Item An Empirical Investigation Of The Impact Of Artificial Intelligence On Accounting Practice In Nigeria(African Journal of Accounting and Financial Research, 2023-02-02) Ugo CelinaItem Profitability And Financial Sustainability Of Microfinance Banks In Nigeria(Fuw-International Journal of Management and Social Sciences., 2022-02-02) Nasamu Gambo; Rimamnde Rikwentishe; Nungala Danjuma UsmanThis study seeks to evaluate the profitability of microfinance banks operating in Nigeria as a precondition of financial sustainability. Profitable banks tend to maintain adequate capital, high deposit base, high liquidity status and high loan quality. Correlational research design was adopted for the study and balanced panel data was used. Financial sustainability microfinance banks were profiled on size, capital adequacy and liquidity status, deposit base and loan quality following a balanced panel design. Multiple regression was used to analyze the data collected. The study reveals low level of profitability and sustainability, and hence recommends that Government and Monetary authorities (CBN) should increase the capital requirements for the establishment of Microfinance Banks as the current requirements are inadequate; embark on effective monitoring of the activities of Microfinance Banks; and promulgate policies that will enhance transparency, proper accountability and competition in the sector to attract more credible investors.Item Impact of Project Cost Control on the Financial Performance of the Nigerian Construction Industry(Scientific Research Publishing Inc., 2024-02-02) Abani Joseph Alu; Muritala Taiwo Adewale; Ogedengbe Frank Alaba; Nasamu Gambo; Nwoye May IfeomaThe success of any construction project largely depends on the ability to manage project costs effectively. However, cost control in the Nigerian construction industry is characterized by numerous issues such as inadequate planning, poor communication, lack of accountability, and corruption. This conceptual review aims to examine the current state of project cost control in the Nigerian construction industry, identify the key factors affecting cost control, and provide insights into possible solutions to these challenges. The Nigerian construction industry has been plagued with cost overruns, delays, and poor project performance, which have led to a significant waste of resources and financial loss. The findings of this review will be useful to stakeholders in the construction industry, including project managers, policymakers, and researchers, and will help to improve the cost management practices in the Nigerian construction industry. The study reveals that ineffective cost control strategies, poor project planning, and inadequate monitoring and control systems are major issues affecting project cost control in Nigeria. The review also highlights the need for a shift towards more proactive and integrated cost control approaches, as well as the adoption of emerging technologies in project cost control. Ultimately, this study provides valuable insights into the challenges faced by project managers in controlling project costs in the Nigerian construction industry and offers recommendations for improving project cost control practices.Item Market and Operational Risk Impact on Quoted Deposit Money Banks’ Financial Performance in Nigeria(Open Journal of Business and Management, 2024-02-02) John Agbana; Abbas Umar Ibrahim; Maitala FaizaThe rising importance of market and operational risk to controlling financial risks inherent in Deposit Money Banks (DMBs) in Nigeria remains integral to their financial performances. Thus, this study assesses the impact of market and operational risk on DMB performance in Nigeria. Eight (8) years of data between 2015 and 2023 retrieved from the published annual reports of thirteen (13) DMBs were applied for this study. The analysis includes descriptive statistics and inferential statistics of correlation and panel regression for this study. The outcome of this study posits that the variables MRSK and OPSK have an impact of approximately 66%, 61%, and 65% on ROA for the pooled effect model, fixed effect model, and random effect model, respectively while their impact on EPS shows an impact of about 70%, 74% and 73% correspondingly for all the scenarios applied indicating that MRSK and OPSK are positive and negative predictors respectively. This study concluded that there has been a significant impact of both the MRSK and OPSK on EPS and ROA for the pooled, fixed and random effect model respectively for the period under review. This study recommended that management should prioritise implementing cost management measures to reduce the ratio of operating expenditures, which will ultimately result in improved profit margins. If the bank does not aggressively address recurrent modest losses in its daily operations, which are often caused by its inability to utilise its fixed costs effectively, its demise is inevitableItem Effect of Female Entrepreneurial Experience on Start-Ups of Educational Institutions(Wseas Transactions on Business and Economics, 2022-02-02) Ngele Anthonia Nnebuife; Abubakar Hauwa Lamino; Nwoye May Ifeoma; Cross Ogohi DanielThis study evinced the cruciality of female entrepreneurial experience as a gainful propeller of start-up educational institutions in North-Central Nigeria. The focal aim of this study is to ascertain the effect of female entrepreneurial experience on start-ups specifically in the educational sector, which over the years recorded a tremendous influx of female entrepreneurs. A descriptive