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).
