Title A name given to the resource Assessing the Challenges to the Effective Implementation of Monitoring and Evaluation Of Projects (A Perspective of the Construction Industry In Ghana.) Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Kwasi Atta Mpong Description An account of the resource Projects monitoring and evaluation provide stakeholders with ceaseless inputs for the implementation, execution, interval and terminal assessments of ongoing projects. It has been established that monitoring and evaluation is an aspect of project management that needs the commitment of all stakeholders involved in the project. In Ghana, efforts are being made to monitor and evaluate projects to ensure favorable outcome and minimize wastage. This research study focuses on examining the role and challenges of monitoring and evaluation of Tema Development Corporation Projects using FOAT. The researcher adopted the both descriptive and quantitative analysis as a methodology. In view of that, questionnaires were administered to various professionals on board projects within the TDC’s domain. This approach was considered because it offers better investigation and in-depth examining of issues to get required responses. Findings from the research revealed that the M&E roles played by staff in TDC were not enough to support effective and efficient M&E management on TDC projects. The application of FOAT assessment tool was found to be difficult in terms of usage in the M & E activities of TDC, this exposed the fact that there was no clear effectiveness and credibility that the monitoring and evaluation activities of TDC’s M&E and National Integrated M&E promotes and strengthens connectedness and collaboration in governance. Responses from the questionnaires administered goes further to prove that there was lack of clear roles and effective organizational structures within TDC’s monitoring and evaluation activities. The final Outcome Measurement of projects undertaken by TDC was the key indicator in measuring projects by the corporation. This study was the first of its kind since the FOAT is commonly used only by municipal and district assemblies rather than other state owned enterprises. The study did not extend to the development of M&E theories. This study goes further to make recommendations on the possible means to curb these challenges and measures to implement effective M&E practices using the FOAT as an assessment tool.

Title A name given to the resource Assessing the Concept of Local Content in Ghana’s Upstream Oil and Gas Sector. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Rhoda Arthur Description An account of the resource The study sought to present an assessment of the concept of local content in Ghana’s upstream oil and gas sector. It employed the mixed method Research Approach using both semi-structured interviews and questionnaires to collect data with study population being actors in the upstream oil and gas industry in Ghana. The mixed method was used with questionnaire and interview used to collect data. The purposive sampling was applied. to select 25 employees and 5 experts in the oil and gas industry. The study revealed that the local content policy was being implemented and monitored for effective compliance to be achieved. However, it is more effective with non- technical activities as compared to technical activities. The reason being that unlike other business sectors, the upstream technical environment needs a suite of qualification to fit in owing to its risky environment. Again it was revealed that most Ghanaians do not have the appetite to work in the technical environment. It was recommended that there should be more strategic alliances among local firms to enhance their capacity for contract award and execution. Also, compliance to the local content fund should be intensified while local institutions and universities should be given the necessary accreditations to train and provide the needed certifications required to work in the upstream industry. Local banks Ghana should be encouraged to provide financial support to indigenous Ghanaian. Subject The topic of the resource MBA.

Title A name given to the resource Assessing the Contributions of CSR Activities to the Educational Sector Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Robert Ebo Hinson Description An account of the resource Corporate social responsibility (CSR) in education comes in the form of private investment in educational infrastructure with the aim of developing the human capital of the society. Even though many have the opinion that the provision of universal equitable education is the sole role of the government of the day, others also believe complete access and quality of education comes from the contribution of private entities. However, issues relating to access and quality of education, inadequate teaching and learning materials, quality of both teaching and non-teaching staff, the motivation of educational workers, irrelevant curriculum, high illiteracy, and joblessness are still very much alive and can affect the growth and development potential of countries. As a result of this, governments and, for that matter, the corporate sector work together to strengthen the education sector to create a win-win situation for all stakeholders. It is with this view that this chapter has been written where it assesses the contributions of CSR activities in the education sector in developed and developing countries.

Title A name given to the resource Assessing the Determinants of Public-Private Partnership Investment Decision Making: A Case Study of the Energy Sector in Ghana. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Gertrude Amoakohene Description An account of the resource This study is intended to unravel the determinants of PPP investment decisions in the energy sector to help potential investors and also fill in the knowledge gap. To address the problem, the study adopted mixed method research to analyse the determinants of PPP investment decision to invest in the energy sector of Ghana. The study iidentified five factors that determined the PPP investment decision to invest in the energy sector of Ghana. These are investment opportunities; financial information /government policies; macroeconomic factors; investment promotion agencies and risk. The study found out that PPP investment decision in the energy sector of Ghana was mainly influenced by financial information/government policies which were as a result of the energy crisis experienced between the periods of 2012 to 2015. The study explained that the fact that Ghana had to wait till they got into a severe energy crisis before acting made the country signed on to contracts that did not favour the country. Again the appropriate procedures were not followed to secure the investment. The macroeconomic factors such as inflation and interest rate were significant for explaining the PPP investment decision to invest in the energy sector of Ghana. The researcher recommends that strong policies and clear guideline to signing on contracts that give the country value for money should be explored. Also an efficient public institutions and potential demand for power should be encourage PPP initiative for investment in the energy sector of Ghana.

