In this study, we examine the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) on the financial performance of Nigerian listed deposit banks. We collected secondary data from the annual reports and accounts of 14 banks between 2010 and 2017. We employed the Tobin Q quantitative method for the analysis. We adopted the theoretical framework of pecking order theory since the analysis of the impact of FDI on the financial performance of these banks are both inward and outward FDI. The Tobin Q method was used as the dependent variable and FDI as an independent variable. Board size, firm size, equity capital and reinvested earnings were all financial performance indicators employed to test the impact of FDI on the financial performance of the banks on understudy in Nigeria. The result of the data analysis and findings showed that FDI had contributed positively to the development and performance of the deposit banks over the period under consideration. Our theoretical findings suggest a positive relationship between FDI and profit maximization. This support the FDI theory that banks or organisations are financed partly with debt-equity, both used by the banks to balance the cost and benefit financing decisions by the management. In the case of the empirical findings, the results of hypothesis testing show a significant effect on the banks’ financial performances. Given these results, we conclude that FDI has made a positive impact on the development and financial performances of the listed deposit banks under study which resulted in some of the banks’ growth from local banks in Nigeria into some of the leading international banks in Africa.
The credibility of financial reporting is crucial as it assures the user of its authenticity. In this study, we examined the effect of audit committee quality on the quality of financial reporting of deposit money banks in Nigeria. A descriptive research design was adopted and secondary data sourced from annual accounts of seven deposit money banks for seven years were used to test our hypotheses. The dependent variable in this study is financial reporting quality measured with accrual model. In contrast, the independent variables are the number of members on the audit committee with accounting and finance knowledge, the size of the audit committee, the number of audit committee meetings held in a year and audit committee independence. Descriptive statistics, normality test, a multicollinearity test and regression analysis were used to examine the data. A notable outcome revealed that except for several audit committee meetings held in a given year the other independent variables were found to be insignificant and are not, therefore, determinant of financial reporting quality in deposit money banks in Nigeria. The study concluded that audit committee quality is not a determinant of financial reporting quality in deposit money banks in Nigeria and the study recommends that ability should be paramount for the appointment of members to the audit committee and advises that the audit committee should always be given adequate consideration by management in decision making. Contribution/Originality: This study is one of very few that has investigated the effect of audit committee quality on the quality of financial reporting of deposit money banks in Nigeria using an accrual model.
Increased volatility in the business world has exposed the inadequacy of traditional approaches to risk management. This has led to an integrated approach to measuring and managing risks known as enterprise risk management (ERM). At the same time, past studies on ERM disclosures have examined it within the context of book-based approach, which has not given the right and accurate information. However, this paper examined the significance of enterprise risk management and listed manufacturing firms' financial performance in Nigeria using both the book-based approach and the market-based approach. Relevant ERM theories in relation to financial performance such as Agency Theory, Stakeholders Theory, and Enterprise Risk Management Theory were examined. A panel data analysis was employed on time series and cross-sectional data of thirty listed manufacturing firms in Nigeria from 2010 to 2018. The random effect of the Hausman test was found to be more appropriate and hence adopted in interpreting the results of the analysis. The results confirm the a priori expectations that profitability ratio, liquidity ratio, market-based ration to risk board committee, the board size, firm size, and directors’ ownership all have varied impact on the firm’s profitability with varied statistical significance levels.
The Effect of Board Composition and Financial Performance of Financial Services Firms in the Nigerian Stock Exchange Market 1. Introduction Influence of board opus on recital of companies is a decisive research cram. There are many researches have been operated in developed countries but very number have been done on developing countries. Very a smaller number of researches have been undertaken in major African countries such as Nigeria, Ghana, and Economic Community of West African Countries (ECWAC). Particularly in the financial service sector. Studies that examined the board compositions and financial performance showed that there is some doubt as to whether there is a
The article focused on the effectiveness of ethical corporate governance in decision making by the board of directors of top listed companies. Through the application of grounded theory approach in analysing data collected via the survey questionnaire, a substantive theory of ethical corporate governance is developed. The substantive theory developed is based on the shareholdership model of empowerment to create wealth and stakeholdership model of expectation to shared values. In term of ethical corporate governance, through organisations code of conduct and corporate social responsibility policies, companies can reach out to their broader stakeholdership groups through engagement with stakeholders. Such engagement is ongoing with shareholdership groups through boards' accountability to shareholders-the finding from this study further our understanding of ethical corporate governance issues.
