The purpose of this empirical study is to investigate two things: a) the impact of domestic economic activities falling sharply due to the COVID-19 pandemic on micro and small industries (MSIs) throughout 2020, and (b) the forms of crisis mitigation measures (CMMs) adopted by crisis-affected MSIs. The study evaluates the importance of four components, namely capital, collaboration, cooperation, and digital technology (DT), using data from the Quarterly MSI Survey (QMSIS) 2020, which included 24,000 respondents (owners of MSIs) from around the country. It provides two key findings: (1) The most popular form of CMMs adopted by crisis-affected MSIs was those that produce other goods whose demand remains high during the pandemic, and (2) The most popular form of CMMs adopted by crisis-affected MSIs was those that produce other goods whose demand remains high during the pandemic with a positive regression coefficient according to theory and significant, suggesting that it was an important determinant of MSIs’ resilience. Combined with online sales, this form of CMM has greatly helped many MSIs survive the crisis. The findings have practical implications, including that government stimulus policy during a crisis must complement and correspond with the CMMs adopted by the target MSMEs, therefore, different forms of CMMs in response to different business risks need different policy approaches and stimulus packages. At least in Indonesia, this is the first attempt to empirically examine the impact of the economic crisis due to the COVID-19 on MSIs and explore their CMM by analyzing data from a national survey. In its originality, the findings of this study add to the small business literature, especially studies on the impact of the economic crisis on business.

The main objective of the study was to compare management disruptions and business growth in both public and private sector enterprises. It involved four public sectors and four private sector enterprises, which comprised 221 respondents from staff and management of the enterprises as the sample size for the study. A stratified sampling technique was adopted for the study. Validated structured questionnaires were used for data collection. The statistical techniques adopted for processing the data and testing the hypotheses for this study were comparing mean using independent samples t-test via the use of statistical package for social science (SPSS) software version 21. Descriptive statistics and frequency analysis was used to explain the tables of the various variables. The mean response was tested using a student t-test. The findings of the study revealed that personal values which is the first variable revealed that there is no significant difference in ethical leadership and business growth between the Public and Private enterprises (Sig = .728, P>0.05). Similarly, Social values which is the second variable showed that there is no significant difference in management disruptions and business growth between the Public and Privateenterprises (Sig =.238, P>0.05). Moral values which is the third variable showed that there is also no significant difference in management disruptions and business growth between the Public and Private enterprises (Sig =.007,P>0.05). The study concluded that the leadership of the public and private enterprise should have the ethical values, interpersonal qualities and capabilities to carry out the different tasks as needed by the organizations. Hence, the study recommended that the efforts in promoting management disruptions practices in public and private enterprises must start and be perceptible at the top of the organization.

The study investigated the effect of accrual estimates on earnings persistence of listed consumer and industrial goods firms in Nigeria. The study employed the ex post facto research design and was anchored on the Signaling Theory. It proxy accounting estimates (being the independent variable) using depreciation estimates, intangible assets estimates, current tax estimates, and pension liability estimates earnings persistence (the dependent variable) was measured using earnings per share. The study used a sample of 25 out of the 33 listed consumer and industrial goods companies’ in Nigeria. These were purposively selected. The data collected and used for the study was for a period of 7 years from 2013 to 2019. The Panel Multiple Regression Technique was employed in testing the hypotheses formulated. Descriptive and correlational analysis were also carried out. The results indicated that accrual estimates, jointly, was significant in influencing earnings persistence at 5% significant level. The study concluded that accrual manipulations influenced persistence of listed consumer and industrial goods firms. It was also recommended that the provisions of IAS 16 should be followed when estimating depreciation so that it does not affect the way performance is measured. Secondly, since the estimated amount of Intangible assets has significant effect on the earnings persistence of listed firms, they should estimate it with optimality and reasonability since affects the performance. Thirdly, since current tax estimates have significant positive effectson both the earnings persistence in Nigeria, it means that firms should be mindful when estimating current tax, as this could affect the way their performance is measured. And finally it was recommended that pension liabilities also should be estimated using the provisions of IAS 19, since it does not have significant effects on the earnings per share of listed consumer and industrial goods firms in Nigeria.

