The study assessed the use of information and communication technology (ICT) facilities in teaching Financial Accounting in Federal Colleges of Education in the South-South geopolitical zone of Nigeria. 2 research questions guided the study and were examined while 2 hypotheses were formulated and tested at 0.05 level of significance. Descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study. The population of this study comprised 239 male and female Financial Accounting lecturers with accounting education background. Simple random sampling technique was used to select 169 representative sample for the study. The instrument for data collection was a structured questionnaire titled “Information and Communication Technology in Teaching Financial Accounting Questionnaire (ICTITFAQ)” validated by two experts. Mean statistic was used to analyze data descriptively while independent sample t-test was used to test the formulated null hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The results of the study revealed among others that accounting educators (lecturers) utilize, to large extent, accounting software and telecommunication facilities to teach financial accounting in colleges of education in South-South zone of Nigeria. The results further showed no significant difference in the mean response scores on the extent to which Accounting Educators (lecturers) use computer software facilities, and telecommunication facilities in teaching Financial Accounting between Federal and State Colleges of Education in the South-South Nigeria. However, a significant difference in the mean response scores on the extent to which Accounting Educators use internet in teaching Financial Accounting between Federal and State Colleges of Education in the South-South Nigeria in favour of Federal Colleges of Education. It was recommended that Federal and State governments should intensify efforts to buy relevant software packages for teaching Financial Accounting in Colleges.

The study investigated the relationship between accounting standard adoption and financial reporting quality of public sector entities in Rivers and Bayelsa States of Nigeria. The study adopted survey and correlational research designs. The study population consisted of all public sector entities and a sample size of three hundred and twenty (320) was utilized for the study. Primary and secondary sources of data were employed while univariate, bivariate and multivariate analysis were used for data analysis. The multivariate analysis indicated that there was a relatively very strong positive and significant relationship between Post-IPSAS regime and relevance of selected public entities in Rivers State and Bayelsa State; there was a relatively strong positive and insignificant relationship between Post-IPSAS regime and faith representation of selected public entities in Rivers State and Bayelsa State; there was a relatively negative and insignificant relationship between Post-IPSAS regime and understandability of selected public entities in Rivers State and Bayelsa State and there was a relatively very negative and insignificant relationship between Post-IPSAS regime and timeliness of selected public entities in Rivers State and Bayelsa State. The study concluded that accounting standard adoption influences the quality of financial reporting quality of public sector entities in Nigeria. Therefore, the study recommended amongst others that public sector entities should adopt PostIPSAS principles in preparing their financial reports because this study affirmed that Pre and Post IPSAS has positive and significant relationship with financial reporting standard in term of relevance of quality.

This study on forensic accounting services and its effect on fraud prevention was empirically investigated. Two hypotheses were formulated to guide the investigation and the statistical test of parameter estimates was conducted using Kendall’s Coefficient of Concordance. The data for the study were collected using questionnaire survey administered to the relevant accounting sections of the selected manufacturing firms in Anambra state. The statistical analysis of the study indicates that the application of forensic accounting service has reduced the incidence of frauds and has also led to fraud prevention at 1% significant level. Thus, the study concludes that the application of forensic accounting services has led to fraud prevention in manufacturing firms in Anambra state. The study therefore recommends that manufacturing firms in Anambra state should intensify the application of sophisticated forensic auditing in the fight against fraud and forgeries in the system as the probability of fraud detection and prevention will be generally low especially in this era of technological revolution.
本文对法务会计服务及其在预防舞弊中的作用进行了实证研究。提出了两个假设来指导调查，并使用Kendall’s Coefficient of Concordance对参数估计进行统计检验。该研究的数据收集使用问卷调查管理的相关会计部门的选择制造企业在阿南布拉州。本研究的统计分析表明，法务会计服务的应用降低了欺诈的发生率，也导致了1%显著水平的欺诈预防。因此，该研究得出结论，法务会计服务的应用导致了欺诈预防在阿南布拉州的制造企业。因此，该研究建议阿南布拉州的制造公司应加强在系统中打击欺诈和伪造的复杂法医审计的应用，因为欺诈检测和预防的可能性通常很低，特别是在这个技术革命的时代。

