Therefore, this study aimed to investigate how the administration of contributory pension schemes affects transitory job loss in Nigeria. Employing an exploratory research design, this conceptual paper reviews existing literature to assess the extent of research on contributory pension schemes and transitory job loss. The study's findings revealed that individuals who lose their jobs encounter difficulties in accessing 25% of their pension contributions. These challenges arise from complex administrative procedures, non-remittance of contributions by employers, and a lack of awareness about the option to access a portion of their contributions in the Retirement Savings Account (RSA) in case of job loss. Moreover, this research indicated that contributors who experienced job loss, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, lacked a savings and investment culture, leading to financial hardship during the waiting period to access a part of their RSA contributions. It was concluded that contributors who undergo transitory job loss in Nigeria encounter obstacles in accessing their pension contributions. The study recommends that efforts should be made to simplify the administrative processes involved in accessing pension contributions to ensure a smoother withdrawal experience for contributors facing job loss.","PeriodicalId":53178,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Budgeting, Accounting and Financial Management","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135253321","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 objective of the study is to determine the economic implications of Naira redesign, reasons for redesigning Naira and the proposed relevance of Naira redesign policy of the Central Bank of Nigeria. The study discovered that the key rationale for currency redesign were to reduce the level of hoarding of money by affluent Nigerians, to mitigate counterfeiting of the currency and to control the amount of money in circulation with the view of controlling the rate of inflation in Nigeria. The study also discovered that there are both positive and negative sides to Naira redesign which includes the fact that Naira redesign could lead to reduction in the level of cash insecurity and money laundering, huge deficit cost to the economy, a rise in price level and the mitigation of counterfeiting in the economy. The study suggests that the redesign of Naira may not be the antidote to the consistent depreciation of the country’s currency and the focus of the Central Bank of Nigeria should be the stabilization of Naira. The study concludes that Naira redesign is not the best thing to be done currently in the economy as it could lead to more challenges and so the Government of Nigeria should attend to more pressing issues.","PeriodicalId":53178,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Budgeting, Accounting and Financial Management","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134912939","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 2011–2020 research examines firm-specific features and corporate environmental disclosure for listed environmentally sensitive firms in Nigeria. Age, size, leverage, and management ownership are the explanatory variables. Environmental disclosure explains the GRI environmental disclosure index. The research assessed corporate involvement in environmental disclosure using double hurdle regression. The population and sample are all 23 Oil & Gas and Industrial Goods firms. The research found that firm size and financial leverage influence disclosure choice and extent of disclosure. Firm age does not affect disclosure choice or intensity. The study proposes that Nigerian corporations should give detail disclosure of environmental information. It should be a listing requirement for companies. This promotes green accounting. As captains of industries, managers should push environmental policies that improve their environmental performance to better align the organisation and its stakeholders.","PeriodicalId":53178,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Budgeting, Accounting and Financial Management","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134912944","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}

They have, of course, always been with us and no decent business entity entirely overlooks them. What is new is the preference of their ranking in different corporate agenda. Fascinatingly, this paper is an analytical examination of the influence of the firm’s characteristics on Asset Growth of Quoted companies in Nigeria: An Analytical Review. The central aim was to investigate how the profitability, leverage and revenue growth influence asset growth of the quoted companies on the Nigerian Stock Exchange. Whilst the firm’s characteristics were measured by profitability, leverage and revenue growth and asset growth was measured by the difference between prior year and current year of non-current asset. This study focused on Ex post facto sourcing of data from the annual financial reports of the relevant companies from 2008 to 2019 fiscal years. Besides, the generated data were analyzed using the descriptive and inferential statistics while the regression analysis model was adopted for estimating the test result. However, findings revealed an insignificant influence of firm characteristics (profitability, leverage and revenue growth) on asset growth quoted companies in Nigeria. The result, therefore, showed that firm’s characteristics insignificantly contribute to the asset growth of companies. It was recommended among others that companies should carefully monitor all elements that indicate assets growth and not merely focus on firm characteristics alone, since it does not completely isolate firms from the threats of asset growth