Abstract

Purpose: This study investigates how forensic accounting can strengthen public sector accountability and combat corruption in Zimbabwe, a country facing persistent financial irregularities despite existing anti-corruption frameworks. Research methodology: A mixed-methods design was employed, combining qualitative case studies and interviews with forensic auditors and public officials, and quantitative analysis of audit reports and financial misconduct records (2015–2023). Descriptive and inferential statistics (e.g., regression analysis) were used to assess the effectiveness of forensic practices, moderated by internal controls and institutional factors. Results: Findings revealed a significant negative relationship between forensic accounting and fraud incidence (? = -0.58, p < 0.001), and a strong positive association between institutionalized forensic units and financial accountability (? = 0.68, p < 0.001). Integration of forensic and legal mechanisms also enhanced prosecution success rates (? = 0.75, p < 0.001). Qualitative insights confirmed the role of forensic accounting in deterrence, early fraud detection, and evidence-based prosecution. Conclusions: Forensic accounting significantly contributes to improving financial governance, but its effectiveness depends on internal control quality, legal integration, and institutional support. Challenges such as political interference and resource constraints hinder its full potential. Limitations The study is cross-sectional and may be affected by detection bias and reverse causality. Self-reported data and contextual constraints may limit generalizability. Contribution: This is one of the first comprehensive studies linking forensic accounting to anti-corruption outcomes in Zimbabwe, offering theoretical and practical insights for integrating forensic practices into public financial management.

Abstract

Purpose: This research was conducted at the National Training and Instructor Professional Certification Institute (LSP Pelatinas) using the path analysis method. Research methodology: The author collected data using a questionnaire with a population of 80 respondents from LSP Pelatinas employees. Respondent samples were taken from the entire population with a total sample of 80 employees. Previously, instrument testing was carried out and, after that, analysis requirements were tested using the normality test, linearity test and homogeneity test. The latter performs hypothetical testing with path analysis. Results: This study investigated the influence of competence, training, and motivation on employee performance at LSP Pelatinas (Indonesian National Coaching and Instructor Professional Certification Institute) using a survey method with path analysis on 80 employees. The research findings confirmed that competence, training, and motivation all have significant positive effects on employee performance, with competence emerging as the most influential factor for enhancing organizational performance and employee motivation. Conclusions: The study demonstrates that competence, training, and motivation all have significant positive effects on employee performance at LSP Pelatinas, with competence being the strongest predictor (contributing 24.2%), followed by motivation (76.4%), while these three variables collectively explain 95.7% of the variance in employee performance. Limitations: The research was constrained by limited references on similar studies within LSP Pelatinas context, restricted research scope, reliance solely on Google Forms for data collection without direct interviews, and insufficient time for comprehensive data collection and literature review. Contribution: This study provides empirical evidence for human resource management practitioners and organizational leaders in Indonesian professional certification institutions, contributing to the field of organizational behavior and performance management by demonstrating the significant relationships between competence, training, and motivation on employee performance.

Abstract

Purpose: This study examines the genesis of accountability: a global view. The concept of accountability has been viewed from various disciplinary lenses in order to develop an integrated understanding of the term. Special attention is devoted to principal—agent perspectives from political science and economics. Research methodology: An integrated framework is developed, based on four central observations. (1) Accountability is relational in nature and is constructed through inter- and intra-organizational relationships. (2) Accountability is complicated by the dual role of nonprofits as both principals and agents in their relationships with other actors. (3) Characteristics of accountability necessarily vary with the type of nonprofit organization being examined. (4) Accountability operates through external as well as internal processes, such that an emphasis on external oversight and control misses other dimensions of accountability essential to nonprofit organizations. Results: The study finds that the time has come for individuals, organizations, stakeholders, establishments, institutions and governments to focus on reporting on their programme results, such as inventory take result and product performance result. Limitation: Paucity of data and empirical works were the major restrictions to this study. Contribution: Thus, being clear about intentions, measuring and understanding results, and making adjustments where necessary, would help assure taxpayers/stakeholders that their money is being spent wisely. A focus on results would also help to ensure that limited public resources are being applied in a way that provides the most value to all concerned.

Abstract

Purpose: The study examines the determinants of SMEs international trade promotion in low and lower-middle-income economies. It also aims to further explain the participation or non- participation of SMEs in international trade promotion; recommended policies to increase SMEs' international trade promotion. Design/Research method: The author used the Gravity Theory in economics with mixed methods on the World Bank enterprises Survey dataset 2009 – 2018, using panel data regression models. Tests of multicollinearity using Stata entirely guided the models. The Pairwise correlation, the variance inflation factors, hausman test, testparm, and reverse causality test using the Poisson Pseudo Maximum Likelihood Model estimator were used. Findings: The results show that Small enterprises do not significantly promote international trade, while medium enterprises significantly do. The study finds rule of law, education, bank private credits, firms’ age, and trade openness as major determinants of SME trade promotion while inflation and tax constraints are somewhat determinants. The study found no evidence of reverse causality between exports and SMEs. Limitation: The study is limited in the coverage of the Key Informants Interviews (KII) used by the author to inform the discussion. The KII was only conducted in Liberia with SMEs engaged in exporting while the research data covered 56 low and lower-middle-income economies. Future expansion in the coverage of the KII is recommended. Implication: This study will be useful for policymakers who are engaged with the development of SMEs in low and lower-middle-income countries and academics in the fields of economics and international business management Keywords: Gravity model, SMEs, Trade promotion How to cite: Smith, John Solunta.
