Background of the Study
Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) face several challenges in financing, including poor financial management and inadequate access to credit. The adoption of Accounting Information Systems (AIS) in SMEs can improve financial management by providing accurate financial data, facilitating decision-making, and enhancing the credibility of SMEs to financial institutions. However, many SMEs in Keffi Local Government Area (LGA) face challenges in adopting AIS, which may limit their potential to grow and secure financing.
Statement of the Problem
While AIS offers significant benefits for SMEs, many SMEs in Keffi LGA are still reluctant to adopt these systems due to a variety of challenges, including high implementation costs, lack of technical skills, and resistance to change. This study will explore the barriers to AIS adoption in SME financing in Keffi LGA and evaluate the impact of these barriers on SME growth and access to finance.
