Firm characteristics and access to bank financing: Evidence from SMEs in North Central Nigeria
(Amity Journal of Finance, 2019) Lukman Adebayo Oke; Mubaraq Sanni; Muftau Adeniyi Ijaiya
The paucity of finance to SMEs, widely reported in the literature has continued to undermine the potential of the sector as a driver of economic growth. This scourge has partly been blamed on the SMEs’ observable characteristics. However, the dearth of comprehensive research in this area portends the need for further studies especially in the North Central Nigeria where the problem is reportedly endemic. Against this backdrop, the study examines, from both SMEs and banks’ viewpoints, the impact of firm characteristics on access to bank financing in the North Central Nigeria. The study drew data from the primary source through the adaption of World Bank and OECD Financial literacy questionnaires. A sample of 280 SMEs and 207 loan officers were drawn from the population of 1030 SMEs and 448 banks respectively. Descriptive statistics, binary logit regression model with Marginal effect and Kruskal Wallis H were employed in analyzing the data. From SMEs’ perspective, the results revealed that firm age, incorporation status and industry which are significant at 0.05, 0.01 and 0.1 respectively, are the firm specific characteristics impacting access to bank finance among SMEs whereas firm size is insignificant. From banks’ perspective, all the selected firm characteristics, which are all significant at 0.01, are the factors influencing banks’ credit approval for SMEs in the North Central Nigeria. The study concluded that SMEs in the North Central Nigeria encounter serious paucity of finance as they are virtually oblivious of, or not fully exploring all firm related factors influencing their access to facilities especially from banking institutions. The study, therefore, recommended that SMEs should fully explore all firm factors, at individual level, for improved access to financial market. Also, they should synergise by forming strong alliance and solicit credits as a consortium rather than as individual units to facilitate better access and at relatively cheaper costs.

(Gombe Journal of Administration and Management (GJAM), 2019-11-14) Mubaraq Sanni; Abdulrasaq Mustapha; Adeoluwa Victoria Adekanye
News on the collapse of business organization in Nigeria and by extension across globe particularly in the western economies that ought to have gotten to the awareness of the stakeholders are usually cover up or distorted through the manipulation of accounting figures. External auditors that are expected to discover various accounting manipulation also seems not to be effective. This scenario motivates this study to investigate the effect of audit quality on earnings management of listed manufacturing companies in Nigeria. This study was achieved by examining the effect of audit firm size, joint audit service and auditor's experience on earnings management of the listed manufacturing company in Nigeria. Ex-post facto research design was employed with the population consisting of seventy-six (76) listed manufacturing companies, and sixty-four (64) out of the companies were chosen as the sample size using Krejcie and Morgan (1970) sample size determination table and fifty-five (55) was used due to the availability of data. Descriptive and inferential statistics (random effect regression analysis with OLS techniques) were employed in the analysis of the secondary data collected from the annual reports and accounts of chosen sample companies for the period of five years (2013-2017). The study found out that audit firm size and joint audit service has a significant negative effect on the level of earnings management practice of listed manufacturing companies in Nigeria at 5% significant level (t-value of -0.3238 and -1.1757 with p-value of 0.002 and 0.000 respectively). This audit firm size and joint audit restrict and reduce the level of earnings management in listed manufacturing companies. However, auditor experience has no significant relationship with earnings management (t-value of -0.0021 with p-value0.063). The study thereby concluded that audit firm size and joint audit service has a significant negative impact with earnings management practice of listed manufacturing companies in Nigeria, while auditor's experience has no significance effect. Therefore, the study recommends that management should make use of large audit firms to audit their financial statement and the audit firms should emphasize more on high professional standards.