This study examined the effect of financial intermediation by microfinance banks on the output of agricultural sector in Nigeria between 1992 and 2018. Data were collected in this study from the secondary sources and analyzed by means of inferential statistics. Specifically, the study employed Vector Error Correction model technique in data analysis after establishing the stationarity of the data series by means of Augmented Dickney-Fuller test and determined long run equilibrium relationship via Johansen cointegration technique.Findings from this study revealed that in the long-run, there was a positive and significant relationship between microfinance banks’ credits to agriculture and the output of agricultural sector in Nigeria as MCA was found to be positively promoting agricultural output by about 2.7%. Also, micro-finance banks’ gross saving deposit (MGSD) was found to have negative and significant relationship with agricultural output both in the short-run and in the long-run. Moreover, the deposit interest rate was found in this study to exhibit positive behavior in the short run but negative and significant relationship with agricultural output in the long-run. The lending interest rate by finding of this study negatively facilitated agricultural output in the short run but maintained positive relationship with agricultural output in the long run.Based on these findings, it was concluded that financial intermediation by microfinance banks was an insignificant determinant of agricultural output in Nigeria.Consequently, it was recommended that microfinance banks should be brought under close monitoring and supervision by the monetary authorities to ensure that significant portion of their deposits is not left fallowed and unproductive but optimally converted to credits for lending, especially to the grassroots farmers who lack investable capital for agricultural investment.

The goal of this research was to look into the relationship between corporate social responsibility and financial performance by doing a comparative analysis of listed Deposit Money Banks in Nigeria and Ghana from 2009 to 2018. In the study, secondary data from yearly reports, descriptive statistics, and the hausman test were used. The first objective was met by utilizing graphs to explain the trend of CSR donations in Nigeria and Ghanaian listed deposit money banks. Panel regression was used to achieve goal two. It was discovered in Nigeria and Ghana that there is a negative and significant relationship between corporate social responsibility and DMB financial performance. According to the research, listed deposit money banks should create a department to manage their companies' expenditure in connection to the allowed budget for CSR donations and the company's earnings.Furthermore, the Central Bank of Nigeria and the Bank of Ghana should limit the sums of money donated to corporate social responsibility activities by listed deposit money institutions to avoid excessive amounts being committed to CSR courses in the name of gratifying stakeholders. It also advocated that listed deposit money banks spend moderately on CSR courses to guarantee that they continue in excellent financial health and long-term viability.

The aim of this study is to analyse the relationship between financial liberalization, financial development and economic growth in Cameroon. Use is made of a tri- variate VAR model on Cameroon data for the period 1973- 2017. The results obtained show that financial liberalisation and financial development positively affect economic growth. Though financial development does not individually cause economic growth, when considered with financial liberalisation, they jointly cause economic growth.Financial liberalisation and economic growth are individually and jointly found to granger cause financial development. Financial development causes financial liberalisation while economic growth causes financial liberalisation only when jointly considered with financial development. The impulse response functions reveal that economic growth positively responds to both financial development and financial liberalisation though the effect of financial development soon fates out to become negative.Financial development is found to positively react to innovations in financial liberalisation and negatively to economic growth.As concerns financial liberalisation, it negatively responds to financial development and positively to economic growth. Also,variance decomposition reveals that variations in economic growth are mostly explained by its past values, followed by financial liberalisation and finally financial development. Financial development on its part is also mostly explained by its past values followed by financial liberalisation and finally economic growth. Based on all these, the policy recommendation we make is that the on-going financial liberalisation process in the country should be enhanced in view of permitting the financial sector to efficiently play its role in the growth process of the country.

With the abrupt change across the globe spurred on by the novel coronavirus, online learning has emerged as a potential alternative for the worldwide education sector. Prior to COVID-19, amidst the surge in popularity of online learning with the advent of the internet and technological advances, students preferred conventional face-to-face learning over online learning. The objective of this research was to see how students perceived online learning during the COVID-19 epidemic. Out of the 105 responses obtained through an online survey, we were able to establish a significant association between demographical characteristics with the factors of student perception with the use of Chi-Square analysis. We used Correlation and Regression analysis to see how the independent factors of Online experience, interaction, learning design, tools and technology, social presence, and attitude related to the dependent variable of Student Perception. The findings revealed that interaction was highly correlated with students' perceptions and that it was also the most essential element among the others.

This paper assessed the impact of Audit fees and Audit tenure on the Financial Reporting of quoted natural resource firms in Nigeria. Five (5) cited natural resource firms in Nigeria were selected to achieve this objective. The study used secondary data which is from the annual reports of the established sampled natural resource firms for ten (10) financial years (2010-2019).Financial reporting is used as the study's dependent variable and was regressed using audit fees alongside Audit tenure. In contrast, the firm size is an independent variable using the standard least regression method (OLS) to test the hypothesis. Thestudy's outcomes indicated that audit fee has a positive and significant relationship with financial reporting quality, while audit tenure also has a positive but insignificant relationship with financial reporting quality, Firm size, is only significantly associated with financial reporting quality. The study found that the higher audit fees have the likelihood of compromising auditors' independence, thereby leading to lower financial reporting quality. The study recommend that regulators of the audit practice to establish measures that can be used to regulates and monitor the pricing process of the audit so that to ensure a balance thatwould eliminate over-charging and or under-charging of the audit fees which evidence reveals could impair the independence of the auditor, thereby impact financial reporting quality of an entity.
