The researcher used the Hausman and Wald tests to choose the best appropriate regression model with the maximum explanatory power the result revealed that ROA has a mean of 6.532658, median of 5.900000, standard deviation of 4.663992, skewness index of 0.874641. EnA shows a mean of 2369618, a median of 229141.0, and standard deviation of 5293062 does not have a significant effect on the ROA since the p-value is greater than the 0.05 the study concluded that Environmental accounting does not have significant effect on return in asset which means other factors are more responsible for decline in the ROA of quoted Industrial Goods Sector in Nigeria.
