Background of the Study
The adoption of technology in accounting practices has revolutionized financial management in educational institutions worldwide. In secondary schools across Bayelsa State, technology-driven accounting systems have begun to replace traditional manual methods, offering increased efficiency, accuracy, and transparency. These systems use software tools to manage budgeting, financial reporting, payroll, and other accounting functions, enabling schools to better track their financial activities and ensure accountability (Ajayi & Eze, 2023). Despite the potential benefits of technology-driven accounting practices, their adoption in secondary schools in Bayelsa State has been relatively slow, due in part to limited technological infrastructure, inadequate training for staff, and resistance to change.
This study aims to explore the perception of technology-driven accounting practices in secondary schools in Bayelsa State, focusing on how teachers, administrators, and accounting staff view the adoption of such systems. Understanding these perceptions is crucial for the successful implementation of technology-driven accounting in schools, as resistance or lack of confidence in the technology can hinder its effective use. By examining the attitudes and experiences of stakeholders in Bayelsa State, this study will provide insights into the challenges and opportunities associated with integrating technology into school accounting practices.
Statement of the Problem The integration of technology-driven accounting practices in secondary schools in Bayelsa State has faced several challenges, including inadequate infrastructure, limited technical expertise, and resistance from staff. Despite the potential advantages, many schools continue to rely on manual accounting systems, which are prone to errors and inefficiencies. The perception of technology among key stakeholders—teachers, administrators, and accounting staff—plays a significant role in determining the success of its adoption. This study seeks to analyze the perceptions of these stakeholders regarding technology-driven accounting practices and identify factors that affect its successful implementation.
