Working capital is the capital needed by a business to finance the day-to-day operations of the business. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of working capital management and profitability of listed industrial goods companies in Nigeria. The study was anchored on the cost trade-off theory. The methodology adopted in the study was an ex-post facto research design. The population of the study consist of ten industrial goods companies in Nigeria. Secondary data from ten listed industrial goods companies in Nigeria's stock exchange for the period of ten years (2012-2021) was obtained based on a convenient sampling method. The statistical tools used were multiple regression analysis and Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient aided by SPSS version 22.0. The founding showed a negative significant impact between Inventory, Trade Receivable and Net Profit Margin as well as Return on Asset. Whereas a significant positive impact was observed between the cash conversion cycle and net profit margin as well as return on asset. The study concluded a significant impact on working capital management and profitability of listed industrial goods companies in Nigeria. The study recommends that the credit policy of the companies should be structured in such a way as to improve cash flow thereby reducing the firm cash conversion cycle. Also, professionals should be hired where necessary to ensure efficient management of working capital components to increase profitability.

The thrust of this study was to ascertain the effect of sustainability reporting on financial performance of quoted pharmaceutical companies in Nigeria for a period of ten (10) years spanning from 2012 to 2021. Ex-post facto and longitudinal research design was adopted. Sustainability disclosure which is the independent variable was captured using employee health and safety disclosure, social disclosure, environmental disclosure, and governance disclosure while financial performance which served as the dependent variable was measured using return on investment (ROI). Panel data were obtained from annual reports and accounts of the sampled health care companies and subjected to preliminary data tests such as descriptive analysis, correlation analysis, variance inflation factor analysis and hausman effects tests for the study period. Multiple panels least regression analysis was employed via E-Views 12. The results of the tested hypotheses revealed that employee health and safety disclosure, and social disclosure have positive and significant effect on financial performance of health care companies in Nigeria which was statistically significant at 95% confidence level respectively while a negative but insignificant effect was documented against environmental disclosure, governance disclosure and financial performance of health care companies in Nigeria. In conclusion, the findings shed light on the substitute and complementary relationship between performance and the increase in sustainability disclosure quality.

This study investigated the effect ownership concentration on agency cost of industrial firms listed on the Nigerian exchange group. The specific objectives were to examine the effect of government ownership, managerial ownership, institutional ownership and foreign ownership affects agency cost of firms listed on the Nigerian exchange group. Panel Least Squared (PLS) method of data analysis was used. Secondary sources of data were employed; the interested variables were sourced from the annual report of the quoted industrial firms. The variables were assets utilization as the dependent variables while government ownership, managerial ownership, institutional ownership and block ownership were the independent variable. The study employs descriptive statistics, correlation and regression analysis in the analysis. From the analysis result the study found that. Government ownership has no significant impact on agency cost of firms listed on the Nigerian exchange group (t-test 1.539283, p=0.1286). Managerial ownership has significant impact on agency cost of firms listed on the Nigerian exchange group (t-test 4.541870, p=0.0000). Institutional ownership has significant impact on agency cost of firms listed on the Nigerian exchange group (t-test -3.443344, p=0.0005). Foreign ownership has negative and insignificant effect on agency cost of firms listed on the Nigeria exchange group (t-test -0.336863, P= 0.7372). The researcher recommends that. Government ownership of sensitive firms should be minimized, as such ownership are usually inefficient and characterized by bureaucratic bottlenecks, which do not have clear incentives to improve asset. The study recommends that financial regulatory bodies in Nigeria such as the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC), and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) should ensure that a reasonable degree of managerial ownership is maintained by all banks due to its potential ben

This study was designed to examine the effect of product innovation strategy on performance of manufacturing companies in Nigeria. The total population of 43 manufacturing companies was used with a sample size of 40 using content analysis. The data were analysed and interpreted using STATA for the period of ten (10) years. The findings show that the effect of product innovation strategy on performance was higher since all the variables of product innovation strategy are positive and significant in relation to companies’ performance. The result shows that product innovation is stronger, more favorable and more unique. The study has supported previous studies on product innovation strategy and performance especially in developing economies such as Nigeria, Ghana, and among others. Therefore, it was recommended that creative innovations should be maintained continuously to develop appropriate product continually and increase the organisational performance.

