Background of the Study
Accountability in public sector financial management is essential for ensuring that resources are used effectively and in accordance with established policies. Suru Local Government Area has faced challenges related to accountability in financial management due to manual systems and inadequate tracking of public funds. The introduction of an Accounting Information System (AIS) could improve financial transparency, automate processes, and ensure that public funds are properly accounted for. This study will investigate how AIS can enhance accountability in Suru LGA.
Statement of the Problem
