Abstract: The notion that monetary policy is a panacea for economic growth remains empirically subjected to open research. This study tries to close up the knowledge gap by examining the impact of monetary policy on economic growth in Nigeria for the period 2010 to 2019. This study examined the impact of the monetary policy, influence of dynamics in the money market as well as the influence of deposit and lending activities of the money market on the growth of the Nigerian economy. Preliminary analysis shows evidence of long run equilibrium relationship which implies that the variables exhibit a common deterministic trend. By the regression estimates, Monetary Policy (MPR) has a significant and positive impact on Economic Growth (b= 0.021, t= 3.86, p < 0.05), Government Lending Activities has a significant......

Abstract: This paper examines the key roles of audit committees and internal audits in the public universities of Ghana. The public universities of Ghana have a well-organized internal audit structurein order to manage and improve internal control systems. This study involvesfive public universities in the survey with seventy sets of questionnaires administered to four-set respondents.

Abstract: This study proposes to examine the patterns and determinants of crime against women in India. We focus on the demographic, social and economic factors behind the quantum of officially reported crimes across states. Our data relates to crime in 29 states and 7 union territories across India from 1995 to the current available period (2018). We will also compare actual, unreported and reported crime against women. Various relationshiptables, rank-charts, maps, and diagrams are considered together with different regression models to study the interrelationship between those determinants and crime against women. We may find a positive relationship between socio-economic development and crime-reporting which implies an inverse relationship between socioeconomic
development and unreported-crime. As a result, a declining trend in reporting gaps between actual and official reported crimes, i.e., a decrease in unreported-crimes may occur.

Abstract: This study uses time series data from 2000 to 2016 to study the impact of tax reforms on Nigeria's economic growth using the enhanced Dickey-Fuller test to analyze and check the unit root of data collected from secondhand sources. The residuals are found to be stable, while all other variables, such as Stamp Duty (SD), Mineral and Mining Tax (MMT), Capital Gains Tax (CGT), and Value Added Tax (VAT), except for the Real Gross Domestic Product (RGDP) which remains unchanged on the second difference, which indicates a long-term relationship. This study uses an error correction model to evaluate the impact of PIT, CIT, CED, PPT, ET, SD, MMT, CGT, and VAT on RGDP.......

Abstract: The financial management of microfinance banks (MFBs) in Kenya remains one of the critical issues in the sector, thus, making financial management practices essential in shaping the financial23 performance23of the MFBs. In the recent past, the microfinance banks have continued to register an unstable financial23 performance, evidenced in their annual audited reports and other statistics even when they have been practicing several financial management practices. Hence, the study sought to determine the effect of board characteristics, financing mix, credit default management, and assets and liabilities management practices on financial performance of microfinance banks in Kenya. The study tested hypotheses on a 0.05 significance level. The theories and models adopted were: agency theory, pecking order theory, credit default model, shift-ability theory, and financial outcome......
