Background of the Study
Financial record-keeping is fundamental for accountability, transparency, and good governance in local governments. The integration of Accounting Information Systems (AIS) can significantly improve the accuracy, speed, and transparency of financial record-keeping. This study will examine the effectiveness of AIS in improving the financial record-keeping practices in local government areas.
Statement of the Problem
Local governments often struggle with maintaining accurate financial records due to manual processes, lack of proper systems, and inadequate infrastructure. AIS can automate record-keeping, reduce human errors, and provide real-time financial information, yet the effectiveness of AIS in improving financial record-keeping practices in LGAs has not been fully evaluated.
Aim and Objectives of the Study
Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of Accounting Information Systems in local government financial record-keeping.
Objectives:
-
To assess the current financial record-keeping practices in local governments.
-
To evaluate the role of AIS in improving accuracy, transparency, and efficiency in financial record-keeping.
-
To identify challenges and barriers in implementing AIS for financial record-keeping.
Research Questions
-
How are financial records currently maintained in local governments?
-
To what extent has AIS improved the accuracy and efficiency of financial record-keeping?
-
What challenges do local governments face in adopting AIS for financial record-keeping?
Research Hypothesis
-
H₀: AIS does not significantly improve the accuracy of financial record-keeping in local governments.
-
H₀: There are no significant barriers to the adoption of AIS for financial record-keeping in local governments.
Significance of the Study
This study will shed light on the role of AIS in enhancing financial record-keeping in local governments, which is essential for fostering transparency, accountability, and financial sustainability. The findings will be beneficial for LGAs considering the adoption or enhancement of AIS for better financial management.
Scope and Limitation of the Study
The study will focus on local governments that have implemented AIS in their financial record-keeping processes. Limitations may include resistance from local government employees to change existing record-keeping practices and difficulties in obtaining detailed data on AIS usage.
