Background of the Study
Government grants play a significant role in funding rural development projects, especially in areas like Gboko Local Government Area (LGA). However, the lack of effective monitoring systems has led to challenges in tracking the allocation and utilization of these grants. The adoption of an Accounting Information System (AIS) can provide a more transparent, efficient, and accountable approach to managing government grants for rural development.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the availability of government grants for rural development in Gboko LGA, there is often a lack of accountability and transparency in the way these funds are managed. This study will explore how the implementation of AIS can enhance the monitoring and management of government grants, ensuring that funds are used for their intended purposes.