Title A name given to the resource Assessing the Effect of Internal Control Systems on Financial Performance of Rural Banks in Brong Ahafo Region in Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Asante Effah Description An account of the resource For banks to be effective and efficient there is the need to put measures in place to strengthen the internal controls to avoid misappropriation of financial resources and also to protect the assets of the organization. The main purpose of the study is to assess the impact of the internal control systems on financial performance of rural banks in the Brong Ahafo region of Ghana. The study utilized the COSO framework as variables to model a conceptual framework for the study. From the conceptual and theoretical framework, six hypotheses were stated and tested using structural equation model. Quantitative research methods with exploratory and descriptive designs were used in this study. Data were collected from all the 22 rural banks in the Brong Ahafo region. The underlying paradigm for the study is pragmatism that facilitated the utilization of suitable methodologies to answer the research questions. There were 257 structured questionnaires that were distributed out of which 211 were returned and 202 valid questionnaires were analysed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings of the study indicate that the relationships between the variables stated were not significant in their ability to ensure financial performance of rural banks. This clearly suggests that control environment, risk assessment, control activities, information and communication, monitoring procedures in Ghana have lost touch with the activities on the controls. This means that most rural banks fail to perform due to the lack of attention given to its supervision. Finally, the study recommends that banks must put pragmatic measures in place to make sure the internal controls are strengthened within rural banks.

Title A name given to the resource Assessing the Effects of Total Quality Management in Biomedical Engineering Services: A Case Study of Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Cynthia Fremah Gyakye Description An account of the resource The quest for providing quality services and quality biomedical devices in our hospital to ensure effective but efficient patients expectation cannot be overemphasized within the space of increasing competition and frequent lawsuits of patients on quality healthcare. The main purpose of the study was to assess the effects of total quality on the project operational effort of biomedical engineering services at Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital, Ghana’s premier teaching hospital with the aim of adding value to healthcare service delivery. Research methodology deployed was descriptive statistics for which Kruskal-Wallis a non-parametric group analysis was used to obtain the p-values and the median marks that compared means score from each group based on the cut-of-point of 4.00. It was found from the study that total quality management concept is less understood and practiced among biomedical engineering unit of Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital (KBTH). It was further found that challenges such as lack of top management support, poor definition of quality as process improvement practice, lack of collaboration and teamwork in Biomedical Engineering Unit, lack of training or practice of Total Quality Management, changing organizational need & culture towards quality improvement practices, less employees empowerment to undertake quality initiatives, less employees empowerment to undertake quality initiatives, among others were identify from the study. However, it was found that these challenges impact on healthcare delivery and affect Biomedical Engineering Services at KBTH as it increases cost of operations, increased system, and technology failure negatively; standard specifications procedures are followed, and improves organizational culture towards quality whiles contributing to continuous process improvement at KBTH improves biomedical engineering service positively. To improve performance, the following suggestions are made to be incorporated into management decision in improving healthcare delivery at KBTH. That there should be leadership, management commitment and resources support, communication to total quality policy, definition with management’s employees empowerment through training and education, changing organizational culture towards quality, improve internal customer satisfaction and implementing quality management systems among others.

Title A name given to the resource Assessing the Environmental Impacts due to oil spillage resulting from Oil and Gas products Transportation: A case study of Chase Petroleum g Ghana Limited Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Diakite Mody Seydou Description An account of the resource Oil spillage is a global worry which is associated with any oil and gas activities mainly during oil and gas products transportations. It is undoubtedly the most responsible for marine and terrestrial organisms acute killing causing biodiversity loss and desertification, human health threatening by several ways which can lead to mortality, loss of job increasing poverty and starvation and displacement; in short it is human’s nightmare. These can no longer continue otherwise the earth will be rendered unlivable for all living things and announced the end for human. In this research, the researcher used both quantitative and qualitative approaches to collect data. Its primary data were gathered from Chase Petroleum Ghana Limited which is one of the largest Ghanaian bulk distribution oil companies while its secondary data were collected from peer reviews, journal and internet. The findings showed that on all environmental issues exposed a mean of 29 respondents representing (71.7%) had admitted oil spillage to have extreme concern in all cases, a mean of six 6 accounting (14.4%) expressed that oil spillage played moderate concern in all cases, and a mean of five 5 weighting (13.9%) attributed that oil spillage produced low concern in all cases. For mitigating such impacts and avoiding similar fail in Ghana mining sector, the research findings demonstrated that the implementation and enforcement of health, safety and environment (HSE) practices have been effective in Chase Petroleum Ghana Limited, but these practices alone are not able to ensure safety during oil and gas products transportation. Therefore, finding showed that they had to be complemented by the following strategies for an effective regulation in order laws enforcement, binding national environmental laws concerning oil and gas transportation to international environmental laws, establishment of national legislations addressing only oil and gas industry, and implementation of Environmental Management System (EMS).