research design was adopted as the framework for this study and the population of the study comprised 43,470 female educators within the North-Central region of Nigeria. The Cochran sample size determination technique was used to obtain the sample size of 385 respondents. Bowley's allocation formula was adopted to determine the sample size of each North-Central state while simple random and purposive sampling was used to select participants. The questionnaires were structured in a 5-point Likert scale as a validity and reliability test was conducted to ensure their credibility. Data retrieved were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics via the aid of the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25 statistical tool. The results of the regression analysis validated the data at a 0.05 significance level. The findings revealed that socio-cultural expectations, exceptional economic support, social networking, innovation, and self-efficacy have a significant effect on the growth of educational institutions in North-Central Nigeria. Hence the study concludes that female entrepreneurial experience adversely affects the growth of educational institutions and start-ups in North-Central Nigeria. The study recommends that good government policies geared towards equal support of female entrepreneurs as endorsed by the liberal view of the feminist-based entrepreneurship theory.Item How Does Pension Funds Impact Stock Market Development? An Empirical Analysis from Nigeria Using ARDL Technique(Scientific Research Publishing Inc., 2023-02-02) Sule Yakubu; Muritala Taiwo Adewale; Abubakar Hauwa Lamino; Bakare Akeem Adewale; Wasiu Akintunde Yusuf; Hafsat Olatanwa AfolabiThe study examined the impact of pension funds on capital market development in Nigeria from 1995-2022 using ex-post facto research design. Data were collected from the Central Bank of Nigeria statistical bulletin and annual report of the pension fund commission. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, unit root test and auto regressive lag model (ARDL). The findings show that there is a long run relationship between market capitalization as a ratio of gross domestic product and selected pension fund variables in Nigeria. Also, there is a no long run relationship between all share index as a ratio of gross domestic product and selected pension fund variables in Nigeria. This implies that there is a short run relationship between all share index as a ratio of gross domestic product and selected pension fund variables in Nigeria. Also, pension fund has positive and statistically insignificant implying that the present value of pension contributory fund does not impact positively on its immediate past state. Inflation has positive and significant impact on market capitalization as a ratio of gross domestic product in Nigeria. Also, inflation has negative and insignificant impact on all share index as a ratio of gross domestic product in Nigeria. Pension investment at precious value is positive and as a statistically significant impact on all share index as a ratio of gross domestic product in Nigeria implying that pension fund investment could be used as purchase of share to increase the total share index in the Nigeria for future benefit for the pensioner whose contribution yields greater impact or return for stable future. The study recommended that pension fund administrators in Nigeria should understand that the rate of inflation is dynamic in Nigeria and the value of money is being lost as money is not worth its values in the next five years.Item The Impact Of Liquidity Risk On Profitability Of Listed Deposit Money Banks In Nigeria(International Journal of Professional Bussiness Review, 2024-02-02) Abiona Jeremiah Olofin; Muritala Taiwo Adewale; Maitala Faiza; Abubakar Hauwa Lamino; Ajalie StanleyObjective: The study examined the relationship between liquidity risk and the profitability of Nigeria's listed deposit money banks in Nigeria over a 16 years period from 2008 to 2023. Method: Panel data on cash reserve ratio, liquidity ratio, loan to deposit ratio, and return on equity were collected from the annual reports and financial statements of the five systemic banks listed on Nigerian Exchange Group from 2008-2023. Ordinary least square regression analysis, panel unit root test, Hausman test were used in analysing the data. Results: The study found a significant positive relationship between the cash reserve ratio, loan to deposit ratio and profitability of Nigerian deposit money banks. But liquidity ratio has a negative but insignificant relationship with profitability of deposit money banks in Nigeria. Conclusion: Based on the findings, the research recommends that the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) must act quickly to lower cash reserve ratios in order to help Nigeria's deposits banks operate more effectively. Banks should engage competent and qualified personnel in order to ensure that right decision are adopted with regard to the optimal level of liquidity and the loan-to-deposit ratio should be fully utilized by banks to support sales initiatives.Item Effect Of Board Risk Committee Attributes On The Financial Performance Of Nigerian Insurance Companies(Journal Of Law And Sustainable Development, 2024-02-02) Abidemi Soladoye; Muritala Taiwo Adewale; Abubakar Hauwa LaminoPurpose: Given the importance of insurance companies to the national economy and the fact that sound financial performance is essential for them to play their stated roles, it is therefore useful to examine the effect of risk