BUDGET RESOURCE MONITORING SYSTEM FOR CAGAYAN STATE UNIVERSITY – APARRI CAMPUS

Abstract

This study developed and evaluated a budget resource monitoring system tailored for the budget management needs of Cagayan State University – Aparri Campus. Focused on automating the monitoring of fund allocations and utilization. Using a descriptive-analytical developmental research design, the study applied Agile methodology for development and ISO 25010:2011 standards alongside the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) for evaluation. Nine budget officers and ten IT experts participated via purposive sampling. Data were collected through semi-structured interview, document reviews, and system assessments.

The Evaluations indicated high compliance with ISO standards with overall weighted mean of 3.46 and strong user acceptance regarding usefulness and ease of use with overall mean of 3.91. The CSU-Aparri is recommended to support its implementation and expansion, with further studies suggested to include more budget functions across all CSU campuses.
