Abstract

This research aims to analyze the impact of e-government implementation on the development of the government accounting information system by investigating the role of digital technologies in enhancing the efficiency, accuracy, and reliability of financial data. The research is based on the hypothesis that the shift towards electronic automation contributes to improving the quality of accounting information and supports its ability to provide real-time and transparent financial reports, thus contributing to raising the level of financial management. The researcher adopted a descriptive-analytical approach, using a questionnaire administered to a sample of professors specializing in accounting and information technology, with the aim of measuring the extent of e-government's contribution to the development of accounting information systems. The study's findings concluded that the implementation of e-government had a positive and effective impact on the development of the government accounting information system, as it contributed to reducing manual errors, accelerating processing operations, and enhancing the accuracy and transparency of accounting reports.
