Effect of Cyber Security on Business Sustainability of Listed Microfinance Banks in Nigeria
Get PDFPurpose: In Nigeria, microfinance banks (MFB) face the burden of investing in cyber security to protect their databases, prevent monetary losses, maintain customer trust, and remain afloat in a competitive business environment. However, there are incessant cyber risks and attacks by criminals who gain undue access to the cyber-space of MFB and cause financial and non-financial loss.
Design/methodology/approach: The objective of this quantitative study was to examine the effect of cyber security on the business sustainability of three listed, and most valued MFBs in Nigeria. The population of the study was 315 senior, medium and junior employees of three MFBs in Nigeria. As the target population was manageable, the research adopted a census. Data were collected using a semi-structured questionnaire, and the formulated hypothesis was analysed using multiple regression.
Findings: The study found that cyber security has a significant and positive impact on the sustainability of MFB in Nigeria. Data availability account for the largest contribution to the sustainability of MFBs, followed by data confidentiality and data integrity. Employees in a MFB uphold that data availability, confidentiality, and integrity are pivotal elements of cyber security that influence the sustainability of their organisations in Nigeria. Given these results from the viewpoint of employees, MFBs are implored to regularly review and strengthen their risk management strategy and adopt a more integrative approach of human-centric cybersecurity, which brings technology and human elements together to address current and future cyber risks and build and sustain consumer trust in digital financial transactions. The implication of the study and areas for future research are highlighted.

The Influence of Microfinance Institutions on Nigerian Small, Micro, And Medium Enterprises
Get PDFPurpose: Poverty is a significant concern in most countries, including Nigeria, which has been dubbed the world's poverty capital. Most developing countries regard small, micro, and medium-sized companies (SMMEs) as a sure strategy to reduce poverty by lowering a country's unemployment rate. Microfinance institutions (MFIs), especially banks, were commissioned by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to cater to self-employed people and businesses. There is compelling evidence that MFIs are not doing enough and are failing to fulfill their mandate. As a result, this paper sought to investigate the impact MFIs have on SMMEs in Nigeria.
Design/methodology/approach: This descriptive study, made use of a convenience sample strategy to collect survey data from 384 SMMEs in two Nigerian states: Abuja and Nasarawa. Data was collected from 350 respondents.
Findings: The findings showed that MFIs significantly influenced SMMEs regarding technology transfer and financial services and aided SMME (small, medium, and micro enterprises) growth. MFIs in Nigeria are ineffective in offering the services of aspects of facilitator of SMEs growth, tool for social change, provider of banking services to the people and transferor of technology.
Practical implications: The CBN should make sure that MFIs, especially the banks focus more on servicing SMMEs. MFIs should do more in the areas of sensitiation and tailor their products to suit their customer base.
Originality/value: There are limited studies on the Nigerian context for SMMEs and MFIs

The Role of Good Corporate Governance in Influenced Accounting Conservatism of Manufacturing Companies in Indonesia
Get PDFPurpose: This study aims to examine the role of good corporate governance in accounting conservatism.
Methodology: This study uses a sample of manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the 2020-2021 period, with a total sample of 72 company-years. The test uses SPSS 25.
Findings: The study found that independent commissioners and profitability have a significant positive effect on accounting conservatism, while managerial ownership and company size do not affect accounting conservatism.
Implications: This study provides implications for the theory of accounting conservatism, where the factors of independent commissioners and profitability have a significant effect on accounting conservatism. The presence of independent commissioners in the company will ensure that the company's financial reporting process is well-monitored so that the company is more careful in carrying out its financial reporting. Similarly, with profitability, the presence of high profitability will increase the amount of retained earnings, and the company tends to use more conservative accounting principles to regulate earnings to appear more flat and less volatile

A Soft Systems Methodology Application to Promote the Multidimensional Model of e-Government Project Management in Indonesia’s Construction Services
Get PDFThe Integrated Construction Services Information System (ICSIS) project is one of the Indonesian government's initiatives to meet public demand for better construction business services. Despite being in operation for approximately 6 (six) years, ICSIS performs poorly. Fragmented business processes, noninteroperable systems, and unaccountable data all demonstrate poor performance in this regard. With all the best efforts, ICSIS only reaches 12% of the total target users. This paper discusses a problem-structuring approach to problem analysis and comprehension, as well as the critical factors to consider through stakeholder interaction. From various perspectives, the results of this structuring phase using literature study, comparative analysis and soft systems methodology indicate that multidimensional factors must be considered in order to achieve the expected ICSIS values. This technique assists decision makers in developing a multidimensional model in ICSIS project management with the goal of fostering more dependable and long-term e-government in the construction services
