Background of the Study
Financial resource allocation is a critical aspect of local government operations, ensuring that public funds are allocated efficiently across various sectors. In Yola North LGA, financial resource allocation has often been challenged by inefficiencies, lack of transparency, and misallocation of funds. An effective Accounting Information System (AIS) could automate the allocation process, improve decision-making, and ensure that resources are distributed in accordance with priorities. This study will explore the role of AIS in enhancing the financial resource allocation process in Yola North LGA.
