Background of the Study
Rural development programs aim to improve the living standards of communities in rural areas. However, these programs often face issues of inefficiency, financial mismanagement, and lack of transparency. The implementation of Accounting Information Systems (AIS) can provide real-time tracking of funds, improve transparency, and ensure that resources are appropriately allocated. This study will explore how AIS is used to monitor rural development programs in Karu Local Government Area (LGA).
Statement of the Problem
Despite the significance of rural development programs in improving the lives of rural communities, there are concerns regarding the mismanagement of funds and lack of proper monitoring. The application of AIS has the potential to solve these challenges, but its current adoption and effectiveness in Karu LGA are not well understood.
Aim and Objectives of the Study
Aim: To assess the role of Accounting Information Systems in monitoring rural development programs in Karu Local Government Area.
Objectives:
To evaluate how AIS is integrated into the monitoring of rural development programs in Karu LGA.
To assess the effectiveness of AIS in improving transparency and accountability in these programs.
To identify challenges in using AIS for rural development program monitoring.
