Abstract: The study ascertained the effect of Financial Factors on Shareholders’ Value of listed ePharmaceutical Firms on Nigeria Stock Exchange. The study ascertained the effect of Sales Revenue (SR), Investment in Working Capital (IWC) and Operating Profit Margin (OPM) on Earnings Per Share (EPS) in the pharmaceutical firms in Nigeria. Data for the study were sourced from Annual report of the sampled pharmaceutical firms. The data collected were analyzed using Eview. The results of the study show that Sales Revenue (SR) has a positive and significant effect on Earnings Per Share (EPS) of Nigeria pharmaceutical firms; investment in working capital (IWC) has a negative and insignificant effect on Earnings Per Share (EPS) of Nigeria pharmaceutical firms and Operating Profit Margin (OPM) has a positive and significant effect on Earnings Per Share (EPS) of Nigeria pharmaceutical firms. Based on the findings, the study recommends among others that Pharmaceutical firms in Nigeria should employ more of sales strategies in other to generate more sales for the firms to enhance returns to the owners of the business, the shareholders.

Abstract: Non-performing Loans (NPLs) are those loans of the banks’ from which they are no longer able to receive interest or overdue principal payments. NPL can affect the balance sheet of banks by decreasing banks’ profitability as bank cannot generate interest income from their NPLs. Banks’ may have to face capital erosion due to higher level of NPL. Due to interconnectedness of banking sector with the overall financial system and the economy, there may have ripple effects throughout the financial system thereby adding to financial instability. The percentage of NPLs to total outstanding loans in Bangladesh was 9.3% in 2017. The aim of this paper is to investigate the causal relationship and the direction of causality between economic growth Gross Domestic Product Growth Rate (GDPGR) and the level of NPLs (NPLR) in Bangladesh using annual data covering the period from 2000 to 2017 within a vector autoregressive (VAR) framework using Toda-Yamamoto method. The main merit of the Toda-Yamamoto procedure is that it can be used irrespective of whether the time series in the system are integrated of different orders or non-cointegrated or both. The order of integration of the variables is initially determined using Augmented Dickey Fuller (ADF) unit root tests. The tests reveal that the maximum order of integration for the variables in the system is one. Applying Toda-Yamamoto approach of Granger causality test, an evidence of a unidirectional causality running from NPLR to GDPGR in Bangladesh is found. This research is expected to come out with good findings which will have implications for the policy makers, regulatory authorities and professionals.

Abstract: In order to promote the fiduciary responsibility of the public sector and strengthen the effective management of government assets, the Chinese governments at all levels should not only prepare reports on state-owned assets, but also prepare comprehensive financial reports based on accrual basis after 2020. The authenticity and reliability of government assets information directly affect the effective implementation of these two reforms, and the quality of assets information is highly dependent on the accrual basis of accounting measurement and reporting. Accrual basis accounting and reporting are relatively mature and scientific technology in business. China attempts to apply this business approach directly to public sector measurement and reporting of government assets. However, there is a natural difference between government assets and commercial assets. Asset measurement and reporting techniques are more complex in the practice of public sector asset management. From four dimensions of concept, scope, method selection and implementation effect, this article analysis asset identification, asset value, assets cost allocation and asset report path, and draw lessons from international experience, combined with China's actual situation, analysis the problems existing in the government assets measurement and reporting. In order to provide effective asset management reform must practice guidance, the article put forward the corresponding solution path.
