An Exploration of the Viability of Forensic Accounting Techniques in Combating Financial Statement Fraud in Nigerian Organizations

Purpose: This study explored the viability of forensic accounting techniques in combating financial statement fraud in Nigerian organizations. The study specifically examined the relationship between forensic accounting techniques and fraud deterrence; and, the viability of forensic accounting techniques to enforce corporate policies and procedures.

The study utilized non-probability sampling to mitigate non-response bias and to select knowledgeable respondents. The final retrieved questionnaires were fifty. The primary data were analyzed using Pearson correlation analysis. Results: The Pearson correlation results showed a positive association between forensic accounting techniques (FAT) and fraud deterrence. Secondly, there is a positive association between forensic accounting techniques and the enforcement of corporate policies. Limitations: The main limitation was the small sample size from the retrieved questionnaires future studies can therefore widen the sampling frame and explore other sectors. The study also spanned one of the South-eastern States limiting generalizability.

Going Green: How Consumption Values Lead to Green Consumption Behavior in Z Generation

Purpose: Consumption of plastic, especially single-use ones, is seen today as one of the leading environmental problems since it is used for a very short time and takes hundreds of years to decompose. At the same time, there has been a growing awareness to consume environmentally friendly products and minimize the use of plastic. Similar research has been conducted but in a limited amount in the Z generation context. This study aimed to identify the correlation between green consumption values and green consumption behavior in the Z generation. Research methodology: The variables in this study were measured using the GREEN scale and the ECCB scale. The collected data was analyzed by using correlational methods. The two-stage cluster-random sampling technique was used, and 202 respondents participated in this study. Results: The results showed that there is a significant positive correlation between green consumption value and green consumption behavior at a moderate level. Five indicators of green consumption behavior correlate to green consumption value (recycled products, biodegradability, driving habits/oil dependency, consumer purchase, and reduction in electricity). Limitations: Limitations related to this study were also discussed as its opportunity for further research. Contribution: These findings will empower people to understand how our value will create green consumption behavior, and it will derive following sustainable buying behavior.
