Background of the Study
Efficient budgeting is essential for the proper allocation of resources in local government operations. Accounting Information Systems (AIS) can improve budgetary efficiency by automating budget preparation, tracking expenditures, and ensuring that financial resources are allocated according to priorities. This study will assess how AIS is used to enhance budgetary efficiency in Akwanga Local Government Area (LGA).
Statement of the Problem
Despite the potential advantages of AIS, Akwanga LGA faces issues with budgetary inefficiencies, such as poor allocation of resources, delayed financial reports, and lack of accountability. The role of AIS in addressing these challenges has not been fully explored, which this study aims to address.
Aim and Objectives of the Study
Aim: To assess the role of Accounting Information Systems in enhancing budgetary efficiency in Akwanga Local Government Area.
Objectives:
To evaluate how AIS has been implemented in budget preparation and management in Akwanga LGA.
To assess the impact of AIS on budgetary efficiency.
To identify challenges in the use of AIS for budgeting and propose solutions.