(Advances in Management, 2016) Mathias Gboyega OGUNDEJI; Abdulrasaq Mustapha; Mubaraq Sanni; Oladipupo Murtala Tijani
This paper considers the impact of corporate governance mechanisms such as board size, independent director, gender diversity, quality of external auditors, managerial compensation and managerial ownership on corporate tax aggressiveness, among sampled quoted manufacturing companies in Nigeria. 24 out of the 32 fisted manufacturing companies on the Nigeria Stock Exchange as at March, 2016 were used for the study. Secondary data of the sampled companies for an investigation period spanning five years from 2010 to 2014 were used in the study. Our study employs on ordinary least square regression analysis to test the impact of afore listed corporate governance mechanisms on corporate tax aggressiveness. We find that the presence of female directors on corporate board reduces the likelihood of corporate tax aggressiveness, while, tax aggressiveness increases with the quality of external auditor, high managerial ownership of shares and high managerial compensation particularly tied to performance measurement. However, results for board size and proportion of outside directors ore not significant for the purpose of the current study. We recommend that, the appointment of more female directors on corporate board should be encouraged; domination of the big four audit firms in providing assurance and non-assurance audit services should be diluted by engagement of other highly structured partnership audit firms; managerial ownership of shares should be minimized and managerial compensation tied to performance should also be regulated. These are necessary to reduce tax aggressiveness in corporate organisation

Institutional Pressures and Accounting Control Practices of Small and Medium Manufacturing Enterprises (SMMEs) in Lagos State
(Journal of Advanced Research in Business and Management Studies, 2022-12-23) Abdulrasaq Mustapha; Mubaraq Sanni
The extent to which institutional pressures inform SMMEs’ choice of accounting controls system seems unclear as considerable evidence in this line of thinking are only available for large firms and public sectors organizations. In view of the foregoing, the study investigated the extent to which institutional pressures (Regulatory, Association and provider of capital pressures) influence Small and Medium Manufacturing Enterprises (SMMEs) choice of accounting control mechanisms (diagnostic budget, interactive budget and comprehensive reward system). The study obtained quantitative data through self-administered questionnaire from randomly selected 262 managers of small and Medium Manufacturing Enterprises in Lagos State. The obtained data were subjected to multiple regression analysis (Ordinary Least Squares). The findings of the study revealed that institutional contingency (association and regulatory) influence the choice of accounting control mechanisms. Specifically, variation in diagnostic budget practice is explained by regulatory pressure),Choice of interactive budget practice is also informed to a greater extent by both regulatory pressure and association pressure, while the choice of comprehensive reward system is driven by both regulatory and association pressure. Based on these findings, the study concludes that managers of Small and Medium Manufacturing Enterprises may use accounting control techniques as driven by association pressures and regulatory pressures not necessarily by the need to achieve goal congruence. Consequently, organizations may unnecessarily incur avoidable cost on the use of accounting control for other purposes that are not goal –congruence. Therefore, SMMEs owners/managers are advised to resist any institutional pressure in the choice of accounting control techniques. Instead, efforts should made towards achieving fit between chosen accounting control technique and the control problems such technique can effectively resolved.

(Gombe Journal of Administration and Management, 2019-11) Mubaraq Sanni; Abdulrasaq Mustapha; Wahab Lawal
Expectedly, control systems are design to align individual objectives with organization-wide objectives. However, this seems not to be observable in most cases going by the series of organization problems attributed to employee dysfunctional behaviors. This study attempts to investigate the extent to which performance measurement and reward control systems influence employees' dysfunctional behavior in manufacturing companies in Kwara State. To achieve this objective, well-structured questionnaires were sent to randomly selected one hundred and thirty-eight (138) line managers as respondents. Ordinary elast square regression analysis was employed in testing the hypotheses raised. The study found that reward system and performance measurement system have significant negative effect on the employee's dysfunctional behavior practice at 5% significant level(p-value of 0.034 and 0.04 respectively). This implies that reward system and performance measurement has capacity to restrain level of employee dysfunctional behavior. The study therefore recommends that the management of companies should use both intrinsic and extrinsic reward system as well as the use of balance score card for performance measurement in influencing employees to pursue organizations objectives
