The effect of systematic and unsystematic determinants on loan (financing) to deposit ratio in Indonesian banking
No full textPurpose: This study compares the determinants of liquidity of Islamic Banks (IBs) and Conventional Banks (CBs) based on the loan-to-deposit ratio (LDR) and financing-to-deposit ratio (FDR) between 2016 and 2020.
Research Methodology: The data analysis technique used was panel data regression.
Results: The results show Economic growth has a positive effect on banking liquidity risk, while non-performing loans (financing) have a negative effect on banking liquidity risk.
Limitations: The frame time in this research was 2016-2020 which, before Bank Syariah Mandiri, Bank Rakyat Indonesia (BRI) Syariah, and Bank Negara Indonesia (BNI) Syariah merged into Bank Syariah Indonesia.
Contribution: This study can be used as a reference for preparing or perfecting regulations that can be bolder in expanding credit (financing). Commercial banks are expected to be able to manage liquidity so that the liquidity ratio is not less than or exceeds the tolerance limit, especially for CBs, and are used as evaluation material for the performance of IBs, especially CBs.
Novelty: Several previous studies conducted separate analyses of the determinants of LDR and FDR in one type of commercial bank and showed contradictory results. This research did not conduct separate analyses in one type of bank but combined the determinants so that they could cause liquidity risk by measuring LDR on BUK and FDR on BUS to discuss these conflicting findings

Accounts Payable Turnover and Firm Performance of Quoted Manufacturing Firms in Nigeria
No full textPurpose: The objective of this study is to ascertain the nexus of accounts payable turnover and firm performance of quoted manufacturing firms in Nigeria.
Research methodology: This study adopted an ex-post facto research design. The sample comprised seventy-five non-financial firms quoted on the Nigerian Exchange Group (NGX). The study purposively selected all available non-financial firms during the study period: 2010-2019. This study utilized secondary sources of data, i.e., computed financial ratios from annual financial statements downloaded from the MachameRatios® database. The data were analyzed using multiple regression techniques.
Results: There is a non-significant positive effect of the accounts payable turnover ratio on ROA (p=0.9729) and ROE (p=0.2669); and; a significant negative effect of the accounts payable turnover ratio on Tobin’s Q (p=0.0140).
Limitations: The limitation of the study is the failure to account for endogeneity concerns in firm performance studies.
Contribution: The study contributes to the working capital management literature and specifically to the credit management axiom. It also showed a differential effect of APT on various firm performance proxies which have significant implications for managers, e.g., finance officers in corporations that intend to utilize the accounts payable turnover as a strategy to grow the performance of the firm in the short and long term.
Practical implication: The practical implication of this research is that managers can alter their firm performance from responsible accounts payable turnover management.
Novelty: The study uses a unique dataset of non-financial firms within a framework of robust control variables to examine the relationship between APT and firm performance proxies
