This study assessed the effect of financial leverage on the financial performance, using data from the annual reports of 7 quoted oil and gas firms in Nigeria, as well as from the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) daily official lists over the period 2005- 2018. Descriptive statistics were used in data presentation, while random effects panel estimator was applied in determining the effect of financial leverage variables as short-term debt ratio (STDR), long-term debt ratio (LTDR) and total-debt equity ratio (TDER) on the financial performance, measured by the return on equity (ROE). The regression results from the random effects model (REM) indicate that STDR and LTDR have no significant effect on the financial performance, and TDER has a negative but significant effect on the financial performance denoted by ROE. The study concludes that higher financial leverage of quoted oil and gas companies in Nigeria attenuates shareholders’ wealth. The investment implication of this conclusion is that oil and gas companies should look more carefully at the utility maximization value of debt vis-à-vis equity in their capital structure.

This study was carried out to determine the effect of financial leverage on the financial performance, using secondary data obtained from the annual reports of 7 quoted Oil and Gas firms in Nigeria, and the Nigerian stock exchange (NSE) daily official lists over the period 2005- 2016. Descriptive statistics such as mean, median, minimum, maximum, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, skewness and kurtosis were used in data presentation, while random effects panel estimator is applied in determining the effect of financial leverage variables as short-term debt ratio (STDR), long-term debt ratio (LTDR) and total-debt equity ratio (TDER) on the financial performance measured by the return on equity (ROE). The regression results from the random effects model (REM), the best panel estimator in this study as revealed by the F-test and the Hausman test for best model selection, indicate that STDR and LTDR have no significant effect on the financial performance, and TDER has a negative significant effect on the financial performance denoted by ROE. The study concludes that higher financial leverage in the capital structure of quoted Oil & Gas firms in Nigeria deteriorates shareholders wealth measured by ROE. The study recommends that firms in the Oil & Gas sector should substitute at least 90 per cent of debt in the capital structure with equity, through bonus issue, right issue and higher proportion of retained earnings in the capital structure.

Firm size and age influence firm-level leverage. The extent of such influence on the oil and gas industry is not known in Nigeria. There are very few empirical studies that interrogate the effects of firm size and listing age on leverage in Nigeria. This study examines the impacts of firm size and listing age on firm-level financial leverage of listed oil and gas companies in Nigeria. It was non-experimental research and correlational in nature. Data were extracted from annuals and accounts of 8 firms over a period of 13 years (2007-2019) and subjected to descriptive statistics (number of observations, mean, standard deviations, mean, minimum and maximum means) and inferential statistics (multiple regression analysis). The findings show that firm size has a negative and significant impact on firm-level financial leverage. Firm age has a positive and significant effect on firm-level leverage. In this paper, we contribute to the literature by examining the presence and direction of firm size and listing age to financial leverage user data from listed oil and gas firms in Nigeria. Our study is the first to address the adverse implications of Modeling with firm size and listing age on firm-level financial leverage.

The Impact

The study specifically examines the impact of audit firm types on sustainability performance effort (health care, employment and education) of quoted oil and gas marketing company in Nigeria. The population of the study consists of all the 13 oil and gas marketing companies quoted on the Nigeria Stock Exchange as at end of the year 2020. Secondary data was sourced from the annual reports and accounts of the sampled companies for the period of  5 years (2016-2020). The dependent variables for the study were Sustainability Performance effort proxied by expenditure on education, employment and health care by the oil and gas companies, while the independent variable was audit firm type. A panel regression model was employed for the analysis as the data cuts across different firms over periods. The results revealed that there is no significant relationship between audit firm type and sustainability performance. This is evident from the p-value of 0.554 which is related to audit firm type and health care. Also, the result of the audit firm and education revealed a p-value of 0.422 and that of audit firm type and employment 0.364. This result provided a basis for rejecting all the hypotheses. The study therefore, recommends that the oil and gas companies should continue to undertake their responsibility in the sustainability performance without any reference to whether they are being audited by any type of audit firm

The study examined the effect of green accounting on the financial performance of oil and gas companies 2010-2020. The specific objectives were to determine the effect of: environmental cost accounting and green management accounting on the financial performance of oil and gas companies in Nigeria. A quantitative technique was adopted and Ex post facto research design was employed for the study. Data were obtained from annual reports and accounts of the companies for the periods 2010 to 2020. The hypotheses were tested using regression analysis with aid of e-view 9.0. The results showed that environmental cost accounting has a significant effect on the financial performance of oil and gas companies. Also, the study found that green management accounting has significant effect on the financial performance of oil and gas firms. Therefore, the paper recommended that management of oil and gas companies in Nigeria should pay particular attention to environmental cost accounting to enhance the firm’s operating environment and the financial performance of the companies. Also, since most oil and gas companies hardly report their environmental activities, the government should make environmental reporting in annual reports compulsory thereby passing legislation which will compel companies to integrate environmental issues into their strategic planning process; and the publication of environmental accounting standards both locally and internationally which can be reviewed continually to ensure dynamism in compliance.
