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.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the potential of AIS to improve financial decision-making, Ganye LGA faces challenges such as limited knowledge, inadequate infrastructure, and resistance to change in implementing these systems. There is limited understanding of how AIS influences financial decision-making in this local government area.
