Abstract
The objective of this study is to evaluate how Accounting and Information Systems (AIS) enhance financial management practices in educational institutions. This project explores the role of AIS in enhancing the financial management practices of educational institutions. The study is descriptive in nature and employs a quantitative approach. Data were collected and analyzed to explore various factors associated with the performance of the accounting information system in these institutions. To this end, both primary and secondary data were utilized. This study is based on a sample of 60 employees working in different educational institutions within Sylhet Metropolitan City. Convenience sampling, a non-probability sampling method, was used to select the sample size. Collected data were reviewed and analyzed using SPSS 22. A semi-structured questionnaire with 11 variables was administered to collect data from respondents. Responses were measured on a 5 point Likert scale ranging from "strongly disagree" to "strongly agree." The study demonstrates the effectiveness of AIS implementation in optimizing financial processes within the institution. It also identifies integration opportunities within financial management to assess areas for improvement, evaluates challenges in the implementation and utilization of AIS, and reveals positive feedback from respondents. This study contributes to the existing body of knowledge by offering insights and recommendations that can inform future AIS implementation strategies in educational institutions. The ultimate aim of this paper is to improve financial decision-making processes and optimize resource allocation in educational institutions through the effective utilization of AIS.
