The institution of zakah is the cornerstone of the Islamic economic system and the disbursement of the zakah fund in line with the Qur’anic injunction ensures equitable distribution and transfer of wealth from the rich to the poor. However, zakah practice in many Muslim countries left wide gap especially in realizing the goal of zakah in poverty reduction. For instance, zakah on employment income is largely neglected despite its juristic backing and changing economic structure that creates high professional income earners that form either upper middle class or lower middle class of the society. The objective of this paper is to explore the intention of income earners to pay zakah on their employment income in Kano State as this will add to the zakatable sources of the State Zakah commission. The paper employed Theory of Reasoned Action to examine the behavioral intention of 300 academics across Kano state government owned tertiary educational institutions to pay zakah on their income. Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the data collected. The overall result shows that the respondents have favorable behavioral intention towards payment of zakah on employment income. Specifically, the positive effect of both attitudinal beliefs and subjective norm on the behavioral intention is revealed. Hence, the need to come up with a comprehensive policy that will boost zakah collection, consequently its distribution to reduce extreme poverty in the state.

Objective This study investigated the impact of risk committee characteristics on the risk disclosure quality (RDQ) of listed insurance firms in Nigeria from 2011-2021.Design/Methodology Data for the research was generated from the annual reports and financial statements of seventeen listed insurance firms sampled out of a population of twenty-one. The study employed descriptive summary statistics, correlation analysis, regression analysis and factor analysis to analyze the data gathered.Results Using factor analysis, it was found that Risk Disclosure Quantity (RDQUANT) has the highest eigenvalue, making it the composite quality of the risk disclosure of listed insurance firms and denoting that the RDQ of insurance firms is best measured by the RDQUANT. Using GLS regression, it was found that Risk Committee Size (RCS) and Risk Committee Meeting (RCM) have a significant positive impact on the RDQ of Listed Insurance firms in Nigeria. Contrary, Risk Committee Executive Presence (RCEXP) has an insignificant negative impact on the RDQ of the listed insurance firms.Research limitations/implications This result influences the efforts of regulatory authorities in their attempt to develop resilient corporate governance codes that guarantee qualitative risk disclosures. The study recommends that regulatory authorities in the Nigerian insurance industry should mandate the establishment of large risk committees and set higher thresholds for committee meetings over and above the traditional quarterly meeting. The risk committee should be composed of a lower number of executive directors.Novelty/Originality The originality of this study lies in the usage of factor analysis to determine the best measure of risk disclosure quality in Nigeria. In addition, this is the first study of its kind to determine the impact of risk committee attributes on risk disclosure quality in the Nigerian Insurance industry.

Purpose : In the last couple of years, the Nigerian government has vigorously increased its revenue base through economic diversification with an unprecedented focus on taxation. It constitutes an economic burden on the manufacturing companies that pay different types of tax. Therefore, they are left with no option but to optimize their tax avoidance effort to continue to create value for the shareholders. Therefore, this study evaluates the value relevance of corporate tax avoidance in listed consumer goods firms for 12 years (2009-2020). Method : Both Tax Saving (T.S.) and Tax Shelter (TSh) were used as proxies for tax avoidance, while Tabin’s Q (T.Q.) was used to measure value. The study employs correlational research design because it allows the relationship between quantitative data to be established, and the quantitative data from the annual reports and accounts of the firms were analyzed using fixed effect regression, having carried out some robustness tests such as normality, VIF, Heteroskedasticity, and Hausman specification tests respectively.Findings : The study revealed that increased tax savings led to an insignificant reduction in firm value. However, an increase in tax shelter propensity and firm age led to a significant improvement in the value of the firms. Consequently, the study found no empirical evidence to reject the first hypothesis, while the second hypothesis was rejected.Novelty : Despite the paucity of studies in Nigeria, there is no available study in Nigeria to the best of our knowledge that used tax shelter as a measure of tax avoidance, which makes this study novel and different from other few available Nigerian studies.
