Abstract
This study investigates the impact of the Integrated Financial Management Information System (IFMIS) on the performance of higher education institutions, specifically Addis Ababa University (AAU). The research examines the effectiveness of IFMIS in enhancing financial management practices, improving transparency, and ensuring efficient resource allocation. It employs a mixed-methods approach, incorporating both qualitative and quantitative data, to evaluate the system's influence on various financial and administrative aspects of the university. Key findings indicate that IFMIS significantly contributes to better financial reporting, effective expenditure management, and improved transparency in the management of public funds. These improvements are linked to the overall performance of AAU, showcasing the importance of integrated financial systems in educational institutions. The study provides valuable insights for policymakers and educational administrators aiming to enhance financial management practices through the adoption of advanced information systems.
