Krejcie and Morgan (1970) simplified sample size decision table were used to derive our sample size of 136. Multiple regression analysis and T-test was used to analyze the data while the respondents’ responses to the questionnaires were selected using purposive sampling technique. The study revealed that forensic accounting services have a significant impact on preventing and detecting fraud in Nigerian DMBs. The study concluded that forensic accountant can be used to design sound internal control system that will prevent and detect frauds in Nigerian Deposit Money Banks.

    (Department of Accounting and Finance, Kwara State University, Malete, 2022) Salaudeen Ibrahim; Abdul-Hakeem Shuaib; Muhammed Basiru Mustapha; Benuh Adama Idris; Tunde Saka Abdulsalam
    Public Sector Performance has been a contemporary discourse among researchers in Nigeria. Despite the formidable regulatory and institutional frameworks put in place to strengthen public sector finance management in Nigeria, the domain continues to struggle with huge financial management infractions that are not in tune with the norms as well as international best practices thereby resulting to performance failure. The main objective of this study was to investigate the influence of Integrated Financial Management information System (IFMIS) on performance of government entities’ in Nigeria. The research design deployed was descriptive and inferential mixed research design using a purposive sampling technique. The study population was 1504 comprises of selected top and middle level pool officers in the Accountant-General for the Federation office on grade level 13 to 17. The study’s primary data source sample size was 306 using Krejcie and Morgan, (1970) while the interview sample size was also 3 (three). Primary data was collected using questionnaire and interview while Partial Least Square was used to analyse the quantitative data and Thematic/NVIVO was used to analyse the Qualitative data. Finding from the quantitative analysis shows that a positive statistically significant relationship exist between the two variables as the path model coefficient results indicates that IFMIS is significantly related to both financial (β = 0.466; p< 0.05) and non-financial performance of government entities’ with (β = 0.490; p< 0.001). Finding from the qualitative analysis corroborated with the quantitative findings, its results however, indicates existence of various challenges ranging from infrastructures deficient as well as capacity building issues for IFMIS operators; The study therefore concludes that IFMIS significantly influence both financial and non- financial performance of government entities with limitations of various challenges. The study recommends therefore, that government should endeavour to provide strong Information Technology (IT) infrastructure and the right capacity building of the operators as it is expected to increase the level of performance in entities’, and assist in providing more meaningful information for decision making process.

    INSTITUTIONALIZING ACCOUNTABILITY: A STRUCTURAL EQUATION MODELLING OF THE IMPACT OF REGULATORY FRAMEWORKS ON FINANCIAL DISCIPLINE IN NIGERIA
    (Department of Accounting and Finance, Faculty of Management and Social Sciences, Kwara State University, Malete, 2025) Abdul-Hakeem Shuaib; Abdulrasheed Taiwo Abdullahi; Salaudeen Ibrahim3; Muhammed Basiru Mustapha; Yusuf Alabi Olumoh
    This study investigates the structural relationship between the Supreme Audit Institution (SAI) regulatory framework and financial accountability within the Nigerian public sector, specifically; it investigates the adequacy of current constitutional provisions governing the Office of the Auditor-General for the Federation (OAuGF) and examines how a lack of direct prosecutorial powers hinders effective financial accountability. Adopting a convergent parallel mixed-methods research design, data was gathered from both quantitative and qualitative populations. The quantitative sample comprised 237senior field officers derived via Krejcie and Morgan tables, while the qualitative data was obtained from interview conducted on four purposively selected experts across academia, law, accounting, and the OAuGF. The quantitative data was analysed using descriptive statistics and Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) while the qualitative data was analysed using thematic Nvivo. Findings revealed that while formal constitutional provisions establishing the OAuGF exist (M = 3.61, SD = 0.971), the existing legal mechanisms are widely considered inadequate for enforcing robust financial accountability due to an obsolete colonial-era framework (Audit Ordinance of 1956). It also reveal that granting the SAI explicit powers to prosecute financial infractions directly would significantly strengthen financial accountability in the public sector (M = 3.21, SD = 1.077).Guided by Institutional Theory, the study recommends amongst others that the Executive immediately assent to the Federal Audit Bill, the National Assembly expand the legislative oversight mandates of the SAI, and constitutional amendments be instituted to formalize modern administrative structures.

    (Entrepreneurial Journal of Management Sciences, 2019) Salaudeen Ibrahim; Mubaraq Sanni; Lukman Adebayo Oke; Abdul-Hakeem Shuaib
    The practice of budgeting in the Nigerian public sector, before the implementation of IPSAS, has become more of annual ritual than a functional activity; hence, no stable yardstick through which relevant stakeholders could evaluate actual performance from estimated activities at the year-end. This study investigates the effect of International Public Sector Accounting Standard (IPSAS) 18, 22 & 24 disclosure requirements on Budget Performance in Nigeria. Data were drawn from the primary source through the use of questionnaire to elicit responses from sampled 257 public servants conversant with information on public budget performance. Multiple Regression was adopted for inferential statistical analysis. The result indicated that IPSAS 18, 22 and 24 disclosure requirements do have significant effect on budget performance in Nigeria public Sector. In view of the findings it was recommended that government should adopt and implement full accrual IPSAS to ensure effective management of public funds and proper accountability. Those saddled with the responsibility of carrying out over-sight functions and monitoring of budget implementation should be trained on the IPSASs implementation and application
