Current problem of tackling poverty in China has been effectively solved, and the scale of the poor has been greatly reduced. However, the task of achieving comprehensive poverty alleviation across the country in 2020 remains daunting. Financial poverty alleviation strategies, especially vigorously developing inclusive finance is one of the effective ways to achieve comprehensive poverty alleviation. This paper aims to test whether inclusive finance policies has positive effects on our poverty alleviation work. We select nine provinces panel data, constructing the inclusive financial index in three dimensions: financial support, permeability, and accessibility. Based on the calculated inclusive financial index, this paper establishes a regression with income poverty, educational poverty and medical poverty as explained variables, inclusive financial index as explanatory variable, and control variables such as economic growth, local education level, and local medical level. The results show that the level of inclusive financial development has a significant positive impact on the income poverty. However, when it comes to educational and medical poverty alleviation, the improvement of the inclusive financial level in a short period does not reflect obvious promotion effects, but has negative impacts. Finally, we suggest the government that continuously improve the accessibility of inclusive financial services; increase the distribution of outlets of inclusive financial institutions, specifically by adding inclusive financial institutions, ATMs, financial poverty alleviation service stations, etc.; and constantly improve financial infrastructure to better provide financial services and improve the availability of inclusive financial services.

The role of external debt in economic growth of developing countries has been questioned since there has been a high incidence of default, low economic growth and high levels of poverty, all of which are associated with high stocks of external debt. Also, the uncertainties about country external debt sustainability position as well as whether countries are already trapped in the debt-overhang situation have underlined point of debate among scholars. This study investigates the dynamic relationship between external debt and economic growth of Nigeria for period of 1985 to 2017 using Johansen approach to cointegration, vector error correction model (VECM) and granger causality test. Data for the study was collected from the CBN statistical bulletin. The findings revealed that debt service payment has negative and insignificant impact on Nigeria’s economic growth while external debt stock has negative and significant effect on economic growth. The causality test indicates no-directional causality between external debt and GDP. From the findings, the study recommends that policy-makers should reformulate the external debt management strategy to minimize sovereign risk through diversification of the external borrowing. This could potentially be achieved by reducing the dependency on one specific debt instrument or currency. Hence, the strategy will be effective if it is carried out in parallel with a comprehensive surveillance and debt-monitoring system.

Since 2015, Chinese governments at all levels have been advancing high-frequency tax and charges reduction, and the frequency of charges reductions is surprising. China has continuously deepened reform of tax-sharing system, constantly expanding local government power and increasing economic vitality. In order to promote the sustained and healthy development of China's economy, we should maintain a reasonable scale of government charges, adjust the charges range of the central and local governments, and further improve China's fiscal decentralization system and government charges management mechanism. In this paper, it mainly researches two-way interactive effect between financial decentralization and public service charges. The data of 31 provinces in China from 1999 to 2017 was used to construct the simultaneous equations model for financial decentralization and public service charges, and then the empirical test was carried out for the interactive effect between the two with 3sls method. The research results show that there is a positive interaction between financial decentralization and public service charges. That is, the public service charges is decreased with the increase of the degree of financial decentralization. Local governments gain more power, lower fees and promote economic development. The degree of financial decentralization is increased with the decrease of public service charges. Lower fees mean less government intervention in the economy and the degree of decentralization increases. In addition, the effect degree of the control variables related to financial decentralization and public service charges was analyzed in this paper.

In order to promote the fiduciary responsibility of the public sector and strengthen the effective management of government assets, the Chinese governments at all levels should not only prepare reports on state-owned assets, but also prepare comprehensive financial reports based on accrual basis after 2020. The authenticity and reliability of government assets information directly affect the effective implementation of these two reforms, and the quality of assets information is highly dependent on the accrual basis of accounting measurement and reporting. Accrual basis accounting and reporting are relatively mature and scientific technology in business. China attempts to apply this business approach directly to public sector measurement and reporting of government assets. However, there is a natural difference between government assets and commercial assets. Asset measurement and reporting techniques are more complex in the practice of public sector asset management. From four dimensions of concept, scope, method selection and implementation effect, this article analysis asset identification, asset value, assets cost allocation and asset report path, and draw lessons from international experience, combined with China's actual situation, analysis the problems existing in the government assets measurement and reporting. In order to provide effective asset management reform must practice guidance, the article put forward the corresponding solution path.