Title A name given to the resource Assessing the Ict Audit Practices in Ghanaian Private Sector Companies; A Case Study of Kpmg-Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Theophilus Nii Armah Description An account of the resource Efficiency and productivity in audit assurance has compelled auditors to apply tools of information technology and systems to facilitate work in both private and public institutions. These computer-based platforms assist both internal and external auditors to minimize errors, fraud and omissions to ensure accountability, transparency and value for money in corporate organizations. Although several businesses and organizations incur huge cost to deploy information and communication technology infrastructure, the purpose and value for acquisition is often not realized in the presence of technological advancement due to some determinants. This study was conducted mainly to focus on ICT audit and its necessitation. It also took into consideration the experiences, advantages and disadvantages or setbacks if any and why other organizations must integrate it into their systems. The study was undertaken considering Ghanaian private sectors with the main focus being on Klynveld, Peat, Marwick and Goerdeler (KPMG) auditing company. Its significance is to enhance system security and minimize vulnerabilities on infrastructure deployments and processes and to offer a guideline that is aimed at aiding companies in terms of policy enforcement. It can also help expatiate the possibility and importance of retaining company’s internal auditors and realign their mandate since most tasks and mandate has been provisioned to be handled by all enterprise systems. The study employed the use of mixed method thus the use of both qualitative and quantitative methods. Qualitative part of the study employed the use of semi structured meetings, face to face interviews, telephone interviews and secondary data obtained from the literature. The quantitative methods involved mainly the use surveys in the form of questionnaires. The data was obtained from a sample size of 20 staffs which were up of two (2) Leadership and Management Personnel, three (3) Heads of Department, six (6) Technical team staffs and nine (9) junior staff on ICT audit.

Title A name given to the resource ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF ENVIRONMENTAL ACCOUNTING DISCLOSURE ON CORPORATE PERFORMANCE IN CHINA. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Andrew Agyemang, Kong Yusheng, Maxwell Kongkuah, Alhassan Musah, Mohammed Musah Description An account of the resource The Chinese government has recently adopted green accounting as part of its national sustainable development plan, which highlights the importance of standardizing corporate environmental accounting. However, there is a lack of research on the impact of environmental accounting information disclosure (EAID) on firm performance in a specific industry in China. This study aims to fill this gap by exploring the relationship between EAID and firm performance using a sample of 34 listed mining companies and secondary data from 2000 to 2018. The study identifies 12 variables to measure firm performance and uses Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to reduce them to four factors. The Generalized Methods of Moments (GMM) regression analysis is then employed to analyze the data. The results show that there is a positive relationship between EAID and return on equity and quick ratio, while return on assets (ROA) has a positive but insignificant link with EAID. These findings are significant in the literature on environmental disclosures and performance from an industry perspective.

Title A name given to the resource Assessing The Impact of Information Security Awareness on Organization’s Operations towards Mitigating Vulnerabilities in Federal College of Education (Technical), Gusau-Nigeria A Case Study of Federal Colege Of Education [Technical] Gusau Zamfara State Nigeria Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Lawali Yau Description An account of the resource Information Security is a process of protecting the Confidentiality, Availability and Integrity of the information and information resources against unauthorized user. Educational institutions become increasingly dependent on information systems for strategic planning and operations, preservations and access. But due to the openness nature of educational institution the information asset and resources of the educational institution becomes the prime target of cyber attackers. Most institutions and organizations provide technology-based solution to the security vulnerabilities within their domain. But according to the literature, success in the information security could only be achieved when organizations invest both on technical and socio-organizational solutions. The technical aspect addresses the technology-based solutions, while the socio-organizational resources address the employee compliance with security policies and management. This research project investigates the socio-organizational resources in the tertiary institutions in North-West Nigeria. The research specifically investigates the influence of employee awareness towards providing security measures in the institutions. The research adopted the TAM principle to address whether awareness of information security policy, management, and breaches influence employee attitude towards mitigating security vulnerabilities in the institutions. The result indicated that, there is a high significant influence of ISPA, ISMA, and ISBA on employee attitudes towards providing security measures in the institution. The result also indicated that, 60-80 percent of the respondents intend to be applying security measures to mitigate security vulnerabilities in the institutions.
