Abstract
This study is aimed at evaluating the impact of human resource accounting for the profitability of
Nigerian listed conglomerate companies. The secondary data used in the study were collected from the
audited annual reports of the six conglomerate companies quoted on the Nigerian Stock Exchange in
the period from the year 2010 to 2019. The panel regression technique was adapted for the purpose of
the analysis of the collected data. The results show that the cost of staff training and staff development,
changes in employees’ salaries and post-employment benefits have a positive significant impact on the
profitability of the Nigerian conglomerate companies. The study then concludes that human resource
accounting positively contributes to the profitability of Nigerian conglomerate companies and provides
the recommendations reading that Nigerian companies should invest more in their employee training and development.
