Purpose: The study aims to investigate the timing theory and its impact on the financial structure and how to interpret the decisions of the financial structure of the companies registered in the Iraq Stock Exchange. Theoretical framework: Financial structure decisions are influenced by market timing. an effect of market timing on the financial structure was not continuous over time, but rather for specific periods of time.Basically, the market timing theory according to a scale approved by Wurgler and Baker consists of five sub-dimensions: the firm size, the structure of tangible assets, profitability, the market value of the stock to its book value, the weighted rate of external financing. Design/methodology/approach: The focus of this study is to test the effect of the market timing theory on the financial structure of the Iraqi industrial companies registered in the Iraq Stock Exchange using the Baker and Wurgler (2002) model. The market timing theory is taken as independent variable, while financial leverage in terms of market- book value is taken as dependent variable. The Panel Data model and the theory equation were used to analyze the study sample of 16 Iraqi companies registered in various industrial sectors out of 43 companies during the period 2008-2020. Findings: The results showed that the market timing theory has continuous effects when using the book and market leverage. It also has an impact on the financial structure of Iraqi companies through the most important determinants of the financial structure in Iraq, including the firm size FS, asset tangibility AT, and profitability PR. New determinants were also added like market to book value MTB and external finance weighted-average WMTB in the short term. Research, Practical & Social implications: This study has taken two separate models to analyses the impact of market timing theory on the financial structure of Iraqi companies. It is searched that circulation of stock in Iraqi market is negligible due to less amount of profit given to stockholders. Originality/value: Previous studies investigated the factors affecting the capital structure of banks that are registered in Iraq stock exchange. Growth, profitability, size and liquidity are few characteristics of banks that are included in previous research work, but the significance of this study is that it incorporates two other new determinants of banks which are market to book value (MTB) and external finance weighted average (WMTB).

One of the major macroeconomic indicators of the country, which essence signifies the vital aspect of the whole population, is unemployment. It poses significant challenges for all countries since employment stands as one of the key determinants for economic growth. To be precise, employment provides the means for living for all people to sustain not only their social but economic and political well-being as well. Therefore, it is a subject of great importance for states to maintain low unemployment rates, and those of the great authority should contribute to the establishment of policies regarding the development of the unemployment indicator.

Mentoring is the practical means of transferring of university culture, value, ethics and profession to the next generation. It is a way of ensuring that the university system maintains a particular standard and even improved. It is unfortunate that most universities’ mentoring programme In Nigeria is faced with a lot of problems. This paper looked at problems that has militated against the development of academic mentoring in the Nigerian universities. Secondary data were used in the paper and they were gathered from print publications and online journals. The paper identified lack of mentorship policy, strike Actions, poor funding, and inadequate attention from mentors, abuse of mentorship norms, lack of trust, poor communication, academic conflict and lack of freedom of mentees to express their ideas as problems that has militated against the development of mentorship programme in the universities in Nigeria. Based on these problems, the paper recommended that National Universities Commission should direct universities to institutionalization mentoring programme. Government should implement all agreement reached with different trade unions in the universities to prevent strike actions. Government should increase the funding of university education in Nigeria. National Universities Commission should organize workshops for senior academic on effective skills for mentorship in the universities. National Universities Commission should organize workshops for the junior lecturers (mentees) on mentoring processes and guide line for effective mentorship in the university system. This will help the mentees to learn the process of being mentored.

Ghana has had a constant progress in cementing its democracy since its restoration to democratic governance in 1992, making it one of the most often cited success stories of democracies in Africa. Despite this achievement, the independence of anti-corruption institutions in Ghana such as the Auditor General,(AG), Commission of Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ), Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO), Public Procurement Authority, (PPA), Internal Audit Agency (IAA), Office of Special Prosecutor (OSP) and others is over prejudice in terms of appointment of the Heads of these institutions, removal and budgeting as specified in Ghana’s, 1992 Constitution empowering the president of Ghana as the sole appointor, remover and budget allocator hence making it difficult for these institutions to function effectively. This makes it a political gimmick when any other government talk about fighting corruption in its current form of constitutional arrangement. This research uses a qualitative method of collecting data. Due to these constitutional gaps, it shows that corruption remains a scourge that has eaten through the political fabric of the nation. All facets of the Ghanaian government are corrupt and accountability is often lacking. The criminals often get away with it. It is therefore recommended that the appointment, removal and budget of these anti-corruption institutions should be vested on Parliament through the Appointment Committee of Parliament. Their tenure of office should not directly match with any particular elected government tenure.

Over the course of time, corruption has evolved into a pervasive force that consistently undermines the moral fabric of society. It is widely acknowledged as the foremost impediment to a nation's progress, particularly in the realms of poverty alleviation and the reduction of inequality. This is especially true especially for developing countries like Ghana. The insidious and escalating nature of corruption renders it highly contagious across all sectors of society, thereby necessitating a thorough assessment of the phenomenon. Hence, the paper holistically, examined the issue of corruption specifically on the topic “from corruption to state capture, the relevance of anti- corruption institution”. Salient issues that surfaced included an overview of corruption and state capture, some anti-corruption institutions and their role as well as the challenges encountered by these anti-corruption institutions in performing their functions as well astheir role and significance in solving a state capture level of corruption through informal strategies like Co-optation, Control and Camouflage. The paper adopted a qualitative methodology for flexibility and broader data. Out of this a conclusion was drawn and some recommendations made for policy makers attention and action.
