It assists users in public organizations in selecting the best method for utilizing relevant accounting data. Research in the literature revealed that incidences of fraud and a lack of accountability result in subpar financial reporting, which undermines investor trust and shapes investment choices. Research indicates that a large number of colleges fail to incorporate audit quality into their daily operations in an effort to improve financial reporting standards. As a result, this study looked at the connection between financial reporting quality and audit quality at many public institutions in southwest Nigeria.\u0000In this study, survey research approach was used. Twelve of the nineteen public universities in southwest Nigeria that were included in the study were selected through the use of purposeful sampling. A total of 250 employees who worked in senior management, audit, and finance made up the target population. A sample size of 201 was calculated using the Taro Yamane formula. There were 201 copies of the validated structure questionnaire distributed to the participants. Ninety-four, or 94.5 percent, were recovered. The reliability coefficients for Cronbach's Alpha varied from 0.724 to 0.991. The data were analyzed using both inferential (multiple regression) and descriptive statistics.\u0000The results of the study showed that audit quality had a significant impact on the following: financial report timeliness (Adj. R2 = 0.516; F(201) = 43.597=; p=0.00); financial report faithful representation (Adj. R2 = 0.598; F(6, 183) = 47.930=; p=0.00); financial report understandability (Adj. R2 = 0.416; F(6, 183) = 21.735=; p=0.00); and the comparability of financial report quality (Adj. R2 = 0.390; F(201) = 21.102=; p=0.00).\u0000The study came to the conclusion that financial reporting quality at public universities in southwest Nigeria is influenced by the quality of audits. To improve the caliber of financial reporting, the study advised public entities to include audit quality into their daily operations.","PeriodicalId":505152,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Economics, Business and Accounting","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140753064","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}

A survey research design and quantitative approaches with stratified sampling and a 162 sample size were adopted. Data collection was done through closed-ended questionnaires. The questionnaires were distributed to tourists and picked after being filled up. Respondents’ responses were based on a five-point Likert Scale. Data analysis was done using IBM SPSS statistics version 21 and Partial Least Squares – Structural Equation Modelling using SmartPLS 3 software with the help of SmartPLS3 software. The study showed that airport departure facilities were directly and significantly associated with international tourists' satisfaction. This implies that the relationship exists in real life, and any effort to disregard the assessment of these facilities may disturb tourists' satisfaction and lead to untrustworthiness. Moreover, airport departure accessibility and departure retail areas showed an insignificant association with international tourists' satisfaction, implying that no relationship exists in real life. The study recommends that indicators for the constructs with direct relationships be treated as significant factors. However, airport operators should equally monitor service performance to achieve the highest tourist’ satisfaction in all three constructs to make tourists loyal since any service compromise can interrupt tourists' satisfaction. The findings have economic significance in improving tourism performance and airport service management.","PeriodicalId":505152,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Economics, Business and Accounting","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140362448","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}

Moreover, there is a gap between the elderly and others in the use of digital tools. It is difficult and inconvenient to obtain digital information and use digital information, thus forming the phenomenon of digital divide. Under the background of digital divide, the elderly is faced with many digital risk problems, and how to deal with these problems has become a very important research topic. The purpose of this study is to explore the use of digital tools by the elderly, to analyze the digital risks they faced, and to provide the research suggestions. The data were obtained through in-depth interviews with 17 respondents and 332 valid questionnaires. The results show that elderly is more likely to own smartphones and use them to make calls and pay for daily purchases. In addition, common digital risks for the elderly include online shopping risk, time risk, privacy risk, financial risk and psychological risk. The study suggested that the government should strengthen publicity on online shopping precautions and cooperate with universities or research institutions to raise and prevent digital risk awareness among the elderly.","PeriodicalId":505152,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Economics, Business and Accounting","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140366485","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 introduction of unconditional higher moments, namely co-skewness and co-kurtosis, as additional measures of systematic risk may enhance the model's explanatory power, especially when the distribution function of stock returns is asymmetric. The present study empirically investigates the applicability of unconditional higher order moment CAPM and the impact of higher moments in the Indian stock market i.e. Bombay Stock Exchange using the data of sectoral indices for the period from April 2011 to March 2021. To test the four moment CAPM empirically, the specification given by Fang and Lai has been used in the study. The findings of the present study revealed that the higher moments (coskewness and cokurtosis) are significantly priced and have impact on the returns in the Indian stock market. The market risk premium for covariance was found to be insignificant. Further the hypothesis related to intercept term was accepted and market risk premiums were rejected. The results showed an increase in the explanatory power of the model as compared to the unconditional CAPM as the R-square value of the model was obtained better than the latter model. The mixed and inconclusive findings contradicted the model in the Indian context.
