ABSTRACT The appalling financial management systems across all public organizations are the major setbacks influencing the economy.

The study adopted a quantitative approach, descriptive survey design and employed a regression analysis to determine the impact of GIFMIS on accountability. The findings from the study of a sample size of 316 indicated that, there is a negative relationship between implementation process and accountability. The study further revealed that, there is a significant positive relationship between implementation structures and accountability as well as a positive significant relationship between factors influencing GIFMIS implementation and accountability. With reference to the findings, the study draws the following implications, that are useful to government and other stakeholders involve.
