Abstract

Purpose: This study explored the viability of forensic accounting techniques in combating financial statement fraud in Nigerian organizations. The study specifically examined the relationship between forensic accounting techniques and fraud deterrence; and, the viability of forensic accounting techniques to enforce corporate policies and procedures. Research methodology: The study adopts the survey research design. The sampling frame comprised accounting lecturers and chartered accountants in two geographical locations of Anambra State. The study utilized non-probability sampling to mitigate non-response bias and to select knowledgeable respondents. The final retrieved questionnaires were fifty. The primary data were analyzed using Pearson correlation analysis. Results: The Pearson correlation results showed a positive association between forensic accounting techniques (FAT) and fraud deterrence. Secondly, there is a positive association between forensic accounting techniques and the enforcement of corporate policies. Limitations: The main limitation was the small sample size from the retrieved questionnaires future studies can therefore widen the sampling frame and explore other sectors. The study also spanned one of the South-eastern States limiting generalizability. Contribution: The study contributes to the literature in the context of developing countries, on the continuing viability of forensic accounting techniques (FAT) in detecting financial statement fraud in its various multifarious forms in such countries with weak institutional environments compared to developed countries. The study also adds to the literature on the viability of forensic accountants in enforcing corporate policies and procedures which is useful in an organizational research context.

Abstract

Purpose: The objective of this study is to ascertain the nexus of accounts payable turnover and firm performance of quoted manufacturing firms in Nigeria. Research methodology: This study adopted an ex-post facto research design. The sample comprised seventy-five non-financial firms quoted on the Nigerian Exchange Group (NGX). The study purposively selected all available non-financial firms during the study period: 2010-2019. This study utilized secondary sources of data, i.e., computed financial ratios from annual financial statements downloaded from the MachameRatios® database. The data were analyzed using multiple regression techniques. Results: There is a non-significant positive effect of the accounts payable turnover ratio on ROA (p=0.9729) and ROE (p=0.2669); and; a significant negative effect of the accounts payable turnover ratio on Tobin’s Q (p=0.0140). Conlusion:Accounts payable turnover has no significant effect on ROA and ROE but negatively affects Tobin’s Q. This highlights its limited impact on accounting returns but notable influence on market value. Strategic management of payables remains essential. Limitations: The limitation of the study is the failure to account for endogeneity concerns in firm performance studies. Contribution: The study contributes to the working capital management literature and specifically to the credit management axiom. It also showed a differential effect of APT on various firm performance proxies which have significant implications for managers, e.g., finance officers in corporations that intend to utilize the accounts payable turnover as a strategy to grow the performance of the firm in the short and long term.
