Background of the Study
Financial inclusion is a key factor in reducing poverty and fostering economic growth, particularly in rural areas. Accounting Information Systems (AIS) can facilitate financial inclusion by improving access to financial services and promoting better financial management in rural regions. This study will explore how AIS can enhance financial inclusion in rural Northern Nigeria.
Statement of the Problem
Rural Northern Nigeria faces significant barriers to financial inclusion, including limited access to banking services, lack of financial literacy, and inadequate infrastructure. AIS can play a role in addressing these barriers by providing transparent financial management and accessible financial services.
Aim and Objectives of the Study
Aim: To assess the role of AIS in enhancing financial inclusion in rural Northern Nigeria.
Objectives:
To explore the current state of financial inclusion in rural Northern Nigeria.
To evaluate how AIS can improve financial services access and management.
To identify challenges faced by rural communities in adopting AIS for financial inclusion.
