Title A name given to the resource Relationship between Board Structure Characteristics and Financial Performance of Listed Food and Beverage Firms in Ghana. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Angmor Peter Lawer Description An account of the resource This paper investigates the relationship between board structure characteristics and financial performance of Listed Food and Beverage Firms (LFBFs) in Ghana. The study relied on published financial reports of LFBFs for the period of 2001 to 2013. To achieve the objective of the study, we estimated a linear regression model based on panel data which was performed on the dependent variable, return on assets (ROA). Through statistical calculations, we found evidence that board size and Chief Executive Officer duality have significant negative relationships with return on assets, with board composition having insignificant negative relationship with return on assets. However, a significant positive relationship was established between board ownership and return on assets. The study recommends that LFBFs in Ghana should consider having the right mix of experience and skills on the board, but not necessarily considering only a small or large board size. Also, shareholders should encourage board members to own shares in their firms and the few firms practicing CEO duality should work hard to reverse the practice completely.

Title A name given to the resource Determinants of Leverage in Ghana: Evidence from listed Manufacturing and Trading Sector Companies Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Peter Lawer Angmor Description An account of the resource The paper examines the effect net profit, firm size, tangibility, firm growth and risk have on leverage of manufacturing and trading sector companies listed on the Ghana Stock Exchange during the period 2005 to 2014. The paper relied on published financial statements of the listed manufacturing and trading companies for the period. Using a panel regression model, the study found a significant negative relationship between firm size and leverage as well as growth and leverage. Profitability established a negative and insignificant relationship with leverage. An insignificant positive relationship was found between tangibility and leverage and an insignificant positive relationship was also found between risk and leverage. The study suggests listed manufacturing and trading companies should apply the pecking order theory in their capital structure decisions and favor internal source of funds for their financing needs.

Title A name given to the resource Experiencing Change through Continuous Professional Development: The Case of Ghana Technology University College Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource and Peter Lawer Angmor Esi Akyere Mensah, Derrick Ofori Donkor, Michael Owusu–Akomeah Description An account of the resource This paper presents preliminary findings from an ongoing investigation into the effect of continuous professional development (CPD) on the teaching of university lecturers. We sought to explore the experiences of lecturers who have taken part in CPD and how these experiences had changed their teaching styles. Specifically, the objectives were to inquire into their reason (s) for embarking on CPD, the types of CPD undertaken as well as the changes that had been made in their teaching, learning and assessment practice as a result of their CPD. The study used interviews as well as self-reflective reports to ascertain answers to these objectives from participants‟ perspectives. This paper compares and determines the most important changes that have occurred in the teaching/learning at the Ghana Technology University College and possible future impact that the changes may have on lecturers.

Title A name given to the resource Exploring the Effect of Internal Auditors’ Function on Financial Performance of Universal Banks in Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Peter Lawer Angmor, Musah Basig Diaboh Description An account of the resource The function of internal auditing cannot simply be overemphasised; hence the need to explore the effect of internal auditors’ functions on the financial performance of Ghanaian universal banks. A quantitative approach design was used. SPSS and Amos software were used to analyse the data. With 200 respondents, factor loadings, reliability, and validity (CR, AVE, and alpha) tests were conducted. Discriminant validity and square root of Average Variance Extracted in the diagonal was also conducted. Finally, via structural equation modelling (SEM), three hypotheses were tested using indicators of t-test, probability values, and beta values to accept or fail to accept the relationships. Preliminary data was gathered by surveying ten Ghanaian universal banks regulated by the Bank of Ghana via survey questionnaires. Overall, there was a favorable and significant correlation between management support and the auditors' competence and independence. It was concluded that the study met the required goal by shedding light on the role of (IA) functions in the financial performance of the Ghanaian banking industry. Hence, auditors' independence, competence, and management support are critical functions of internal auditing for banks to improve their financial gains.

Title A name given to the resource Credit risk and bank profitability: Evidence from Ghana stock exchange Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Richard Takyi Opoku, Peter Lawer Angmor, Lawrence Asare Boadi Description An account of the resource This study analyzed the relationship between credit risk and profitability of banks on the Ghana Stock Exchange. A secondary data in a panel form of seven banks listed on the Ghana Stock Exchange was examined over a period of nine years, using a linear multiple regression model. One key measure of profitability was analyzed in this study that is return on equity. The independent variables included in the regression model were nonperforming loan to total loans and advances, and loans and advances to total deposits, bank size, leverage and growth. The results for the study indicate that non-performing loan to total loans and advances and loans and advances to total deposits have significant negative relationship with return on equity. Furthermore, a negative insignificant relationship was established between size and return on equity but significant positive relationships were found between growth and leverage and profitability.

Title A name given to the resource Determinants of bank deposits in Ghana: A cointegration approach Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Otu Larbi-Siaw, Peter Angmor Lawer Description An account of the resource The study investigates the influence of selected macroeconomic and financial level variables on bank deposits in Ghana. It specifically examines the dynamic effect of deposit interest rate, inflation, monetary policy rate, growth of money supply and stock prices (All Share Index) on the level of bank deposits. The dataset for the study consisted of quarterly data spanning the years of 2000 to 2013 gathered from the Bank of Ghana (BoG) monetary time series database and the World development Indicator (WDI) database. Employing a Co-integration analysis and Fully Modified Ordinary Least Square (FMOLS), both short and long run elasticity’s of the model are estimated. The preliminary test for unit root indicated that all the variables are integrated of order one (an I (1) process) and the cointegration revealed the presence of one co-integrating equation. Empirical findings form the study indicates a significantly negative short-term impact of both inflation and growth of money supply of bank deposits in Ghana. The long-run effects of the various independent variables on bank deposit are also discussed. Some of the variables conformed to priori expectations, albeit insignificant. Appropriate measures are also recommended based on the findings thereof.

Title A name given to the resource Working capital management and profitability: Evidence from Ghanaian listed manufacturing firms Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Richard Kofi Akoto, Dadson Awunyo-Vitor, Peter Lawer Angmor Description An account of the resource Working capital management plays a vital role in the success of businesses because of its effect on profitability and liquidity. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between working capital management practices and profitability of listed manufacturing firms in Ghana. The study used secondary data collected from all the 13 listed manufacturing firms in Ghana covering the period from 2005-2009. Using panel data methodology, the study finds a significantly negative relationship between profitability and accounts receivable days. However, the firms’ cash conversion cycle, current asset ratio, size, and current asset turnover significantly positively influence profitability. The study suggests that managers can create value for their shareholders by creating incentives to reduce their accounts receivable to 30 days. It is further recommended that, enactments of local laws that protect indigenous firms and restrict the activities of importers are eminent to promote increase demand for locally manufactured goods both in the short and long runs in Ghana.