This study investigates the effect of the provision of non-audit services on Auditor’s professional scepticism evidence from accounting practitioners in Abia State. The study used the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN) and Association of National Accountants of Nigeria (ANAN) domiciled in Abia State. The data for the study were generated from primary source: questionnaires were the major instrument for data collection. The instrument was subject to both content and faces validity by experts. Three questions were structured in Likert scale form and the formulated hypotheses were tested with ordinary Logistic regression using SPSS package. The study found that non-audit services have no effect on auditor’s scepticism, the auditor’s objectivity during his course of audit procedure. The study therefore recommends that the audit committee should have full oversight of the auditor’s scepticism including the nature and extent of the work they do and their fees. The auditors been a professional should strive to maintain his integrity during the course of his duties bearing in mind that good name is better than riches. The audit committee should make his charter public and this should give investor information about how the audit committee chooses its auditors and how it decides the type of services they can provide.

State governments in Nigeria need revenue to invest in social infrastructures and creating social safety nets to stimulate economic growth. One of the sources of revenue that state governments have direct control over to maximize domestic revenue is the internally generated revenue. Empirical evaluation of the relationship between internally generated revenue and economic growth, therefore, becomes imperative. Consequently, this study examined the relationship between the components of Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) and Economic Growth (GDP) in Lagos State. The research design is ex-post facto while the period of study was from 2012 to 2020. The data obtained on the dependent and explanatory variables from National Bureau of Statistics and Lagos State Bureau of Statistics was analysed with the Autoregressive Distributed Lag technique. The results show a long-run significant relationship for other taxes, direct assessment and road taxes with gross domestic product in Lagos state, leaving out pay as you earn with insignificant impact. In the short run, however, other taxes, direct assessment, pay as you earn and road taxes have positive and significant relationship with gross domestic product. The F-statistic of 824.42 with a probability value of 0.000 at 1 percent level suggests that internally generated revenue exerts significant influence on gross domestic product in Lagos State. The study concluded that internally generated revenue strengthened economic growth in the state. Lagos State government should sustain the current tempo of domestic revenue mobilization drive with special emphasis on pay as you earn as a component of internally generated revenue to spur economic growth.

This study examined the effect of corporate governance mechanism and shareholders wealth maximization of quoted commercial banks in Nigeria. The purpose is to examine how corporate governance variables affect shareholders wealth of quoted commercial banks in Nigeria. Panel data was sourced from financial statement of the quoted commercial banks from 2011 to 2020. Return on equity and return on assets were modeled as a function of board size, board composition, board independence and directors shareholdings. Panel data Ordinary least square method was used as data analysis technique. The study found that 65.7 and 70 percent of return on equity and return on assets were explained by variation in corporate governance variables. Beta coefficient of the variables found that board size and board composition have positive but no significant effect on return on equity of the quoted commercial banks while board independent and directors equity holding have negative effect on the return on equity of the quoted commercial banks. The study found that the independent variables have positive effect on return on assets of the quoted commercial banks except directors’ equity holding. From the findings, the study concludes that corporate governance variables have greater effect on return on assets than return on equity of the quoted commercial banks. From the findings, the study recommends the all corporate governance code from the regulatory authorities should well complied with by the management of the commercial banks. Directors equity holding should be reduce and its objectives integrated with the management objective of maximizing shareholders wealth

International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) are expected to enhance transparency and accountability and deter corrupt practices in public sector. This study investigated the extent to which the implementation of the standards deters corrupt practices in Ogun State, Nigeria. The study adopted survey research design using questionnaire for its primary data obtained from staff in selected Ministries Departments and Agencies (MDAs) in Ogun state, Nigeria. The selected MDAs are: The Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta; Federal College of Education, Osiele, Abeokuta; Ogun-Oshun River Basin Development Authority, Abeokuta, and Federal Medical Centre, Abeokuta. Ogun State was chosen because of ease of access and because the state combines the features of an industrial state with those of civil service state. The sample size is 600 accounting staffers and lecturers that cut across the MDAs. Results of regression equation revealed that the standards exert positive and significant effect on deterring corrupt practices with probability values of 0.000. This study observed that the adoption of the standards alone cannot totally curb corruption in Nigeria. Constant staff trainings, political will to bring corrupt officials to book and proper use of discretionary measures in the standards are therefore strongly recommended by this study.

