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.

This study ascertained the extent environmental cost affects financial performance of oil and gas companies in Nigeria. The specific objectives were to determine the effect of: community development cost and environmental remediation cost on Tobin’s on oil and gas companies in Nigeria. Ex post facto research design was employed and data was obtained from annual reports and accounts for the periods 2011 to 2018. The hypotheses were tested using regression analysis with aid of e-view 9.0. The results of the empirical data analysis revealed that community development cost and environmental remediation cost has positive significant effect on Tobin’s. The study therefore recommended among others that government should give tax credit to organizations that participate and contribute towards community development in order to encourage community development and which would go a long way in enhancing firm performance.

Subjective Data

This study aims to investigate both the direct and indirect relationships between Environmental Cost Accounting (ECA), Environmental Performance (EP) and Financial Performance (FP). The samples are companies listed in the industrial sector of Amman Stock Exchange. Subjective data using questionnaire are collected to measure ECA and EP, and objective data are obtained from the companies’ annual reports to measure FP. The author used structural equation modeling to analyze the data. The results showed that ECA positively affected EP and FP, also ECA positively affected EP. Moreover, the results confirmed the mediation role of EP on the direct relationship between ECA and FP. This study contributes to the management accounting literature and contingency theory by using structural equation modeling to examine the above-mentioned relationships, which have been neglected in previous studies, and by analyzing more recent data from a developing country perspective. The results will be useful for practitioners in Jordan, especially for management in the industrial companies and the Ministry of Environment.

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.

The analysis demonstrated that even integrated companies’ upstream segment prevail in the capital expenditures structure. The study also unveiled an increase in dividend payments, which, most of the time, exceeded free cash flows thus increasing the debt burden.

This study assessed the effect of asset mix on financial performance of selected consumer goods firms in Nigeria. The specific objectives of the study were to determine the effects of tangible non-current assets, current and intangible assets structures and returns on asset. Ex post facto research design was adopted and data obtained from the annual reports of the companies for a seven-year period from 2013 to 2019. Multiple regression analytical technique was employed in analyzing the data. The findings of the study revealed that the independent variables employed in the study explained about 13.7% of the variations in returns on asset. Specifically, both current and intangible assets have positive and significant effect with ROA at 5% level of significance. Noncurrent asset has positive but insignificant effect on ROA. Thus, the assets composition of a firm plays a critical role in the financial performance of that firm, although it explains only about 14% of the performance of the firm. It was therefore recommended that firms should increase their current and intangible assets, but should keep it at an optimum level that will ensure that maturing short-term business obligations are met.

The recovery after the unprecedented pandemic crisis that Europe has currently been facing is strengthening the strong dependence between social, economic, and environmental fields, maintaining green investments and innovation at the core of the European strategies. Shifting to clean industries is a challenging mission that a complex network of stakeholders and their different interests must take into account. Within this network, the interplay between environmental and financial performance of a company represents a common point with a growing emphasis on the transparency and the materiality capacity of the disclosed information. This paper uses the Structural Equation Modeling and the Gaussian Graphical Models as graphical analysis approaches and offers a first insight about the interaction between environmental materiality measures and financial performance. A preliminary step of the scientific research consisted of a hand-mapping investigation about materiality conditions. Starting from the Materiality Map developed by the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB), this paper extends the main concept about materiality and investigates it on three different content ranges, which focus on the general environmental policy of the company, the targets set, and its concrete footprint. The methodology approaches were grounded on a newly compiled dataset provided by the Thomson Reuters database for 194 Economic European Area (EEA) oil and gas companies. The results provide significant evidences for the manifestation of materiality and emphasize the informational content of the individual environmental measures as an important condition for its financial impact. Adding to the environmental-financial performance relationship, our findings have both practical and academic relevance for the economic field and sustainable growth goals.
