The study used a mixed research approach targeting 234 employees of the organization that were selected using simple random sampling. Questionnaires, and secondary sources were used to collect the data. To examine the effect of independent variables on dependent variables, multiple linear regressions and correlation were used. The finding indicated that ICT infrastructure on IFMIS implementation β .350, t (5.026) p=.000; human resource development and capacity building on, IFMIS implementation β= .219, t (3.768) p=.000, p=.000; management support effect on IFMIS implementation. β=. 228, t (4.168), p=000, end user commitment on IFMIS implementation of the system used by the company β= -.111, t (-2134) p=.034 and on going support on IFMIS implementation β=.170, t (2.589) p=.010 showing all hypotheses were accepted.
