    Executive Compensation, Corporate Governance, and Financial Reporting Quality: Evidence from Listed Firms in Nigeria.
    (Istanbul Universitesi Yayinevi, 2022) Olorede, T. E.; Abogun, Segun; Olowookere, J. K.
    In many emerging economies with less efficient market systems like Nigeria, investors tend to rely on financial reports for decision-making. Managerial opportunistic behavior is associated with the need to achieve performance-based remuneration targets. However, corporate governance mechanisms are established to monitor managerial affairs which are believed to curb such behaviors. Hence, this study assesses the influence of executive compensation on the quality of financial reports with an interactive effect of corporate governance in Nigerian listed firms. The population of the study comprised all listed companies on the Nigerian Exchange Group (NGX) from which 74 firms were selected. Executive compensation was proxied with the chief executive officer’s total remuneration, and the corporate governance index was adopted as a measure of corporate governance. The discretionary accruals from the modified Jones model by Kothari, Leone, and Wasley (2005), and the accruals of Dechow and Dichev (2002) proxied for financial reporting quality. The estimation results showed that the interactive effect of executive compensation and corporate governance has a significant and negative influence on discretionary accruals, which indicates a positive relationship with reporting quality.

    (Emerald Publishing Limited on behalf of the Department of Accountancy, Faculty of Economics and Business, Universitas Airlangga, Indonesia., 2021) Abogun, Segun; Adigbole, E. A.; Olorede, T. E.
    Purpose – This study aims to examine the impact of income smoothing on the value of firms in a regulated security market, moderated by market risk. This is based on the prevalence of accounting scandals resulting in the collapse of firms which has been attributed to the opportunistic behaviors of managers. Design/methodology/approach – The ex post facto research design was employed, and as such, data were gathered from secondary sources. The quantitative approach was also used in the study. Furthermore, the system generalized method of moments (Blundell–Bond) panel estimation technique was used for analyzing the data. Income smoothing was measured using the accrual based methods, while firm value was measured using share price. Findings – The study found that income smoothing has a negative significant impact on firm value. The study also revealed that market risk is a significant variable that defines the relationship between income smoothing and firm value. Originality/value – Testing the moderating effect of market risk on the relationship between income smoothing and firm value is unique to this study, particularly from a regulated security market and emerging economy.