issues. Nonetheless, Companies should compose their boards based on technical know-how, experience, and qualification rather than on gender categorization.","PeriodicalId":53178,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Budgeting, Accounting and Financial Management","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134912779","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 goal was to determine if the explanatory and dependent variables have a meaningful connection. The study's methodology was ex-post-facto research design. Twenty-six consumer products businesses listed on the Nigerian Exchange Group make up the population, and five of those companies were chosen as the study's sample. The investigation used a secondary source to gather data. The audited financial statements of the chosen companies between 2015 and 2021 were used to collect data for both the dependent and independent variables. The statistical method for multiple regression was used to examine the given data. The results of the investigation's studies have unmistakably demonstrated that in Nigerian consumer goods businesses, there is a weak link between stock multiplier ratio and market share price and a strong relationship between firm liquidity ratio, acid test ratio, and market share price. Therefore, the study draws the following conclusions: consumer goods companies should maintain a reasonable level of liquidity in order to encourage demand and supply in the stock market; the acid level of the companies should be frequently checked by stakeholders to detect any potential problems; and stock multiplier ratio has immaterial influence on firm market share price in the studied organizations in the country. Because doing so helps investors understand the company's worth. In other words, the P/E ratio depicts market expectations as well as the price that must be paid per unit of either current or future profits, depending on the situation.","PeriodicalId":53178,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Budgeting, Accounting and Financial Management","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135740010","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 purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between corporate governance attributes and the financial performance of listed industrial goods companies in Nigeria. The methodology adopted in this study was an ex -post facto research design. Secondary data from eleven (11) listed industrial goods companies in Nigeria for the period of eleven (11) years (2009-2019) was obtained based on the convenience sampling method. The statistical tools used were multiple regression analysis and Pearson’s product-moment correlation aided by the statistical package for social science (SPSS) version 22. The finding showed that corporate governance had a significant positive relationship with financial performance. Likewise, the board size, board composition and board member competence have a positive relationship with net profit margin. It was concluded that corporate governance attributes influence the financial performance of listed industrial goods companies in Nigeria. It was recommended among others that external auditors should be mandated to issue certificates of compliance with the code of corporate governance for public companies as it is obtainable in some countries like India. Likewise, Appraisal tools for regular monitoring of boards of directors should be developed to help create credibility in corporations in Nigeria. Competent outside directors with requisite experience should be appointed to the board at all times necessary.","PeriodicalId":53178,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Budgeting, Accounting and Financial Management","volume":"85 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135740189","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 population of the study consists of sixty quoted manufacturing companies in Nigeria. The study adopts purposive sampling techniques to select thirty quoted manufacturing companies as a sample size.

Hypotheses formulated were tested using panel least squares regression through pooled effect, fixed effect, and random effect, determined by the Hausman test, fixed effect regression was preferred for results interpretation with the aid of Eviews 10 econometric statistical software. Findings show that companies’ income tax, capital gains tax, and tertiary education tax had insignificant effects on return on equity of quoted manufacturing companies in Nigeria. Companies’ income tax and tertiary education tax had insignificant effect on return on capital employed of quoted manufacturing companies in Nigeria. Companies income tax and tertiary education tax had insignificant effect on net profit margin of quoted manufacturing companies in Nigeria. Capital gains tax had significant effect on return on capital employed and net profit margin of quoted manufacturing companies in Nigeria. The study concludes that corporate taxes have insignificant effect on financial performance of quoted manufacturing companies in Nigeria. The study recommends, among others, that the government should introduce new tax incentives, tax exemptions, tax allowances, tax relief, tax rebates, and tax shelters for corporate taxes. Capital gains tax should be scrapped to enable companies to plough back profit on sale of assets into their business operations. The government should create a corporate tax management database through modern information technology to ensure effective and efficient corporate tax administration.","PeriodicalId":53178,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Budgeting, Accounting and Financial Management","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135740680","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}
