This study examined the imperative of accounting ethics in adopting fraud preventive measures in Nigeria. To achieve this objective, the survey research design was adopted while primary data was sourced through structured questionnaire. Data collected were analyzed using Descriptive statistical tools (tables, frequency distribution and percentages) and Spearman’s Nonparametric Correlation. It was discovered that the effectiveness of other fraud preventive measures depends to a large extent on the level of ethical compliance by accountants. Findings also revealed that compliance with ethical codes is an effective way to prevent fraud. Hence, strict enforcement by relevant professional bodies will increase the compliance level, thereby reducing the incidences of fraud in Nigeria. It was concluded that accounting ethics plays significant role in the adoption of fraud preventive measures in Nigeria. Therefore, it is recommended that organizations should adopt measures that will encourage accountants to discharge their responsibilities in accordance with the requirements of the ethical code without undue influence or pressure from management. Furthermore, accounting bodies should put in place strict monitoring and disciplinary measures that will ensure compliance with ethical principles. This will restore the confidence and reputation of the accounting profession as trustees and watchdogs of the society.

This paper attempts to empirically assess the possibility of applying Sharia screening criteria in the Sudanese corporate sector and investigate the possibility of extending the external Auditors’ role to include reporting on Sharia compliance of corporate activities. The hypotheses of the study revolved around identifying whether the Sudanese stakeholders accept the application of the Screening Criteria as part of the compliance methodologies to cater for companies with mixed activities, whether the Sudanese stakeholders consider available Screening Criteria as effective and robust in the control of Sharia impermissible economic activities, and whether expanding the responsibilities of external auditors to include Sharia screening compliance will increase the creditability of financial information and hence attracting more investors. The paper employs a cross-sectional survey research design and depends mainly on primary data, which is collected through a structured questionnaire. To examine the accuracy of the data and conduct the analysis a number of statistical methods including the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO), Bartlett’s Test of Sphericity, Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), and Structural Estimation Modeling (SEM) are employed. The analysis supports the hypotheses set by the study and reveals the readiness of Sudanese stakeholders to accept applying the Sharia screening Criteria and their belief in the notion that the present screening criteria are effective in controlling Sharia impermissible economic activities and the ability of external auditors to identify and report on their customers’ compliance with screening criteria.

The study examined the costs and returns to bio-fortified cassava production and forecast the future farm size of bio-fortified cassava production in Oyo State, Nigeria. A multistage sampling technique was used to select our respondents. Primary data were used for the study which were collected through a well-structured questionnaire. Data collected were analyzed using descriptive, Markov chain, and budgetary analysis. The result of the study showed that TMS 01/0593, TMS 01/0539 and TMS 01/0220 were the mostly grown varies of bio-fortified cassava varieties in Oyo State, Nigeria. The result of the budgetary analysis showed that the average net return (net farm income) from the production of bio-fortified cassava was ₦196710.95 with RORI of 224.95%. The result revealed that at 35% increase in cost of production, the rate of return on investment dropped to 140.70% in which the investment will not be viable. The bio-fortified cassava farmers have a great potential to boost production through increases in farm sizes of the bio-fortified cassava famers until the year 2026 when equilibrium would be attained at about 2.85ha. In order to adequately achieve these goals, more improved varieties of bio-fortified cassava should be provided. Consequently, infrastructures should be put in place to help boost farmers moral in their cause of production.

Abstract Background: The Modified Fresno Test is an adapted version for physiotherapists. So far, none of the versions of the Fresno Test were subjected to analysis of the factorial structure. Objective of the study was describe the exploratory and confirmatory factorial structure of the Modified Fresno Test adapted to the Portuguese-Brazilian and analyze the statistic feasibility for the elaboration of a short version. Methods: The questionnaire was applied in 57 physiotherapists, being 36 professionals (13 of these also professors) and 21 students of the last semester of the physiotherapy course. Exploratory Factor Analysis was performed by the method of principal components. The confirmatory factor analysis was performed by the method of maximum likelihood. The score of the answers in the test and retest was evaluated, totaling 228 observations. Reliability was assessed by means of internal consistency, using Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Results: The internal consistency indicated value of 0.81 for the questions of the instrument. The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin test presented acceptable values (KMO=0.80). The Bartlett’s sphericity test indicated that the correlations were sufficient for the analysis. The analysis revealed the presence of 3 factors (eigenvalues > 1), which explains 60.9% of total variance of the instrument. In the confirmatory factor analysis, the second model which tested a three-factor structure provided a better fit to the data. Conclusion: The analysis showed good factorial validity and adequate internal consistency for the use of the instrument consisting of 13 questions and 3 factors. This model proved to be better than the original model. The short version consisting of 9 questions may be an appropriate alternative for use in the population of interest.
