Abstract

Purpose: This study examines the nexus between book value and the share price of listed firms in the Nigerian exchange group, considering inflation as a mediating variable. Research methodology: The study used book value per share, share prices, and inflation rate as the independent, dependent, and mediating variables, respectively. The study uses regression analysis and a structural equation model for the effect and mediating effect, respectively, to analyze data collected from a company’s financial statements and the capital market  for 2011-2020. Findings: The regression and structural equation model results show that book value per share has a negative and insignificant effect on share price, and inflation has a mediating effect on the relationship between book value per share and share prices. Limitations: This study was limited to book value per share, share price, and inflation rate. The scope of this study was limited to listed firms in Nigeria from 2011 to 2020. Contribution:  This study contributes to the understanding of how inflation rates influence the relationship between book value per share and share prices in financial markets. By exploring the mediating effect of the inflation rate, this study sheds light on how changes in purchasing power affect the valuation metrics of companies, providing valuable insights for investors, policymakers, and financial analysts in making informed decisions amidst varying economic conditions. Moreover, this study contributes to the body of knowledge because there are limited studies in this area.

Abstract

Purpose: This study examines the effect of real earnings management on corporate tax planning of listed manufacturing firms in Nigeria. Method: The study used secondary data of 41 listed manufacturing firms in Nigeria extracted from the annual reports and accounts of the sampled firms for the period 2012 to 2022. The data collected for the study were statistically analyzed using dynamic panel data from the generalized moment method (GMM). Results: The study found that abnormal production has positive and significant effect on tax planning, the study also revealed that abnormal discretionary expense has positive and significant effect on tax planning. The study also documents a positive and significant influence of abnormal production on tax planning. The study also reveals that real earnings management has a positive and significant impact on tax planning. Limitations: The study is limited to real earnings management and tax planning; it is limited to 41 listed manufacturing firms in Nigeria and covers  12 years,  from 2012 to 2022.   Contribution:  This study contributes to the existing literature by providing empirical evidence on the relationship between real earnings management and tax planning, specifically within the context of Nigerian manufacturing firms. The findings will inform policymakers and regulatory bodies regarding the effectiveness of current tax regulations and practices in Nigeria's manufacturing sector. Novelty: This study's focus on Nigerian manufacturing firms adds a novel dimension to the existing literature, as there may be unique factors and challenges specific to this context. In addition, the study provides a novel approach by employing dynamic panel data of GMM.

Abstract

The study examined the moderating effect of managerial ownership on the relationship between firm attributes and tax avoidance in Nigerian listed oil and gas firm for the period of 2011-2020. Secondary data were extracted from the financial reports and accounts of the companies. The study employed Generalized Least Square (GSL) estimator of the regression model. Study revealed that leverage has positive significant effect on tax avoidance. The study reported that board financial expertise has positive and significant impact on tax avoidance. The study documented that managerial ownership has significant positive impact on tax avoidance. Similarly, managerial ownership positively and significantly moderates the relationship between firm size and tax avoidance. The study recommends that, the board of directors in the oil and gas firms in Nigeria should ensure that shareholding of the insider managers is increase in such a way that the proportion of their shareholding should be minimal which should not be less than 20% of the total shareholding in the company as it was found being among the factors that increase tax avoidance. Doing this will encourage managers to put more effort to work toward improving firm performance. The study also recommends that as leverage improve tax avoidance, firms should obtain more debt than equity to advantage of interest on loan which is tax deductible. Since board financial expertise increase tax avoidance, firm should encourage for inclusion of financial expertise as member of board of director in order to take decision on tax issues which will benefit the company.

Objective The study examined the moderating effect of board financial literacy on the relationship between capital structure and firm financial performance of listed non-financial companies in Nigeria. Design/methodology Capital structure was measured by long term debts to total assets, short term debts to total assets equity to total debt ratio and board financial literacy was measured by ratio of board members that have professional and academic qualification in accounting, finance and economics. Meanwhile financial performance was measured by return on assets. Secondary data was extracted from the sampled firms annual report and accounts and analyzed using Panel Least Square.Results The study revealed a positive and significant relationship between long term debt and ROA. It also shows that board financial literacy moderate capital structure significantly and increase firm performance. The study recommended that the management of Nigerian listed non-financial firms should optimize the capital structure in order to increase the financial performance. They can do that through ensuring that their capital structure is optimal by using more of current debts and non-current debt than equity. The Board of Directors of Nigerian listed company should be concerned about the level of long term debt, short term debt and include members that are financially literate who will contribute in financing decision of firm in order make optimal capital structure for better financial performance. This is because the findings of this study revealed a positive significant moderating relationship between long term debt, short term debt and financial performance.
