Title A name given to the resource Management accounting practices and financial performance of manufacturing firms: Moderating role of information technology integration Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource John Kwame Akuma, Anthony Adu-Asare Idun, George Tackie, Emmanuel Addai Kwaning, Kojo Agyekum Asiama Description An account of the resource This study assessed the moderating role of information technology integration (ITI) in the relationship between management accounting practices (MAPs) and financial performance (FP) of manufacturing firms. MAPs comprise five dimensions namely; Costing System (CS), Budgeting System (BS), Decision Support System (DSS), Performance Management System (PMS) and Strategic Management Accounting Practices (SMAP). This research applied the cross-sessional survey design to obtain data from managers of manufacturing companies in Ghana. Data from 266 respondents were processed using Smart PLS (version 4) and analysed using the Structural Equation Modelling. The study found a significant positive moderating role of ITI in the relationship between a dimension of MAPs called performance management systems (PMS) and FP. The research contributes to the literature on MAPs by empirically establishing the role technology plays in the MAPs and FP nexus. These findings extend the literature on the role of ITI by encouraging manufacturing firms in Ghana to implement ITI skills and PMS to enhance their FP. The study recommends that leadership of manufacturing firms in Ghana should blend PMS (like ratio and variance analysis) as well as ITI skills to boost their financial performance.

Title A name given to the resource Management accounting practices and sustainability performance of manufacturing firms in Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource John Kwame Akuma Description An account of the resource This study was designed to assess the relationship between Management Accounting Practices (MAPs) and sustainability performance (SsP) of manufacturing firms in Ghana. The study also investigated the moderating roles of IT adoption, CG and OC in the link between MAPs and SsP. The positivist philosophical paradigm, quantitative research approach, explanatory research design, and cross-sectional study design were employed for the study. Questionnaire was designed to obtain data from managers of 266 manufacturing firms and Smart PLS-SEM was used to analyse the data. The study found significant positive relationships between CS and FP, DSS and EP, DSS and SP, PMS and EP, PMS and SP, as well as SMAP and EP. All other individual first order direct relationships were not significant. Secondly, the study also found a significant positive moderating role of IT adoption in the link between PMS and FP. Thirdly, CG was found to have a positive significant moderating effect in the connection between PMS and EP. Fourthly, CG was found to have a negative significant moderating effect in the link between DSS and EP. However, OC played no moderating role in the MAPs and SsP nexus. The study concludes that, manufacturing firms should implement CS (like variable costing), DSS (like customer profitability analysis), PMS (like variance analysis, and ratio analyses) and SMAP to boost their SsP. They must also implement IT adoption skills and PMS to enhance their FP. Last but not least, they should resource their audit committees as well as implement PMS to boost EP.

Title A name given to the resource Credit risk, deposit mobilization and profitability of Ghanaian banks Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource John Akuma, Isaac Doku, Nathaniel Awer Description An account of the resource This paper seeks to investigate the relationship between deposit mobilization, credit risk and profitability of Ghanaian banks from 2002 to 2011. Secondary data were obtained from financial statements of 17 Ghanaian banks who have operated consistently within the study period. Panel regression analysis is used in the estimation of a function relating to the return on assets (ROA) to measures of credit risk and deposit mobilization as well a few control variables. The results reveal a significantly positive relationship between credit risk, deposit mobilization, growth in interest income, capital adequacy ratio and profitability of Ghanaian banks. However, a significantly negative relationship between year-on-year inflation and ROA was found. With regard to the relationship between bank size and profitability, the results found no significant association between the two. The research suggests that profitable banks in Ghana depend more on bank deposits as one of their main financing options. In the Ghanaian case, a high proportion (64.33%) of total liabilities is represented by bank deposits; attesting to the fact that Ghanaian banks largely depend on deposits for financing their operations. The study recommends that banks should implement effective strategies to mobilize more deposits from both the formal an informal sectors of the economy. They should also invest heavily in credit risk management. Both strategies will enhance their profitability.

Title A name given to the resource Determinants of capital structure of listed oil marketing companies in Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Isaac Doku, Elvis Adjei, Harrison Adjimah, John Akuma Description An account of the resource Capital structure decisions are the most crucial decisions taken by corporate organizations, as these decisions have massive impact on the overall cost of capital weighted average and the resultant profitability and market value of shares. Most of the researches conducted on capital structure concluded that there is an optimal capital structure that is affected by a variety of internal and external factors. These factors usually differ from country to country and industry to industry. This paper using a case study methodology, investigated the determinant of capital structure of oil companies in Ghana. The study examined how internal factors such as profitability, asset tangibility, growth, size and riskiness of a firm impacts on the capital structure of the two listed oil marketing companies in Ghana (GOIL and TOTAL) for the period between 2005 and 2014 using ordinary least square regression. The findings indicated that all the factors have significant impact on financial leverage.

Title A name given to the resource Banking efficiency in emerging economies: Does foreign banks entry matter in the Ghanaian context? Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Daniel Ofori‐Sasu, Lord Mensah, John Kwame Akuma, Isaac Doku Description An account of the resource This study empirically examines the effect of foreign banks entry on banking efficiency scores, using the truncated regression data envelopment analysis model for 25s banks in Ghana, over a 6‐year period (2010–2015). We decompose the efficiency scores into three (technical, cost, and allocative efficiency), and the results indicate that banks in Ghana are marginally inefficient in operating closer to their optimal capacity. The findings show that the input‐oriented model slacks are needed to push an inefficient bank closer to where an efficient bank is positioned. From the results, an immediate and a short‐term entry of foreign banks have a consistent negative relationship with both technical‐ and cost‐efficiency scores whereas long‐term entry of foreign banks shows an inconsistent relationship with the three banking efficiency scores. Thus, the drive towards a positive impact of foreign banks entry on the three … Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2019 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=qGn6xmQAAAAJ&citation_for_view=qGn6xmQAAAAJ:u-x6o8ySG0sC Language A language of the resource English https://www.repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/d26ec9c84c849e547f531114ea817e81.pdf aa31da4abaa93d973984506ac2b2b536 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource The Role of Microfinance in Promoting Women's Empowerment: A Socioeconomic Approach Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Gertrude Amoakohene, Stephen Owusu Afriyie, Joseph Nkyi, Mohammed Musah, Peter Yao Lartey Description An account of the resource Women's economic empowerment is a technique meant to give them more authority over decisions, increase their income, and own assets. Since empowering women is essential to achieving the goals of development and reducing poverty, numerous attempts have been made to address this issue. Microfinance institutions (MFIs) have emerged as key tools over the past few decades to not only address poverty, but also to empower women in particular. It is believed that by employing microfinance, which has been shown to be one of the most effective approaches, women may gain some kind of personal empowerment. The primary objective of this research is to analyse how microfinance affects women's economic empowerment. Microfinance significantly boosts women's independent revenues, their levels of asset ownership, and their savings, which all contribute to their economic empowerment.
