Abstract: E-commerce is one of the fastest growing segments in the Indian Economy. Though marked by high growth rate, the Indian e-commerce industry has been behind its counterparts in many developed and emerging economies, primarily due to a relatively low internet user base. In a study conducted by global management consultancy firm AT Kearney in 2015, there were only 39 million online buyers in India; a tiny fraction of the 1.2 billion who live in the country. However, increased technological proliferation combined with internet and mobile penetration, presents a favorable eco-system for the development of e-commerce in India. The country is currently at the cusp of a digital revolution...............

Abstract: In this study, an attempt was made to reflect into the historical development of Accounting and Finance education in Nigeria. It examined the various challenges bedeviling the system and the need to refocus because it provides an opportunity to appraise existing conditions with a view to correcting the ills and improving the current situation. The study revealed that development of accounting education in Nigeria has been affected by lack of teachers and research facilities and funding among others. The study recommended among others that government should stop paying lip service to education and the system should be redesigned to make it more responsive to the needs of the Nigerian society.
