Abstract | The public sector in Zimbabwe has undergone a significant transformation as technology has been increasingly integrated into its accounting practices. This study examines the pivotal role of technology in reshaping public sector accounting in the country. The research highlights the various digital tools and systems, such as Integrated Financial Management Information Systems (IFMIS), automated auditing processes, and electronic payment systems, and analyses their impact on governance, transparency, and operational efficiency. The findings suggest that the adoption of these technological solutions has led to notable progress in the public sector accounting landscape in Zimbabwe. However, the study also identifies significant challenges, including inadequate infrastructure, a skills gap among public sector employees, and resistance to change within the institutions. To address these challenges and maximize the benefits of technological integration, the study provides a set of recommendations. These include investments in infrastructure development, comprehensive training programs to upskill public sector personnel, and the implementation of change management strategies to foster a more receptive environment for technological adoption. By addressing these critical factors, Zimbabwe can further leverage technology to enhance the effectiveness, transparency, and accountability of its public sector accounting practices. |
