Background of the Study
Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) is crucial for the financial sustainability of local governments. Accurate tracking and management of IGR can enhance transparency and reduce financial mismanagement. Accounting Information Systems (AIS) can play a significant role in tracking IGR efficiently by providing real-time data and streamlining financial processes. This study will explore how AIS is used in Lafia Local Government Area (LGA) to track and manage IGR and its impact on financial transparency and accountability.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the potential benefits of AIS in enhancing IGR tracking, Lafia LGA faces challenges in the effective use and implementation of these systems. These challenges include inadequate technical infrastructure, low capacity in terms of staff training, and resistance to change. The study aims to identify how AIS can improve IGR tracking in Lafia LGA and what barriers hinder its effectiveness.
Aim and Objectives of the Study
Aim: To assess the role of Accounting Information Systems in tracking Internally Generated Revenue in Lafia Local Government Area.
Objectives:
To evaluate the current methods of IGR tracking in Lafia LGA.
