Therefore, this study aims to analyze the relationship between the exchange rate volatility and inflation in Sri Lanka over the period 1977-2020. This study has used inflation as the dependent variable. Exchange rate, export, import, money supply and foreign direct investment are used as the independent variable. Augmented Dicky- Fuller test is employed to identify the stationary of the variables. This result indicates that the variables are stationary in order one. Johansen Co-Integration test found that there is a positive and significant relationship between the exchange rate volatility and inflation, money supply and export and a negative correlation between the import. Adjustment toward the long-run equilibrium is ensured from the Vector Error Correction model result. But, there is no significant relationship in the shortrun between the exchange rate volatility and inflation. According to the CUSUM test result, the model is stable. From the Granger Causality test, exchange rate volatility has a one-way causal relationship with inflation. Therefore, this study concluded that exchange rate volatility and inflation have a long-run relation and there is no significant correlation between the variables in the short-run. Hence, this study is recommended that the Sri Lankan government must try to stabilize the exchange rate and monitor the amount of money supply within the country.","PeriodicalId":191546,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Managerial Science","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121321381","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study was conducted to examine the entrepreneurial interests of level two students towards the implementation of entrepreneurship teaching and learning by RBT teachers based on two elements, namely attitudes and skills in the application of entrepreneurial values. The research design is descriptive, while the research method is quantitative, and data were analyzed using SPSS 26.0 software. The sample of this study was selected using the simple random sampling technique. A total of 86 teachers who teach RBT subjects and 59 level two primary school students were selected. The researchers used a questionnaire instrument to collect the data in this study. Descriptive analysis was used to identify the attitudes and skills in applying entrepreneurial values among teachers who teach entrepreneurship topics in RBT subjects towards the entrepreneurial interests of level two students as well as to identify the entrepreneurial interests of the level two students. Correlation analysis was also used to identify the relationship of teachers’ attitudes and skills in applying entrepreneurial values with the level two students’ entrepreneurial interests. The results of this study can give a true picture of the entrepreneurial interests of level two students along with the attitudes and skills in applying entrepreneurial values among primary school teachers in the district of Rompin, Pahang. The findings show that students’ entrepreneurial interests in the implementation of entrepreneurship teaching and learning are at a high level with a mean score of 4.77, followed by the mean scores of 4.83 and 4.69 for teachers’ attitudes and teachers’ entrepreneurial value application skills, respectively. The researchers propose that further studies diversify the research instrument by using in-depth interviews or focus groups with teachers to obtain students’ views and perceptions of entrepreneurial interests.","PeriodicalId":191546,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Managerial Science","volume":"77 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129713536","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The above quote touches an important aspect of individual financial planning behavior i.e., the lack of motivation to engage in personal financial planning. This observation prompted the researcher’s interest in studying the individual financial behavior as personal financial planning is becoming increasingly important in academic world as well as in practical life. Financial awareness prepares an individual with the ability to understand, monitor, and use the financial resources effectively to enhance the well-being of one’s own self and also the economic security of the family. The understanding of financial needs allows one to know the financial structure and the related financial literacy level. The main objective of the study is to assess the awareness of personal financial planning among households in Sattur town. The questionnaire administered in this study measures the level of awareness about preparing financial planning and knowing the economic and social benefits of the same. The survey examines the respondents’ awareness about personal financial planning. The researcher prepares three questions to measure the level of awareness on respondents’ knowledge, skills and their views on socio economic benefits. To examine the range of awareness among households of Sattur town, three items are chosen viz, awareness on personal financial planning, perception levels, economic and social needs and their response was tabulated. The research concluded that though the study in the area of personal financial planning has recognized that general education significantly increases the investment, income and retirement savings, it may not prepare one with sufficient skill and knowledge for taking investment decisions. Only financial education at early stages of life i.e., at the school or college level, helps in promoting personal financial planning of households.","PeriodicalId":191546,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Managerial Science","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133444493","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To fulfil its objective, the annual reports and documents of all the sample banks are examined and obtained data from surveys. Since all of them are required to comply with the standard of IFRS 7 to disclose relevant financial information to uphold the stakeholders’ interest, the extent of deviation from the standards in terms of disclosure practice is also examined. The study found that average compliance of the standards is 72.77% by the banks. The highest rate of compliance found from individual compliance status of those companies is 80% with a negative deviation from average. However, the practices of disclosure in reporting are considerably good. Therefore, it is recommended that the regulatory authority and central bank of Bangladesh should mandate the compliance of IFRS 7 for disclosure in financial reporting.","PeriodicalId":191546,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Managerial Science","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128091290","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