This study empirically investigated the relationship between sustainability reporting and financial performance of quoted manufacturing companies in Nigeria. To achieve this objective, theoretical, conceptual, and empirical literature on sustainability reporting on financial performance were exhaustively reviewed. The population of the study consists of twelve quoted oil and gas companies on the Nigerian stock exchange. The study adopts purposive sampling techniques to select ten quoted oil and gas companie s as the sample size. Secondary data were obtained from audited financial reports and sustainability reports of quoted oil and gas companies in Nigeria from 2013-2022. Hypotheses formulated were tested using ordinary least square regression with the aid of Eview 10 econometrics statistical software. The findings show that sustainability reporting had a significant impact on financial performance of quoted oil and gas companies in Nigeria. Empirical evidence suggests that environmental sustainability reporting had a significant relationship with return on equity and return on asset of quoted oil and gas companies in Nigeria. Empirical evidence indicates that social sustainability reporting had a significant relationship with return on equity and return on asset of quoted oil and gas companies in Nigeria. Empirical evidence reveals that economic sustainability reporting had a significant relationship with return on equity and return on assets of quoted oil and gas companies in Nigeria.

To achieve this objective, theoretical, conceptual, and empirical literature on sustainability reporting on financial performance were exhaustively reviewed. The population of the study consists of twelve quoted oil and gas companies on the Nigerian stock exchange. The study adopts purposive sampling techniques to select ten quoted oil and gas companie s as the sample size. Secondary data were obtained from audited financial reports and sustainability reports of quoted oil and gas companies in Nigeria from 2013-2022. Hypotheses formulated were tested using ordinary least square regression with the aid of Eview 10 econometrics statistical software. The findings show that sustainability reporting had a significant impact on financial performance of quoted oil and gas companies in Nigeria. Empirical evidence suggests that environmental sustainability reporting had a significant relationship with return on equity and return on asset of quoted oil and gas companies in Nigeria. Empirical evidence indicates that social sustainability reporting had a significant relationship with return on equity and return on asset of quoted oil and gas companies in Nigeria. Empirical evidence reveals that economic sustainability reporting had a significant relationship with return on equity and return on assets of quoted oil and gas companies in Nigeria.

This study examines the effect of auditor independence on audit quality of twenty industrial goods companies in Nigeria for a period of ten years spanning 2012 to 2021. The objectives were centered on assessing possible effect of client importance, auditor reputation, audit opinion and auditor professional qualification on audit quality of health care companies in Nigeria. To achieve this set objectives, this study employed ex-post-facto research design based on data sourced from selected firm’s yearly reports for time period that ranged from 2012 to 2021. Adopting an ex-post factor and longitudinal research design, the secondary data collected were subjected to some preliminary data tests such as descriptive analysis, Pearson moment correlation matrix and multi-collinearity analysis using Variance Inflation Factor (VIF). The research used panel least square procedure based on fixed and random effect framework and houseman test was equally employed in selecting the best model to estimate parameters contained in the model. Emanating from the review of relevant literature and theories on auditor’s independence and audit quality and based on the data collected, analyzed and the hypotheses tested the study found that auditor reputation and auditor professional qualification recorded a positive and significant effect on audit quality which was statistically significant at 5% level of significance. On this basis, therefore, it may be recommended that there is need for the audit firm to protect its independence by working within its statutory duties. The management of health care companies is hereby advised to always source for the services of reputable audit firms with professional qualification and expertise to ensure quality of audit in their firms
