Background of the Study
Financial decision-making in local government areas (LGAs) plays a crucial role in ensuring the efficient allocation of resources and achieving economic goals. Ganye LGA, like many others, has traditionally relied on manual accounting systems, which often lead to inaccuracies, delays, and poor decision-making. With the adoption of Accounting Information Systems (AIS), Ganye LGA has the potential to enhance the accuracy, speed, and effectiveness of its financial decision-making processes. This study will assess the effect of AIS on the quality of financial decision-making in Ganye LGA.
