Background of the Study
Efficient financial management is a cornerstone of public sector governance, enabling governments to allocate resources effectively and promote transparency. Integrated Financial Management Information Systems (IFMIS) have emerged as critical tools for streamlining public sector accounting processes, improving budgetary control, and enhancing financial reporting (Adeleke & Ajayi, 2024).
In Ogun State, the adoption of IFMIS reflects an effort to address inefficiencies in public financial management. While its implementation has yielded improvements in areas such as financial accountability and expenditure tracking, challenges remain, including issues with system integration and user adoption. This study explores the impact of IFMIS on public sector accounting in Ogun State.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the promise of IFMIS in enhancing public financial management, many governments face challenges in fully realizing its benefits. Ogun State’s experience reveals inconsistencies in system use, limited technical expertise, and infrastructural deficits, which hinder its potential (Okoro & Bello, 2023).
The lack of comprehensive studies on the system's impact on public sector accounting in Ogun State necessitates an investigation into its effectiveness, challenges, and areas for improvement.

- To evaluate the impact of IFMIS on public sector accounting in Ogun State.
- To identify the challenges associated with implementing IFMIS in Ogun State.
- To propose strategies for improving IFMIS adoption and functionality.

Scope and Limitations of the Study
The study focuses on the use of IFMIS in Ogun State’s public sector accounting between 2023 and 2025. Limitations include access to comprehensive data on system performance and the variability of stakeholder perspectives.
