RE-THINKING THE ROLE OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP EDUCATION IN SOUTH AFRICAN HIGHER EDUCATION FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
No full textPurpose: The paper examined the role of entrepreneurship Education in South African higher education for sustainable development. The economy of South Africa and many other developing countries continue to rely heavily on entrepreneurship.
Theoretical reference: Developing new company ventures has emerged as a critical economic engine that significantly impacts job creation, economic growth, and overall wealth. It also somewhat raises the country's level of competitiveness in the international business sector. Despite efforts to increase the number of entrepreneurial activities, South Africa continues to face a wide range of obstacles. According to research from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM), the most significant issue still confronting the country is a general lack of education and skills.

THE MODERATING ROLE OF IFRS ADOPTION SPEED IN THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CAPITAL INFLOWS AND INCLUSIVE GROWTH IN SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA
No full textPurpose: This study investigates how the speed of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) adoption condition the capital inflows and inclusive growth nexus in Sub-Saharan Africa. While existing literature primarily examined IFRS impacts at the firm level, this study filles a significant gap by focusing on the macroeconomic effects of IFRS adoption speed, particularly its role in enhancing the benefits of capital inflows such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), Foreign Portfolio Investment (FPI), and Foreign Aid.
Methods: This study employs a dynamic panel data analysis using the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) to examine how the speed of IFRS adoption impacts capital inflows and fosters inclusive growth across Sub-Saharan African countries. The study leveraged a dataset spanning from 2005 to 2019, covering 48 countries in the region. By analysing the relationship between IFRS adoption speed, capital inflows, and inclusive growth, the study offers new insights into the macroeconomic benefits of adopting IFRS.
Findings: Findings suggest that speedy IFRS adoption significantly enhances the positive impact of capital inflows on inclusive growth, underlining the importance of swift and effective implementation of IFRS for equitable economic development.
Implications: This study contributes to the existing literature by providing a macroeconomic perspective on IFRS adoption and highlighting the importance of financial reporting standards in achieving inclusive growth in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Originality: This study introduces a novel approach by examining how the speed of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) adoption moderates the impact of capital inflows on inclusive growth in Sub-Saharan Africa. Bridging the gap in existing literature, it shifts the focus from firm-level effects of IFRS and direct impacts of capital inflows on economic growth to a nuanced exploration of how financial reporting standards' adoption speed can enhance a country's ability to utilize foreign investments for inclusive economic development. Unique in its regional focus, this research provides critical insights into the macroeconomic benefits of IFRS in Sub-Saharan Africa, offering valuable implications for policymakers and contributing significantly to the discourse on financial innovation, regulatory frameworks, and sustainable economic growth in emerging markets
EFFECT OF BOARD RISK COMMITTEE ATTRIBUTES ON THE FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE OF NIGERIAN INSURANCE COMPANIES
No full textPurpose: Given the importance of insurance companies to the national economy and the fact that sound financial performance is essential for them to play their stated roles, it is therefore useful to examine the effect of risk committee attributes on the financial performance of insurance companies in Nigeria from 2016 to 2022.
Theoretical reference: Agency theory is incorporated in this study because ERM places significant responsibility on the board of directors and its delegates such as risk committees, thereby reducing agency costs. The theory underscores the need to promote sustainable growth and corporate governance.
Method: The sample was however limited to the 20 companies that consistently published annual reports for the 7-year study period spanning 2016 to 2022. Using the expo facto research design and the census sampling technique, the study made use of descriptive and inferential statistical techniques, while multiple regression (pooled, fixed effects and random effects models) was used to determine the significance of the effect of risk committee size, independence, and diligence (which are the independent variables), and firm size (the control variable) on loss ratio, (the dependent variable)
Results and Conclusion: The multiple regression analysis showed a negative but statistically insignificant relationship between risk committee size and financial performance measured as loss ratio. Risk committee independence and risk committee diligence on the other hand were positively related to loss ratio although the results were also statistically insignificant. However, the results showed a positive and statistically significant relationship between firm size and loss ratio. Thus, the study concludes that the risk committee attributes, size, independence and diligence do not have a significant effect on loss ratio.
Implications of research: The practical implication of these findings is that insurance companies need to critically evaluate the structure and workings of their board risk committees to determine which attributes best contribute to their risk management and financial goals. However, given that none of the risk committee predictor variables showed a significant effect on loss ratio, there is a need to recommend a minimum committee size of five and initiatives to improve deliberations at meetings.
Originality/Value: While a plethora of studies have been carried out to examine the effect of the characteristics, structure, or attributes of a risk committee on a company’s financial performance, the vast majority of them have been done on either banks specifically, or financial institutions in general. Only a few of the studies have specifically considered insurance companies. Fewer yet have studied the entire population of insurance companies with most preferring to limit their studies to listed insurance companies. Moreover, none of these studies has measured financial performance from the standpoint of loss ratio which is a measure of the insurance company’s capacity to pay claims. This study thus fills a gap in the literature by not only addressing this all-important function of insurance but also contributing to the relative dearth of studies that use the insurance industry as a domain
