Background of the Study
The financial sector has undergone significant changes due to the rapid advancements in digital technologies. Digital transformation has redefined traditional budgeting processes, enabling organizations to achieve greater accuracy, efficiency, and agility. In the context of Access Bank Plc, the integration of digital tools and platforms into budgeting has streamlined operations and enhanced decision-making. Technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, and cloud-based financial systems have improved the bank’s ability to forecast, monitor, and adjust budgets in real-time (Adebayo & Johnson, 2023).
Budgeting, traditionally a time-intensive process, has been revolutionized by digital transformation, allowing for data-driven insights and predictive analytics. These changes are critical in a competitive banking environment where agility and precision are paramount (Okeke et al., 2024). Despite its advantages, digital transformation poses challenges, including high implementation costs, staff resistance, and cybersecurity risks.
This study examines how digital transformation has impacted the budgeting processes at Access Bank Plc, highlighting its benefits, challenges, and future potential.
Statement of the Problem
Access Bank Plc operates in a highly competitive and dynamic financial environment, where traditional budgeting methods often fail to meet the demands of real-time decision-making and operational agility. Although digital transformation offers opportunities to enhance budgeting processes, its adoption in many Nigerian banks, including Access Bank, faces challenges such as inadequate digital infrastructure, skill gaps, and concerns over data security (Olowe & Adekunle, 2025).
These issues hinder the full integration of digital technologies into budgeting, resulting in inefficiencies and missed opportunities for optimization. This study seeks to address these challenges by evaluating the effect of digital transformation on the bank’s budgeting processes.
