The Board of Commissioners Moderates Cash Holding and Profitability on Earnings Management

Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) is used as a technique to test the relationship between variables. The test results show that partially cash holding, profitability and the board of commissioners have a significant effect on earnings management. The test results also show that the independent board of commissioners is able to moderate cash holding and profitability on earnings management

Institutional Corruption and Economic performance Nexus: An Empirical analysis with evidence from Nigeria
Get PDFCorruption has emerged as a multifaceted challenge severely impacting the Nigerian economy in recent times. The impetus behind this study stems from the recognition that no sector, whether private, public, local or traditional institution can claim to be free from corruption. The primary objective is to examine the potential repercussions of institutional corruption on the productive performance of the Nigerian economy. Employing the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) methodology and rooted in the endogenous growth theory, the study underscores that corruption is a hindrance to economic performance in Nigeria, as supported by evidence-based research and documented cases of corrupt practices in the country.
In summary, the comprehensive view reveals that corruption detrimentally affects Nigeria's economic performance in various aspects. The study concludes that the effect of corruption on the productive performance of Nigeria is alarming and has manifested adverse consequences for the economy and if Nigeria fails to combat corruption, the nation risks facing dire consequences due to its pervasive presence.

Crossing Frontiers: A Comparative Exploration of AI Inventorship and Ownership in Patent Law
Get PDFThis article aims at examining inventorship and ownership of Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems in patent law. This is achieved by employing a comprehensive review of relevant patents Acts, policy documents and cases such as Thaler v. Iancu, case no. 1:20-cv-00903 (E.D. Va). The review is coupled with the analysis of AI inventorship and ownership across various jurisdictions such as the United States of America, European Union and South Africa. This is done to understand the criteria for determining inventorship, ownership and the contemporary interpretations of the concept of “intelligence." The article finds that current patent laws encounter difficulties in adequately protecting AI-generated or assisted inventions due to limitations in recognizing AI as inventors. It is therefore argued that if the current patent system cannot accommodate AI related inventions, then there is urgent need to consider a sui generis system tailored to address the unique challenges posed by AI inventions within patent law. Taken together, the article underscores the need for patent legal frameworks to ensure fair treatment and protection of AI-generated or assisted inventions. The article also notes that there is need for further research for an enhanced understanding of the interplay between AI and patent law
