Researchers and businesses throughout the world are increasingly interested in understanding the effect of corporate social and environmental spending on bottom line results. The analysis relied on information from the listed companies' financial statements from 2010 to 2019. Linear regression was used for the analysis in this study. Based on the statistics presented, it appears that CSR reports have a negative effect on the ROI that was originally targeted. Corporate social environmental spending reporting also has a detrimental effect on the mandated return on assets and earnings per share. According to the findings, Nigerian investors are less interested in firms that use their profits to benefit society than they are in those that generate a high return on investment and perhaps offer a sizable dividend. More education and awareness on the topic of corporate social and environmental performance of the firms was recommended in the study rather than focusing on the shareholder group that is more inclined towards the profit motive of the firm. This is because it could change the perspectives of investors to place a high value on firms that consider the needs of all stakeholders, especially the society and environment where they operate.","PeriodicalId":53178,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Budgeting, Accounting and Financial Management","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135878730","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 examined the imperativeness of digitalization in tax administration in Nigeria. The study employed quantitative research method and ex-post facto research design. The study covered a period from 2010 to 2021 which sums up to twelve years. Data on the independent variable, being digitalization (proxy by ICT) was sourced from secondary materials and was analysed with linear regression linking it to the dependent variable (proxy by tax revenue and tax evasion). The result of the analysis reveals the adjusted R square as -0.028 and a computed p-value of 0.406 which indicates that ICT has no significant low adverse effect on tax revenue in Nigeria. It also reveals the adjusted R square of 0.38 and the computed pvalue of 0.061 in respect of the second hypothesis which indicates that ICT has no significant low positive effect on the level of tax evasion in Nigeria. It is therefore concluded that digital economy does not have a significant effect on tax administration in Nigeria.
