To reverse the situation, in Ghana, the police have been charged with the primary responsibility of maintaining domestic security. The emerging development in the country, however, has been the blame game between the police and the public in respect of the perceived failure in security governance for the citizenry. This study examined this blame game using Sawla-Tuna-Kalba District of Savannah Region as a case study. To be able to achieve the intended objective, 102 respondents were selected through both probability and non-probability sampling techniques in a convergent sequential mixed method design. Expert administered questionnaire and interviews were employed as the main methods of data collection. The study found that non-prosecution of criminals, bribery and corruption, police-criminal relationship, inadequate logistics and police personnel and stakeholders’ interference in security management, cumulatively were responsible for the low level of security administration in the study area. The study concluded that both the police and the public are responsible for the defective security architecture in the study community. Since crime impacts multiple facets of society in ways that the police and government may not be aware of until those interests are taken into consideration during project development and implementation, the study recommends a multi-sector collaboration involving the government, the police and the public to improve security governance in the area. Keywords: Crime, Violence, Security, Police, Citizenry, Peace Architecture.","PeriodicalId":495133,"journal":{"name":"International journal of applied research in social sciences","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135537607","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 study employed secondary data retrieved from the published financial records of 12 consumer goods listed firms in Nigeria over a period of 10 years spanning 2012 to 2021. The paper adopted four independent variables as measures of firm attributes which includes firm size (FSIZE), board composition (BSIZE, profitability (PROF) and firm growth (FGROW). On the other hand, the dependent variable which is financial reporting quality was proxy using Modified Jones Model. The dataset were analyzed using the descriptive statistics, diagnostic tests and inferential statistics. The study specified a linear model which was tested using the simple regression analysis as a result of the nature of the study. The findings revealed that board composition and firm growth have significant impact on financial reporting quality of listed consumer goods firms in Nigeria. Again, firm size and profitability have insignificant relationship with financial reporting quality of listed consumer goods firms in Nigeria. The findings indicated that collectively the firm attributes measures examined in this study have significant association with financial reporting quality of listed consumer goods firms in Nigeria. Thus, the study recommended that listed consumer goods firms in Nigeria pay attention to the potential negative impact of firm size and board size on financial reporting quality. Companies should strive to establish effective internal controls, robust reporting mechanisms, and appropriate governance structures to mitigate the adverse effects of these factors. Keywords: Firm Attributes, Financial Reporting Quality, Profitability, Firm Growth, Firm Size.","PeriodicalId":495133,"journal":{"name":"International journal of applied research in social sciences","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135364572","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}
