streamline the process, improve accuracy, and enhance financial planning. This study will explore the integration of AIS in the budgeting process in Yauri LGA.
