“…Unarguably, the dimension of corrupting activities to be included in an overall classification of corruption is quite large. Anderson (2015) used five dimensions of corruption, i.e. diversion of public funds, ethical behaviour of firms, favouritism in decisions by government officials, organised crime and irregular payments and bribes, in his study on corrupting activities and economic development.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to examine the corruption-tax evasion nexus and to establish the strength of relationships among corrupting activities. Design/methodology/approach The research applied structural equation modelling on selected data from the World Economic Forum Executive Opinion Survey on corruption activities and data on tax evasion triggering factors from the World Development Indicators and the Bank of Ghana to test two hypotheses. Findings The test of the first hypothesis suggests that corrupting activities significantly cause tax-evading activities in Ghana; hence, there is at least one corrupting activity triggering tax evasion. Testing the second hypothesis revealed that corruption in Ghana exhibits all of the five dimensions of corruption that were examined. Hence, there is correlation among the corrupting activities. Research limitations/implications The research is limited by the availability of data; hence, only data for selected variables for the period were examined. Practical implications The results are indicative that most emerging economies tend to have more than one type of dominating corruption dimension, which are tax-evading triggers. Originality/value The study extends the literature by examining the various dimensions of corruption, analysing the strength of their relationships and how they impact tax evasion in an emerging economy. By identifying and employing specific corrupting activities, there is a better understanding and appreciation of the corruption-tax evasion nexus in the revenue generation process. This may aid emerging economies in the drafting of tax evasion and corruption reduction policies/programmes to ensure the achievement of sustainable development goals.

The aim of this exploratory research is to examine the foreign direct investment (FDI) – financial development (FD) nexus and to analyse the strength of relationships among FDI measures. The study employed structural equation modelling (SEM) on selected data from the World Development Indicators (WDI) from 1979 to 2016 to achieve the modest goal of this paper. The study established that FDI inflows are precursors of a vibrant and well-developed financial institution in emerging economies. We also found positive and negative correlations amongst the FDI measures, which suggest they move pari passu in stimulating the FD of an economy. A notable feature of this study is in the employment of SEM empirical strategy to shed light on the FDI-FI nexus. The study concluded that emerging economies must focus on the creation of a congenial investment climate to attract FDI inflows, which pivots robust financial institutions because of their cascading effects on the overall economy.

“…I do not know: the survey showed that the high rate of the participants does not know about the organization code of conduct and internal policy. This rate as explained in table (6) shows the huge gap between the efficiency of implemented activities in the reality and the organization management board.…”

Purpose: the fragile of economic and political situations, weakness and instability in any country is a potential suitable medium to create and develop corrupted environment. Corruption minimizes the opportunity to funding projects in corrupted working environment. Typically the traditional image of local none government organizations leads to trust them, meanwhile the possibility of conducting corruption in these organizations is not far away from the staff. For example some directors or supervisors cheat the staff and seduce them to burn rate acts to show progress in the project, some mangers want to involve the staff in corrupted acts. This research arranged to minimize the potential corruption opportunities in local none government organizations in Iraq. Methodology: quantitative methodology was implemented. 29 questions plus participants` comment were arranged to be answered within 15 to 20 minutes. The collected data is primary data about the local none government organization current administration and professional state in Iraq. Finding: Level of corruption could be noted in the local none government organizations and based on the collected data this corruption is result of: a) lack of comprehensive and professional code of conduct / internal policy and b) absent of best practice and international criteria in managing and producing organization issues at daily bases. Based on the participants feedbacks international none government organizations are recommended to support building professional work environment in the local none government organizations in Iraq.
