Earnings management as dependent variable was proxied by discretionary accruals while audit quality is explained using audit fees and auditor industry specialization.The study adopted Ex post facto research design. Population included all the 21 companies in the consumer goods sector. The study purposively, sampled 17 out of the entire population for the purpose of data collection. The study covered the period 2012 to 2021. Secondary data were extracted from the annual accounts of the companies for the period of the study. The study employed the use of multiple regression technique to analyse the data. The result of the study showed that both audit fees and auditor industry specialization have positive significant relationship with earnings management when moderated by audit committee financial expertise. The study concluded that both variables can be used as determinants of real earnings management when there is a financial expert on the audit committee. From the findings, it was recommended that efforts should be made with respect to legislations to strengthen auditors’ quality in Nigeria by ensuring that audit committee members have financial expertise since it is a viable corporate governance tool towards enhancing reported earnings quality.

Foreign aid from Western countries to African countries has been hailed as one of the solutions to these problems. Thus, this study investigated the impact of foreign aid on poverty using a panel data set of 14 West African nations. Foreign aid was disaggregated according to the reason for which it was given while poverty was measured with three variables namely; poverty headcount, infant mortality, and literacy rate. Annual data was sourced from the WDI (2022), WGI (2022) and OECD (2022), scoped 2008-2020. Using a two-step system GMM, the study found that total aid insignificantly reduces poverty headcount in the presence of reduced corrupt practices. Furthermore, foreign aid allocated to health and education was found to lower infant mortality and improve literacy rates, respectively; however, these effects were only significant in the condition of reduced corrupt practices. The study thus concludes that foreign aid works better when corrupt practices are reduced, and it recommends that policymakers in west- African countries should consider corruption control policies so that aid allocation is properly managed to improve its impact on poverty headcount, infant mortality, and literacy rate.
