Background of the Study
Accounting Information Systems (AIS) can play a significant role in strengthening local government budgets by improving transparency, reducing errors, and enhancing efficiency. However, many local governments face challenges in implementing these systems effectively. This study will explore the challenges and prospects of AIS in local government budgeting.
Statement of the Problem
Local governments often struggle with budgeting due to inefficiencies, errors, and lack of transparency. AIS offers a potential solution, but there are significant challenges in implementing these systems effectively in the context of local government budgeting.
Aim and Objectives of the Study
Aim: To explore the challenges and prospects of AIS in strengthening local government budgets.
Objectives:
To assess the role of AIS in local government budget preparation and implementation.

To explore the prospects of AIS in improving local government budgeting.
Research Questions
What role does AIS play in local government budget preparation and management?
What challenges do local governments face in adopting AIS for budgeting?
What are the prospects of using AIS to strengthen local government budgets?
Research Hypothesis
H₀: AIS does not significantly strengthen local government budgets.
