Abstract

This study aims to understand the challenges of adopting an audit management system in Bangladesh from the perspectives of audit firms. These challenges are also mapped to different contexts within the technological-organizational-environmental (TOE) framework. The authors conducted 10 semi-structured interviews with managers in different audit firms in Bangladesh. The authors used a qualitative exploratory approach by applying coding and thematic analysis to arrive at findings and conclusions. The study's most important finding was the identification of environmental variables as a major driver of adoption. This research has uncovered previously unrecognized elements, such as the need for a professional and regulatory environment conducive to auditing and the value of having access to an Audit Management System in many languages. This research adds to the existing body of knowledge by, among other things, highlighting novel moderating elements of the Theory of Excellence (TOE) Framework. This approach goes beyond the typical auditing focus on the person to include the company and has seen little use in the academic literature. In addition, various audit businesses are analyzed from the vantage point of a developing nation. However, much of the research done so far is Western-centric and focuses on big auditing companies. Whereas earlier research focused on surveys, the semi-structured interviews used in this study allow for a more thorough investigation.

Abstract

Local governments are required to add value to the public good. Internal auditing is a mechanism used to monitors operations of local governments to provide quality municipal services. However, poor delivery by local governments has necessitated this paper to examine the link between internal auditing and institutional performance of four selected local governments in the Central Region of Ghana. Using interpretivism philosophy and in-depth interview design, purposive sampling procedure was used to select 12 key informants to provide primary data using interview guide. The key informants were two internal auditors, two Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Co-ordinating Directors, four Chairpersons of Audit Committees, three District Auditors, and one Regulator at national level. Secondary data were also collected from various documents through library search. Data were analysed manually using content analysis and pattern matching. The study revealed that the internal auditing carried out did not enhance performance of the selected local governments as they did not perform the day-to-day functions to expectation and sanctions were not applied to perpetrators of irregularities in operations. The performance of local governments is supposed to be enhanced if internal audit recommendations are implemented by management and perpetrators of irregularities are sanctioned.

Abstract

This research delves into the critical analysis of liquidity and solvency ratios and their profound impact on a company's financial performance. The study seeks to explore the relationship between these ratios and their influence on short-term liquidity and long-term solvency, ultimately contributing to decision-making processes for businesses and investors. Through a quantitative approach and cross-sectional design, the research evaluates data sourced from financial statements, annual reports, and databases. It employs statistical techniques, including correlation analysis and regression models, to interpret the relationships between liquidity and solvency ratios and financial indicators. The research also uncovers industry-specific variations in these ratios to provide tailored insights for various sectors. The findings highlight the significance of these ratios in assessing a company's financial health. Strong liquidity ratios, such as the current and quick ratios, were associated with improved short-term financial stability. Simultaneously, lower debt-to-equity ratios and higher interest coverage ratios signaled stronger long-term financial stability. These interrelated ratios were crucial for both businesses and investors, guiding strategic financial planning, risk management, and investment decisions. The practical implications of these findings demonstrate the significance of maintaining balanced liquidity and solvency positions. These insights provide practical guidance for businesses in formulating financial strategies, managing risks, and enhancing investor confidence. For investors, the findings empower more informed decision-making, fostering risk assessment and portfolio diversification. Overall, this research contributes significantly to the field of financial analysis, offering practical implications for businesses and investors. The implications of liquidity and solvency ratios are instrumental in shaping the financial landscape, allowing for more informed, resilient, and strategic decision-making processes for stakeholders in the financial sphere.

Abstract

This research investigates the intricate relationship between financial leverage and two key financial performance indicators, Return on Equity (ROE) and Earnings Per Share (EPS), within the property and real estate industry. By analyzing empirical data and conducting rigorous statistical analyses, this study has unveiled significant insights into the financial dynamics and decision-making processes that govern this dynamic sector. The findings indicate a robust, positive correlation between financial leverage and ROE, reaffirming the notion that judicious employment of debt financing can amplify profitability and returns for shareholders in the property and real estate industry. However, the analysis also reveals that the impact of financial leverage on EPS is more nuanced, reflecting the multifaceted nature of per-share profitability influenced by operational efficiency, market conditions, and industry-specific dynamics. The practical implications of these findings extend to companies, investors, and policymakers within the property and real estate sector. Companies can utilize these insights to optimize their debt structures, manage financial risk, and enhance their attractiveness to investors. These insights offer a roadmap for balanced financial decision-making, enabling companies to strike the right equilibrium between leveraging debt for growth and maintaining financial stability. This research not only contributes to the existing body of literature in corporate finance but also provides industry-specific evidence, fostering a deeper understanding of financial decision-making and its consequences within the property and real estate sector. As this sector continues to evolve, the findings from this study serve as a valuable compass for well-informed and strategic decision-making, enriching our comprehension of financial dynamics and shaping the future of companies, investors, and the industry itself.

Abstract

Globally, local governments are required to minimise risks and adopt effective and efficient control structure to enhance delivery of public services to the people. In Ghana, some local governments record risk management and control irregularities that affect public service delivery. This paper examined the components of the risk management and control structure in four local governments in Central Region of Ghana to determine the pitfalls. The study employed a qualitative design to purposively select 14 key informants to provide primary data. They were two Internal Auditors, three Co-ordinating Directors, three Chairpersons of Audit Committees, two District Auditors, one regulator from the Central Region, and three regulators at the national level. Secondary data sources were the District Auditors’ and Auditor-General’s reports and other documents related to the study. Key informant interview and document review were the data collection methods and interview guide and document review guide were the data collection instruments. Pattern matching and content analysis were employed as the main tools for analysing the primary data. Desk review was used to analyse the secondary data. The study revealed that weak composition of the Audit Committees and management bodies’ philosophy and operating style did not help the selected local governments to provide the people’s needs to expectation