This study examined the effect of accounting information on stock price of quoted Healthcare firms in Nigeria, with a view to determining whether accounting information has the ability to significantly affect stock price of Healthcare firms in Nigeria. The study used ex-post facto research design and the period covered was ten years; spanning from 2012 to 2021. Secondary data were sourced from the Nigerian Stock Exchange Fact Book and Annual financial reports of companies quoted on Healthcare sector of Nigeria stock exchange. Ordinary least square (OLS) regression method was employed for the analysis. Findings show that accounting information in terms of dividend per share has a significant positive effect on stock price of Healthcare firms in Nigeria. While earnings per share and return on equity showed no significant positive effect on stock price indicator. Based on the findings, the study recommends that the Healthcare companies should continue to channel their resources towards improving DPS to ensure that it maintains 1% level of significance; as this will enable them to have high MPPS value and invariably perform better in the stock market. The study further recommends that companies should try to maintain high EPS and ROE as though insignificant in the short run, have tendency of being significant in the long run.

This study examined audit tax and tax revenue in Nigeria by means of a causal study design on a population twenty six (26) Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), field offices in south south geographical location of Nigeria. Questionnaire was distributed to three (3) management staff from each of the 26 FIRS field offices in south south Nigeria, given a total of 78 respondents that constitutes the respondents of the study. Data for analysis was collected through primary and secondary sources. Primary data was collected through questionnaire to respondents, while secondary data was collected from FIRS Planning, Research and Statistics Department, Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) statistical bulletin, articles, magazines and other published studies for the period covering 2007-2019. A total of 78 copies of the questionnaire were produced and distributed, of which 73 copies (93.59%) were successfully retrieved. However, out of the 73 copies that were returned only 67 copies (85.90%) were valid and used for the analysis. The simple linear regression was used for analysis. The results revealed that, tax audit statistically and significantly has effect on petroleum profit tax, company’s income tax and value added tax. The study therefore concludes that, tax audit has positive significant effect on tax revenue in Federal Inland Revenue Service of Nigeria, and recommends that the Federal Inland Revenue Service should encourage, strengthen and give more attention to the tax audit department, focus more on the audit activities of the service. This will deter taxpayer’s against non-compliance and discourage tax evasion

Accounting for public borrowing and economic performance has been under constant investigation. This study examined the impact of public borrowing on economic performance of Nigeria between 1981 to 2021. The study adopted purposive sampling technique and analyzed using robust ordinary least square (ROLS). The independent variables are, Federal government domestic debt (FDD), Federal government foreign debt (FGFD), cost of servicing debt (CSD), Federal government total expenditure (FGTE) is proxy for dependent variable while, Federal government retain revenue (FGRR) is proxy for control variable. The study reveals that that of FGRR, CSD, FGFD and FGDD have positive and significant influence on the federal government total expenditure. The study was theoretically anchored on Dual Gap Analysis Theory, Adam Smith Theory on Debt and The Ricardo Theory of Public Debt. The study then concludes that Nigeria’s total expenditure has risen astronomically through domestic debt, foreign debt, government retained earnings and debt servicing. The study then recommends very strong internal control should be enforced over utilization of borrowed fund, domestically or externally, as well as investigation of the internal control process of borrowing in Nigeria. Again, debt should be reduced so as to reduce the cost burden of servicing it as debt overhang is imminent in Nigeria. The study recommends the investigation of the internal control process of borrowing in Nigeria for further study.

This study investigates the impact of auditor’s independence on audit quality of listed real estate/construction companies on the Nigerian Exchange Group from 2012 to 2021. The study made use of ex-post facto research design and since the entire population was below ten firms, census sample approach was adopted. Secondary data of the firms were sourced from audited financial statements of the nine companies used for the study. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation matrix and panel regression technique. The findings showed that there was a significant negative relationship between audit firm tenure and audit quality while the relationship between audit firm rotation and audit quality was positive and statistically insignificant. Company size showed a strong positive relationship with audit quality. Thus the study recommends that real estate/construction firms in Nigeria should make use of the services of audit firms with unquestionable track records of audit quality and reputation. In addition, real estate/construction firms in Nigeria should continually employ the services of one of the big audit firms whose character and integrity are beyond reproach. Lastly, the study recommends that management of quoted real estate/construction firms in Nigeria should consider increasing audit fees as benefits accruable to the firms far outweigh relevant costs

Thus the study recommends that real estate/construction firms in Nigeria should make use of the services of audit firms with unquestionable track records of audit quality and reputation. In addition, real estate/construction firms in Nigeria should continually employ the services of one of the big audit firms whose character and integrity are beyond reproach.
