Financial accountability is essential for good governance, especially in local governments where public funds are involved. The role of Accounting Information Systems (AIS) in enhancing financial accountability has been widely recognized. AIS can automate financial reporting, track fund allocation, and ensure that public funds are used efficiently and for their intended purposes. This study will assess the effectiveness of AIS in enhancing financial accountability in Lokoja Local Government Area (LGA).
