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.

This study will investigate how AIS can enhance accountability in Suru LGA.