Non-performing Loans (NPLs) are those loans of the banks’ from which they are no longer able to receive interest or overdue principal payments. NPL can affect the balance sheet of banks by decreasing banks’ profitability as bank cannot generate interest income from their NPLs. Banks’ may have to face capital erosion due to higher level of NPL. Due to interconnectedness of banking sector with the overall financial system and the economy, there may have ripple effects throughout the financial system thereby adding to financial instability. The percentage of NPLs to total outstanding loans in Bangladesh was 9.3% in 2017. The aim of this paper is to investigate the causal relationship and the direction of causality between economic growth Gross Domestic Product Growth Rate (GDPGR) and the level of NPLs (NPLR) in Bangladesh using annual data covering the period from 2000 to 2017 within a vector autoregressive (VAR) framework using Toda-Yamamoto method. The main merit of the Toda-Yamamoto procedure is that it can be used irrespective of whether the time series in the system are integrated of different orders or non-cointegrated or both. The order of integration of the variables is initially determined using Augmented Dickey Fuller (ADF) unit root tests. The tests reveal that the maximum order of integration for the variables in the system is one. Applying Toda-Yamamoto approach of Granger causality test, an evidence of a unidirectional causality running from NPLR to GDPGR in Bangladesh is found. This research is expected to come out with good findings which will have implications for the policy makers, regulatory authorities and professionals.

Earnings management occurs during which financial reports are prepared using judgment in order to mislead the stakeholders about the underlying economic performance of the company, or to influence contractual outcomes that are based on the reported earnings. This indicates that managements have incentives to manipulate the earnings in the purpose of maximizing the wealth of the company and/or the manager. This study employed the panel least squares while assuming fixed effects to test the effect of accrual-based earnings management on share prices of ten (10) sectors purposively sampled for twelve (12) years (2006 – 2017) and resulting in one hundred and fifteen (115) observations. The findings of DAA (Discretionary Adjustment Accrual) been positive and significant conforms with prior studies that distinguishes earnings management based on discretionary accruals. This suggests that discretionary accruals adjustment provides managers in Nigerian quoted firms the opportunities to manipulate earnings and hence share prices.

This study examines the impact of interest rate on economic growth in Nigeria using annual time series data spanning 1980 to 2017. This phenomenon is particularly interesting from a theoretical standpoint as well as for the understanding of financial market mechanisms. The Vector Autoregression (VAR) model and the Granger causality test are employed to estimate the model coefficients and measure the causal relationship among the concerned variables. From the VAR-based impulse response function and its corresponding variance decomposition estimates, result shows the existence of negative relationship between interest rate and economic growth in Nigeria. In addition, the Granger causality test indicates the presence of bi-directional causal relationship between interest rate and economic growth. Consequently, monetary authorities should designed and implement interest rate policies that enhance investment and take into cognisance other elements that retard investment progression. To attain the desired growth level in Nigeria, monetary authorities and policy makers should adopt policy measures that are growth oriented and have the potentials to accelerate the economy to higher productivity and sustainable economic growth.

The purpose of this research was to investigate the nature of the relationship between board diversity and financial performance of deposit money Banks quoted on the Nigerian stock exchange. Based on extensive review of the literature, three board diversity variables were identified namely gender (measured by the proportion of women in the boardroom), non-executive directors (measured by the proportion of non-executive directors that make up the boardroom) and board size. Financial performance was measured using Return on Assets (ROA) and Return on Equity (ROE). The Fixed effects Panel data regression model was used to test the nature of relationship between the board diversity variables and the financial performance variables, using secondary data from the Banks annual financial statements covering the period from 2006-2017. The result of the analysis showed that gender diversity has a statistically significant positive impact on banks financial performance. On the other hand, the study also indicated that non-executive directors and board size do not have a significant impact on banks performance. Based on the findings from this study, it was therefore recommended that quoted deposit money banks in Nigeria should raise female proportions in their boardroom so as to improve financial performance.

This study examined the influence of corporate governance on company cash holding by explaining the relationship between board gender, multiple directorship and cash holding using a sample of 87 non-financial companies including industrial and service companies that listed on the Amman Stock Exchange from 2011 to 2017. By using Ordinary Last Square regression model (OLS). The findings indicate that board gender, multiple directorship positively influence cash holdings, supporting the agency theory. The findings of this study contribute to the formulation of better corporate governance policies that can help improve corporate cash holdings. This study has several empirical implications for policy makers in Jordan; it is important for policy makers to improve the role of the board of directors in monitoring the firm. One possible way of doing so is to encourage firms in Jordan to employ female that can provide better monitoring services and also firms can benefit from their experiences. In addition, these rules and regulations need to be activated by the policy makers to ensure that firms comply with their requirements. Moreover, developing countries are in need of providing better compliance with international governance standards. This can be done by adopting good governance practices, improving shareholder rights and activating laws and regulations that govern firms’ performance.

This research was carried out to assess legal challenges relating to E-Banking in financial institutions: A study of Commercial banks in Dodoma, Tanzania. This research was worth exploring since there is a high rise of E-Banking service users and the users are not aware of the legal implication of such services which in turn is the biggest challenge to E-Banking services. The objective of this research was to explore the challenges brought by the E-Banking system in relation to the Legal system in Tanzania by focusing specifically on legal risks that a customer is likely to face in e-banking, also the insecurity phenomenon associated with E- banking.
