The economy of Bangladeshi is growing fast. Therefore, the need for the branchless companies is increasing. However, the number of the branchless banks are not increasing much in this economic growing country. In this regard, this study aims to conceptualise the opportunities and implementation challenges in the process of branchless banking in Bangladesh. The study provides the background literature justifying the need for the study. This study also articulates the rationale of the study followed by the objectives. Furthermore, the solid research gap has been developed and presented in the literature review of the study. The study also provides the explanation on the methodology to be adopted for the accomplishment of the research.

The central construct of this paper is to bring an authentic version of the multifaceted view of intellectual capital (IC) for firm performance through a conceptual framework in the context of Bangladesh's readymade garment (RMG) industries. A company's performance is substantially reliant on the availability of knowledge-related resources, such as IC, in a knowledge-based economy. This paper's methodology emphasizes the theoretical framework connected with IC to demonstrate the research gaps extracted from preceding literature. However, the study's initial outcome is that a plethora of literature considers the traditional three elements (human capital, structural capital, and relational capital) of IC, while little is known about the role of social capital distinctively in Bangladesh. The core conception of the "intellectual capital-based view" proposes that the firm's wealth depends on the divergent perspective of IC, which leads to superior firm Performance. This paper suggests practical guidelines to aid organizations focus on the potential utilization of IC using the conceptual links between knowledge-based assets and organizational performance. The proposed research model may inspire a novel research agenda on how multifaceted IC dimensions are inevitable to foster firm performance, specifically in RMG companies in Bangladesh. The rationale for selecting RMG companies is that this industry requires a comprehensive framework to transition from a labor-intensive to an information-intensive industry. This paper also highlights some ground rules for top management to achieve the maximum benefits of IC and add practical value to the organization.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of applying International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) on accounting information quality. Recent research has found positive outcomes in IPSAS and accounting information quality (Bakhtah & Ammar, 2019). However, because IPSAS is a new product, there is still a lot to learn and explore about it. In Libya's government sector, the study population included a number of board directors, non-audited members, internal auditors, accountants, and department heads from various departments of government. They were given 400 questionnaires, and their responses were analysed with SPSS and PLS-SEM. The four independent criteria (ensuring good governance, disclosure, board of directors’ responsibilities, and the preservation of shareholder rights) had a significant impact on the quality of accounting information among Libyan bank workers. The authors suggest a future study agenda and highlight contributions to knowledge, namely auditing literature and accounting information quality literature. The findings indicate that the implementation of IPSAS will have an impact on an external audit in Libya. External audit reports are standardised by IPSAS, and external audit notes are influenced by it. Following the deployment of IPSAS, Libyan audit firms will collaborate with global audit firms to gain experience auditing IPSAS-prepared financial statements. This will strengthen the external auditors' judgments and knowledge of global accounting standards. Keywords: Governance, Disclosure, IPSAS, Government, Quality of information, Accounting

Electric energy companies in developing countries face challenges such as low employee organizational commitment, which affects productivity and performance, thereby limiting the ability to fulfill the necessary obligations towards citizens. Therefore, this study aims to examine the effects of organizational commitment on non-financial performance in the electricity sector in the context of developing countries. The quantitative approach was used in this research to achieve the study's objectives. The data of the study were collected from 408 respondents and analyzed in two steps; the first step is the assessment of the measurement via Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) while the second step is the testing of the developed hypotheses for the study using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). The outcome of the study showed a direct positive and significant impact of organizational commitment on organizational performance. The limitations of this study and some recommendations for future research were also presented in this study.

E--accounting is referred as the internet based accounting software usage in performing accounting functions. Responding to the evidence that Bangladesh’s top business sector, Ready-made Garments (RMG) factories largely using e-accounting, the study is aimed to explore the scenario of the practice in those factories. To achieve these objectives, the study deploys mixed research strategy constructed with interview and survey. Based on the prevailed e-accounting literature, and interview with user RMG factories authority and vendors, structured questionnaire was formed for the survey. This firm level study considers 3552 listed RMG factories as the population. Using G-power 3.1 sample size calculating software, considering smaller effect size f2=0.04, the study has taken 300 sampled factories both of woven, knit, composite and sweater. The study conducted interview using semi-structured interview schedule at convenient way. Also using convenience sampling technique, a survey on sampled factories was executed with the use of structured questionnaire. Survey respondents were the policy level personnel of RMG factory such as owners, managing directors, executive director, factory manager, and or chief accountants. IBM SPSS 20.0 has been used to analyze survey data. Using descriptive statistics, the collected data was presented and analyzed. The study reveals that about 86% RMG factories are using internet based accounting solution for performing accounting, inventory and payroll functions. The study also results that ERP usage is more than that of stand-alone accounting software modules and private cloud usage is more popular in RMG sector than that of public, hybrid or community cloud. This study also finds that knit sector remains ahead in using e-accounting and sweater factories is slightly back in e-accounting implementation. The study bears the significance to the RMG factories and other cloud applications users. Keywords: E-Accounting, Online accounting solution usage, Ready-made Garments Industry, Bangladesh
