Background of the Study
Financial accountability is essential for ensuring that public funds are managed effectively and efficiently at the local government level. Donga Local Government Area (LGA) has faced issues related to financial mismanagement, lack of transparency, and insufficient tracking of public funds. The adoption of an Accounting Information System (AIS) could enhance financial accountability by providing real-time financial data, promoting transparency, and reducing the risk of fraud. This study will explore how AIS can be used to improve financial accountability in Donga LGA.
