Abstract

This study was interested in unraveling the efficacy of investors’ protection on earnings response in an IFRS environment. This is because investors still consider information on investors’ protection besides earnings in taking their decisions. Yet, this rare variable is usually treated with laxity in the firms’ annual reports. The study assessed the interactive effects between IFRS provisions and investors' protection on the Earnings Response Coefficient of listed companies in Nigerian. This study adopted historical-descriptive research design and content analysis research designs. This was conducted using forty six listed companies in Nigerian covering the period of 6 years (2013 to 2018). The data of the study was analyzed using the Partial Least Square. It was discovered that ERC improves with the moderating effect of strong investors’ protection in an IFRS environment. It is therefore recommended that firms listed in the Nigerian stock exchange should as a result of necessity improve on their investors' protection in order to promote a high earnings response coefficient under an IFRS environment

Abstract

The study focused on taxpayers’ attitude and demographic analyses of SMEs operators in Rivers and Akwa-Ibom States – Nigeria. It was motivated by the need for Nigerian tax authority to create a well-planned and comprehensive approach to enhance favourable tax attitude in order to deal with the problem of tax evasion; coupled with the lag in sufficient empirical works on tax payers’ attitudes in Nigeria.The objectives of the study were to examine the differential effect of gender, age differences, marital status and educational level on tax payers’ attitudes in Nigeria. Survey research design was adopted. The study was limited to SMEs operators in Rivers and Akwa-Ibom States. From a population of 28,585 SMEs operators, a sample size of 1150 was used. ANOVA was used to test the hypothesis. The findings show that: there is no significant difference on the effect of genders, age differences and marital status on tax payers’ attitudes in Nigeria. However, there is a significant difference on the effect of educational level on tax payers’ attitudes in Nigeria. It was therefore recommended that tax authority should always consider the educational stratification of SMEs operators before developing approaches to instigate favourable tax compliance; and SMEs Operators with high compliance track records should be celebrated by tax authority and they should be encouraged to engage in word-of-mouth communication to communicate to others on the benefits of tax payment
