Title A name given to the resource Does industrialization promote the emission mitigation agenda of East Africa? a pathway toward environmental sustainability Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Yan Yu, Jingyi Zhao, Mohammed Musah, Michael Owusu-Akomeah, Joseph Akwasi Nkyi, Jing Li, George Oppong Appiagyei Ampong, Emmanuel Attah Kumah, Siqi Cao, Yuxiang Xu, Yingfang Shi, Liqi Wang, Can Hui, Kaodui Li Description An account of the resource Africa’s economy continues to be characterized by increasing environmental pollution caused by anthropogenic activities. Despite the implications of environmental pollution in the continent, little attention has been paid to it, although almost all its countries are signatories to the Paris Agreement. One macroeconomic variable that has proven to be a major driver of environmental pollution in the region is industrialization. However, despite the numerous explorations on the connection between industrialization and environmental degradation, limited studies have examined the linkage amidst the series in East Africa. This study was, therefore, conducted to help fill that gap. In accomplishing this goal, econometric techniques that control cross-sectional correlations, heterogeneity, and endogeneity, among others, were employed for the analysis. From the results, the panel under consideration was heterogeneous and cross sectionally correlated. In addition, the studied series were first differenced stationary and co-integrated in the long run. The elasticities of the regressors were explored via the cross sectionally augmented autoregressive distributed lag (CS-ARDL) estimator, the cross sectionally augmented distributed lag (CS-DL) estimator, and the augmented mean group (AMG) estimator. According to the results, industrialization led to a reduction in the environmental quality in the region through high CO2 emissions. In addition, financial development, foreign direct investments, urbanization, and energy consumption were not environmentally friendly in the bloc.

Title A name given to the resource Public Sector Financial Management Reforms in Developing Economies: Insights from Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource M Owusu-Akomeah, Joseph Asare, Stephen Owusu Afriyie, EA Kuma Description An account of the resource Financial decentralization (FD) is key to bringing development closer to the citizenry. Therefore, there is a need to ensure the judicious use of funds mobilized by local authorities to bring about the desired level of development. To achieve this, governments of developing economies have to put measures in place to safeguard funds raised or provided to the public. One of such measures is the continuous reform of laws and regulations governing the mobilization and utilization of public funds. In Ghana, one of such Public Financial Management Reforms (PFMRs) is the Program Based Budgeting (PBB) which is aimed at ensuring the judicious utilization of public funds while meeting the demands of citizens. This study aimed at assessing the impact of PFMRs, with a special emphasis on fiscal decentralization in a selected Municipal Assembly in Ghana. The investigation used the mixed research method (quantitative and qualitative approaches) of data collection. Also, both primary and secondary data were used in this study. Primary data were collected through questionnaires and interviews, while secondary data were retrieved from the institution’s financial records. The study results revealed that there exists a positive relationship between PFMRs and FD, and a strong linkage between PBB and Service delivery in Municipal Assemblies. However, the assessment of the impact of PBB on service delivery at the selected Municipal Assembly showed a moderate impact. The study also revealed an improvement in revenue mobilization and expenditure, while noticing that resource dependency remains a challenge at the selected Municipal Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Universal Journal of Accounting and Finance Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2022 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=5gEXTVUAAAAJ&citation_for_view=5gEXTVUAAAAJ:4TOpqqG69KYC Language A language of the resource English Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Sustainable Futures Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Mohammed Musah, Isaac Ahakwa, Simplice A Asongu, Michael Owusu-Akomeah, George Oppong Appiagyei Ampong Description An account of the resource This study examines the role of environmental taxes and environmentally-related technologies in the link between natural resources and load capacity factor in G10 nations over the period 1994 to 2019. Using robust econometric techniques, the study reveals that natural resources damage environmental quality by mitigating the nations’ load capacity factor while environmental taxes and environmentally-related technologies promote sustainable environment by increasing load capacity factor. The relevance of environmental taxes and environmentally-related technologies in moderating the effect of natural resources on environmental quality is dampened by extant average levels of natural resources rents which are negative. Policy implications are discussed.

Title A name given to the resource EVALUATING POSTGRADUATE STUDENTS’AWARENESS OF FORENSIC ACCOUNTING AS A TOOL FOR FRAUD DETECTION AND PREVENTION Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Kong Yusheng, Stephen Kwadwo Antwi, Mohammed Musah, Mandella Osei-Assibey Bonsu, Mary Donkor Description An account of the resource The ever-increasing incidence of fraud has raised concerns about the kind of accounting education provided to students all over the world. The importance of forensic accounting as a discipline aimed at helping organizations to detect and prevent fraud has necessitated its inclusion in accounting curriculum of universities to train more capable accountants. This study seeks to examine the awareness of international postgraduate students on forensic accounting as a tool to aid in fraud detection and prevention. A questionnaire was administered with 156 international postgraduate accounting and finance students from 24 different countries studying in universities in China. The results show that there is a very low level of awareness on forensic accounting among international postgraduate students studying in Chinese universities. The findings also indicate the lack of improved forensic accounting integration into the educational curriculum of the universities that the participants pursued their previous accounting degrees. The study recommends that Chinese universities integrate forensic accounting into their accounting curriculum especially at the postgraduate level to introduce students to the emerging discipline. The universities should also mount specialized forensic accounting programs as obtained in most universities in the US to bridge the gap created as a result of lack of awareness among international students, especially from Asia and Africa. This will go a long way to mitigate possible fraud that may arise as a result of investment in the global economy through the Belt and Roads Initiative of China.

Title A name given to the resource The Impact of Working Capital and Debt Financing on the Profitability of Licensed Banks in Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Elizabeth Sena Ajorsu, Jiang Hongli, Mohammed Musah Description An account of the resource This paper examine the impact of working capital and debt financing on the profitability of twenty-two (22) licensed banks in Ghana spanning from 2008 to 2018. To ascertain the influence of working capital and debt financing on the profitability of banks, the study adopt Generalized Linear Square (GLS) estimator and the Robust Random-Fixed Effect Model (RE) to analyzed the data and explaining the model equation. Using a panel data approach, the study found that variable return on equity (ROE) used to measure profitability recorded a positive association with borrower’s collection periods, bank cash conversion cycles, and debt financing presented by long-term debts. Besides, the study also revealed no significant link between short-term debts with ROE. Further, result from the main panel data disclosed that the moderating variables borrowers collection periods and short-term debt (BCP* STD), bank cash conversion cycle and long-term debt (BCCC* LTD) exhibited a significant influence on the profitability surrogated by return on equity (ROE). Whereas, the other interacting variables including BCP* LTD and BCCC* STD recorded no significant impact on return on equity. The study suggests that for banks to increase their profitability and maximize shareholder's worth it recommended that working capital and debt financing is imperative which need to be managed efficiently and effectively to uphold the confidence in the Ghanaian banking industry.
