Purpose: The paper aims, from an African perspective, to investigate the practice of inconsistent custom duty valuations experienced by related MNEs and to explore the impact this may have on MNEs. Design/Methodology/Approach: Perceptions from industry experts from various African countries were sought by means of a questionnaire and supplemental literature was reviewed with a view to address the stated objectives. Findings: The main findings point to custom officials’ lack of knowledge of transfer pricing principles, possible corruption by custom officials and custom authorities keeping reference prices. The impact on MNEs appear to mainly relate to additional costs in the form of storage, consignment seizure, and lengthy court battles. Implications/Originality/Value: Strategies to address challenges arising in custom valuations suggest training of customs officials, coordination and exchange of information between relevant departments within the revenue authority and making use of advanced pricing agreements.

Purpose: The study examined whether profitable and least-profitable Top 100 Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) listed companies used impression management in the chairperson’s statement during the Covid-19 pandemic. The chairperson’s statement is one of the most frequently read and highly rated narrative disclosure statements in the integrated report. Design: Quantitative content analysis was used. The profitable and least-profitable companies were evaluated using six textual characteristics, namely the length of the chairperson's statement, the use of passive voice, the use of personal references, the use of quantitative references, the use of future references, and the readability score. Findings: The study found that profitable and least-profitable top 100 JSE-listed companies used impression management during the pandemic. Moreover, both groups used the passive voice as well as future, personal, and quantitative references in the chairperson's statement, even during the Covid-19 pandemic. There was no significant difference in readability, quantitative references, passive voice, personal references, length, and future references. The results are contrary to previous research that indicates that impression management is used less during a crisis. Implications: The study adds to the debate on the use of impression management in corporate reporting during the crisis and adds to the debate on attribution theory.

Objective: Money mule is a bank account used by another person unknowingly or voluntarily by the owner of the account to obtain a reward or by fraudulent means for illegal or illegal financial transactions. Syndicates usually get these mule accounts (also known as surrogate accounts) by deceiving those who need extra income and have a low level of financial literacy. This study will determine the level of awareness towards money mule and understanding towards the dangerous of money mule. In this research, both quantitative and qualitative approaches will be employed with surveys and interviews. Methodology: A Systematic Review was conducted in this study considering potential articles published from January 2020 to October 2021. Electronic data collection through Goggle Scholar (50 journals) was identified to studies related to the level of awareness on money mule or money laundering. Findings: This study concludes that, although the law enforcement agencies have the power to investigate money laundering and terrorism financing under the act, Malaysia is lacking in having a good investigative support system to assist the law enforcement agencies during the investigation process. Implications: Special attention should be given to any complex and unusual business transactions, especially if there seems to be an unlawful purpose. Programs to educate public on money laundering should be found in order to raise awareness towards money laundering and financing of terrorism.

Purpose: The study examines the compliance level with IFRS 7 by deposit money banks in Nigeria for the period between 2017-2020. Design/Methodology/Approach: The study adopts an un-weighted disclosure index method to test the two hypotheses and using Qualitative Grading System (QGS) to rank the level of compliance with the aid of explorative research design. Findings: The study found that in average, the over-all compliance by DMBs at commencement year stood at 51.04% and this implies that as at the commencement year DMBs weakly complied with the requirements of IFRS 7. Implications/Originality/Value: The study concluded that though DMBs in Nigeria do not totally comply with the provisions of IFRS 7 throughout the study period yet, there have been significant improvements in the level of compliance with the standard disclosure in the annual reports of DMBs in Nigeria. It’s therefore recommending that banks should strive to ensure full compliance with the standards as this will add more confidence in the economy. This must be done with the enforcement of regulatory bodies. The FRCN should intensify its mandate to ensure banks strictly comply with the provisions of IFRS.

Objective: How to increase firm performance? This paper seeks to answer this question by analyzing the effect of some variables, especially board size and board independence with firm performance. In this regard, the current paper uses non-financial firms listed on Borsa Istanbul stock change between the period of 2013 and 2015. Methodology: On the other hand, the current research used random sampling of abovementioned firms which was listed on BIST. Correspondingly, to address the association among board characteristics (e.g. interlocking directors, size, and independence) and firm performance the present research adopted an agency theory as well as resource dependency theory. Plus, utilizing the descriptive statistics, relationship matrix tests, and linear multiple regression as the principal statistical tests via (STATA V.14 and SPSS V25). Findings: As a consequent, the current paper pointed out a various conclusion, most significant one shows that there is a positive association among the (board size, interlocking directors, board independence, and firm performance). Implications: Lastly, the current research suggested for future studies might address bigger sample, wider time frame, and further board of director’s characteristics for instant, age and nationality.

Objective: As Malaysia is an upper-middle-income country since 1992, it aspires to achieve high-income nation status by 2028. This paper aims to examine the interrelation of foreign direct investment inflows (FDI), domestic investment (GFCF), trade openness (TO), and economic growth (GDP) in Malaysia from 1979 to 2019. Methodology: The econometric model and techniques applied are unit root test, Johansen-Juselius co-integration analysis, and vector error correction mechanism. The unit root test result indicated the stationarity of all series at the first difference. Findings: Subsequently, co-integration analysis depicted a presence of one co-integration among the series at 5% level of significance, thus VECM is an appropriate technique to apply. In the long run, VECM findings indicated 1% increase in FDI caused a decline in GDP by 0.1338%, while 1% increase in GFCF will increase GDP by 0.8136%. Also, GDP has a weak unilateral effect on FDI in the short run based on VECM causality findings. Implications: This paper certainly provides new literature and evidence for the Malaysian context through advanced techniques applied.

Purpose: The study examined the nexus between financial sector development, renewable energy usage and unemployment (UNEMP) in North African countries. The complementarities between (1) financial development (FIN) and renewable energy usage and (2) economic growth and financial development, and their influence on unemployment was also investigated within the context of North African countries. Design/Methodology/Approach: Panel data (1992-2019) analysis methods such as fixed effects, fully modified ordinary least squares (FMOLS) and pooled ordinary least squares (OLS) were used. Findings: Financial sector development had a significant unemployment reduction influence. Complementarity variables were also noted to have significantly reduced unemployment. Implications/Originality/Value: North African countries should therefore craft, develop and implement financial development, renewable energy usage (RENEW) and economic growth enhancement strategies and policies to increase job creation capacity.
