Background of the Study
Cooperative societies in Billiri Local Government Area (LGA) face challenges in managing their financial activities due to reliance on manual accounting systems, leading to inefficiencies and inaccuracies in financial reporting. The implementation of Accounting Information Systems (AIS) can help streamline financial operations, improve transparency, and support decision-making. However, many cooperative societies face obstacles in adopting these systems, including financial constraints, technical expertise, and resistance to change.

Despite the potential benefits of AIS, cooperative societies in Billiri LGA continue to struggle with inadequate financial management practices due to challenges in implementing these systems. This study aims to explore the barriers and challenges faced by these societies in adopting and implementing AIS effectively.
