Background of the Study
Development grants are crucial for funding projects aimed at improving social infrastructure and reducing poverty. However, transparency in the management of these funds is often lacking, leading to inefficiencies, mismanagement, and corruption. Accounting Information Systems (AIS) can improve transparency by offering real-time financial data, reducing errors, and promoting accountability. This study will explore how AIS contributes to the transparency of development grants management.
Statement of the Problem
The management of development grants in many regions faces challenges such as poor tracking of funds, lack of transparency, and misuse of resources. While AIS can help mitigate these challenges, the full potential of AIS in enhancing the transparency of grant management has not been adequately explored, particularly in the context of development projects.
Aim and Objectives of the Study
Aim: To investigate the role of AIS in promoting transparency in development grants management.
Objectives:
To assess the current state of development grant management in local and regional institutions.
To evaluate the effectiveness of AIS in ensuring transparent financial reporting and fund tracking.
To identify the challenges and barriers to implementing AIS in the management of development grants.
Research Questions
How are development grants currently managed in terms of financial reporting?
To what extent does AIS improve transparency in development grants management?
What are the challenges faced by institutions in adopting AIS for grant management?
Research Hypothesis
H₀: AIS does not significantly improve transparency in development grants management.
H₀: There are no significant barriers to implementing AIS in development grants management.
Significance of the Study
This study will provide insights into the role of AIS in enhancing transparency and accountability in the management of development grants, which is vital for achieving effective development outcomes and reducing financial mismanagement.
Scope and Limitation of the Study
The study will focus on selected institutions involved in the management of development grants. Limitations may include access to data regarding grant management practices and AIS implementation challenges.
