Background of the Study
Agricultural subsidy programs are designed to support farmers and boost agricultural productivity. However, ineffective monitoring of these programs can lead to inefficiencies, misallocation of funds, and corruption. Hong Local Government Area has faced challenges in managing and monitoring agricultural subsidies. The use of Accounting Information Systems (AIS) can help track the distribution of subsidies, ensure transparency, and improve the effectiveness of these programs. This study will investigate the role of AIS in monitoring agricultural subsidy programs in Hong LGA.
Statement of the Problem
There are concerns over the mismanagement and inefficient allocation of agricultural subsidies in Hong LGA, largely due to the lack of automated systems for tracking and monitoring these funds. The potential for AIS to improve transparency and accountability in subsidy programs has not been adequately explored.
Aim and Objectives of the Study
Aim: To assess the role and effectiveness of Accounting Information Systems in monitoring agricultural subsidy programs in Hong Local Government Area.
Objectives:
To evaluate the current system for monitoring agricultural subsidy programs in Hong LGA.
To examine how AIS can improve the tracking and distribution of agricultural subsidies.
To identify the challenges and benefits of integrating AIS into agricultural subsidy monitoring in Hong LGA.
