Abstract

Every business aims to succeed in the competitive environment by injecting various customer attraction and retention mechanisms into the workplace. However, the hospitality sector requires managers to be proactive in delivering prompt services that would motivate them to come back after the first experience. To achieve this objective, employee work attitude behaviour must be considered.  It was this problem that prompted the researchers of this study to examine the predictability of employee work attitude on the effectiveness of hospitality firms operating in Nigeria's work setting. Middle-line managers, supervisors, and low-level employees constitute the sample frame. To avoid bias in selection, simple random was used. Copies of the primary instrument were used to collect data. Frequency distribution was used to analyse respondents’ data while the research propositions were analysed with linear regression with the aid of IBM SPSS statistical software version 25. The finding of the study showed that employee work attitude has a positive significant effect on organisational effectiveness. The study concluded that employee work attitude measured in terms of job satisfaction and job involvement enhances and improves organisational effectiveness of hospitality firms in Nigeria through prompt service delivery and customer satisfaction. The implication of the study is that; supervisors, operations managers, and HR managers should pay positive attention to the attitude of their employees to discourage employee turnover that could lead to customer withdrawal.

Abstract

This study examines the mitigation of the African economic crisis through financial inclusion. The paper undertakes a comprehensive exploration of the African economic landscape, navigating through historical intricacies, structural challenges, and global influences. Grounded in a quantitative methodology, the study adopted the survey method to systematically unravel the multifaceted dimensions of the economic crisis and financial inclusion in Africa. The study was anchored on both Monetarist and Keynesian models. Monetary and Keynesian financial theories were made suitable because both focus on strategies for addressing economic instability even though they take distinct approaches to solving economic issues. A sample size of 350 participants was studied, using a purposive sampling technique. The data from the returned questionnaires were selected, collated, and analyzed using tables and percentage computation. The historical overview uncovers the persistent impact of colonization and post-independence struggles, shaping the structural issues that underpin the economic challenges faced by African nations. The analysis extends to the intricate dance of global economic dynamics, examining the interplay of trade relations, the imbalance of financial services, and the complexities of the interconnected global economy. Findings indicate that financial services and products are insufficient in Africa. The study discovered that cultural, technological, and regulatory limits all significantly contribute to the economic crisis, which is evidenced by the high rate of currency devaluation in Africa, high rates of inflation in the price of goods, and economic downturns. Thus, the paper recommends that; fin-tech companies, appropriate technology applications, and advancements in online payments could potentially save this predicament. The paper further recommends that; the government should enact regulatory changes that lower entrance barriers for financial institutions, support innovation, and safeguard consumers to advance financial inclusion.

Abstract

The integration of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors into corporate strategies has become increasingly relevant in modern business and investment landscapes. This study examines the impact of ESG disclosure on financial performance, the influence of regulatory frameworks, and the challenges associated with ESG adoption. A systematic review of academic literature reveals that transparent ESG reporting enhances investor confidence, reduces capital costs, and fosters long-term business value. Regulatory interventions, such as the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), play a crucial role in improving ESG disclosure quality, yet inconsistencies in reporting standards and data reliability concerns persist. Despite the positive correlation between ESG disclosure and corporate performance, challenges such as skepticism regarding ESG metrics and variations in reporting practices pose obstacles to full integration. This study underscores the necessity of refining ESG audit mechanisms and developing standardized reporting frameworks to ensure credibility and comparability across industries and regions. Future research should focus on exploring sector-specific ESG impacts, refining regulatory measures, and leveraging technological advancements to enhance ESG reporting accuracy. Strengthening ESG integration not only aligns businesses with evolving stakeholder expectations but also contributes to sustainable economic growth and corporate accountability.

Abstract

Fraud detection in accounting and auditing has evolved significantly due to technological advancements and regulatory developments. This study reviews existing literature on the impact of artificial intelligence, big data analytics, and organizational ethics in strengthening fraud detection. Using a comprehensive methodology, relevant sources from Google Scholar, JSTOR, ScienceDirect, and other academic databases were analyzed to identify key trends and challenges in forensic auditing. Findings indicate that machine learning algorithms significantly enhance fraud detection accuracy, while organizational commitment to ethical standards plays a crucial role in fostering a transparent audit environment. Regulatory frameworks, although essential, must strike a balance to avoid undue constraints on auditors. The study also highlights the necessity of continuous auditor training to optimize the application of emerging technologies in fraud detection. These insights underscore the importance of integrating technological advancements with ethical and regulatory considerations to improve fraud detection efficiency. Future research should focus on refining AI-based audit tools and developing tailored regulatory frameworks that promote both compliance and audit independence.

Abstract

This narrative review explores the dynamics of social accountability within public sector accounting by synthesizing empirical studies and theoretical frameworks across multiple countries. The objective is to identify key drivers and systemic barriers that influence the effectiveness of social accountability mechanisms. Drawing on literature from databases such as Scopus, Google Scholar, and PubMed, the study employs a thematic analysis to examine the roles of public participation, digital governance, cultural norms, fiscal transparency, and regulatory frameworks. Results indicate that public engagement, when supported by digital platforms and inclusive policies, significantly enhances transparency and institutional trust. However, challenges persist, especially in developing countries, where bureaucratic rigidity, limited resources, and misalignment between global standards and local values hinder reform efforts. The discussion underscores the necessity for integrated governance models that emphasize participatory and transparent processes tailored to sociocultural contexts. Key systemic factors such as independent oversight institutions, technological capacity, and ethical leadership emerge as crucial enablers. The findings suggest that strengthening internal institutional capacity, realigning regulatory reforms with societal expectations, and leveraging technology are essential for advancing social accountability. This review calls for further empirical studies to develop adaptive, context-sensitive frameworks that embed social values in public financial reporting. Ultimately, a people-centered, interdisciplinary approach is imperative for transforming public sector governance into a more accountable and transparent system.
