Abstract

Purpose: Prior studies conducted to investigate the issues of CEO political connection and shareholding on financial distress remain inconclusive. It is based on the above, that this study is set out to examine the effect of CEO political connection and shareholding on the financial distress of DMBs. Methodology/approach: This study adopted an ex post facto research design based on the nature and the problem of the research. The study utilized annual financial data from quoted DMBs from 2012 to 2021. The data were subjected to diagnostic tests and the Hausman test selected the use of REM over the FEM for testing the hypotheses. Results/findings: The main results show that CEOP (?=0.275582; p=0.7029) had a positive non-significant effect on financial distress; CEOS (?=-0.201171; p=0.0039) had a negative significant effect on financial distress. Limitations: The study does not include other control variables such as firm size and firm leverage which can also affect financial distress. Contribution: This research contributes first, from the focus on developing country settings is important from a theoretical and empirical standpoint because the findings help us comprehend how political connection and shareholding status of CEOs determine the distress score of the DMBs in the absence of a supportive corporate and legal framework. Novelty: This study from the context of a developing nation with weak institutional governance, examines how CEO political connection and shareholding explain the financial distress score of the DMBs which prior studies have weakly examined.

Abstract

Purpose: Prior research has demonstrated the critical role that climate change disclosure plays in solving global sustainability challenges connected to human existence and the long-term viability of businesses. The goal of this study is to add to the existing literature on the impact of climate change-related disclosure on the financial performance of oil and gas companies in Nigeria. Research Methodology: The study adopted an ex post facto research design, and the final sample consisted of eight oil and gas companies listed on the NGX for the year 2012-2021. The final sample consisted of a balanced panel of 80 firm-year observations. The dependent variable was Return on Assets (ROA). Data were analyzed using a multiple regression model. Results: The findings showed a positive relationship between CCRD and ROA, which was also confirmed to be significant at the 5% significance level. Limitations: The model includes leverage, audit quality, and firm size, in addition to CCRD, to account for their effect on ROA. Therefore, other factors that may affect firm performance are not included in the model. Contribution: This study addresses one of the most important but less explored issues of environmental research in one of the largest economies in SSA. The data collected from the content analysis are original and provide important evidence of the impact of CCRD on firm performance. These findings encourage oil and gas companies to reduce their carbon emissions and disclose their carbon management activities.
