Background of the Study
Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Sardauna Local Government Area (LGA) face several challenges in adopting modern financial management practices, particularly in integrating Accounting Information Systems (AIS). While AIS can significantly enhance financial accuracy and decision-making for SMEs, many businesses in the region continue to rely on manual accounting processes. The adoption of AIS in SMEs has been slow due to various barriers, such as cost, technical expertise, and resistance to change. This study will examine the challenges faced by SMEs in Sardauna LGA when adopting AIS.