committee attributes on the financial performance of insurance companies in Nigeria from 2016 to 2022. Theoretical reference: Agency theory is incorporated in this study because ERM places significant responsibility on the board of directors and its delegates such as risk committees, thereby reducing agency costs. The theory underscores the need to promote sustainable growth and corporate governance. Method: The sample was however limited to the 20 companies that consistently published annual reports for the 7-year study period spanning 2016 to 2022. Using the expo facto research design and the census sampling technique, the study made use of descriptive and inferential statistical techniques, while multiple regression (pooled, fixed effects and random effects models) was used to determine the significance of the effect of risk committee size, independence, and diligence (which are the independent variables), and firm size (the control variable) on loss ratio, (the dependent variable) Results and Conclusion: The multiple regression analysis showed a negative but statistically insignificant relationship between risk committee size and financial performance measured as loss ratio. Risk committee independence and risk committee diligence on the other hand were positively related to loss ratio although the results were also statistically insignificant. However, the results showed a positive and statistically significant relationship between firm size and loss ratio. Thus, the study concludes that the risk committee attributes, size, independence and diligence do not have a significant effect on loss ratio. Implications of research: The practical implication of these findings is that insurance companies need to critically evaluate the structure and workings of their board risk committees to determine which attributes best contribute to their risk management and financial goals. However, given that none of the risk committee predictor variables showed a significant effect on loss ratio, there is a need to recommend a minimum committee size of five and initiatives to improve deliberations at meetings. Originality/Value: While a plethora of studies have been carried out to examine the effect of the characteristics, structure, or attributes of a risk committee on a company’s financial performance, the vast majority of them have been done on either banks specifically, or financial institutions in general. Only a few of the studies have specifically considered insurance companies. Fewer yet have studied the entire population of insurance companies with most preferring to limit their studies to listed insurance companies. Moreover, none of these studies has measured financial performance from the standpoint of loss ratio which is a measure of the insurance company’s capacity to pay claims. This study thus fills a gap in the literature by not only addressing this all-important function of insurance but also contributing to the relative dearth of studies that use the insurance industry as a domain.Item CORPORATE TAX AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE(African Journal of Accounting and Financial Research, 2023-02-02) Kingsley Sweetwilliams; Lucky Otsoge Onmonya; Ebire KolawoleThe study examined the effect of corporate tax on the financial performance of Nigerian listed consumer goods companies from 2011 to 2021. A sample of sixteen (16) consumer goods firms was used for the study. Secondary data source was generated from the annual reports of the selected firms. The random effect panel regression results revealed that company income tax negatively affects financial performance. The study also revealed that education tax has a significant positive effect on financial performance. While Value Added Tax (VAT) has a significant negative effect on financial performance. In conclusion, corporate tax has a statistically significant effect on the financial performance of consumer goods firms in Nigeria. Based on these findings, the study recommends that to leave enough net income in the hands of the listed consumer goods companies, the federal government should offer more tax exemptions that will lower company income tax payments.Item Audit Committee Characteristics and Corporate Performance(Asian Journal of Economics, Business and Accounting, 2023-02-02) Lucky Otsoge Onmonya; Ebire KolawoleThe corporate governance code mandates all publicly quoted firms in Nigeria to establish an audit committee to ensure transparency in financial reporting and protect shareholders' interests. This study examined the effect of audit characteristics on the corporate performance of listed conglomerates in Nigeria from 2015 to 2021. Audit characteristics was proxy as audit committee size, audit committee meetings and audit committee independence, while corporate performance was proxy as return on asset. The secondary data were sourced from the firms' annual reports and were analysed using correlation matrix and panel fixed regression. The result from the panel regression showed that audit committee size and independence do not significantly affect the performance of listed conglomerates in Nigeria. In contrast, audit committee meetings significantly but negatively affect listed conglomerates in Nigeria. This study concludes that the frequency of audit committee meetings does not increase the performance of firms. This study recommends that the Security and Exchange Commission ensure that conglomerate firms in Nigeria comply with at least four audit committee meetings in a year to improve monitoring mechanisms and corporate performance
