Thesis Abstract

The
study examined the relationship between Environmental Accounting Disclosures
and firm’s profitability in the Nigerian oil and gas industry in South- South
region of Nigeria from 2006 – 2015. The
main objective of the study was to examine the extent to which environmental
accounting disclosure impact on firm’s profitability. The methodology adopted was ex-post factor
design, this is because the event have already taken place in the past, the
design used in the study is descriptive and exploratory manner because the data
is aim at testing the hypothesis. The
study used secondary data, the data were collected from textbook, magazines, internets materials
and financial statement of Mobil Producing Nigeria Ltd from (2007 – 2016). The hypotheses were tested using Pearson
Product Moment Correlation, the test is used via SSPSS view. The findings from the study showed a
significant relationship between environmental cost and profitability of
selected firms. The study recommended
that companies should adopt uniform reporting and disclosure of environmental
issues for the purpose of control and measurement of performance and government
should make environmental reporting in annual report compulsory since most
organizations loudly report their environmental activities in their report.

Thesis Overview

INTRODUCTION1.1     Background of the StudyCompanies are expected to prepare annual reports which disclose both qualitative and quantitative information about their operations and performance (economical, financial, social or otherwise) to be presented to their stakeholders (owners or shareholders, government, employees etc.). The information content requirements of these stakeholders are diverse and as such, firms must not only disclose information about their financial performance but prepare other reports such as Environmental Accounting reports, sustainability report, Human Resources Accounting report, Good Corporate Governance Report and so on.          According to Beredugo and Mefor (2013), environmental accounting is an inclusive field of accounting. It provides reports for both internal and external use. It generates environmental information to aid management decisions on pricing, controlling overhead, and capital budgeting. Disclosing environmental information is of interest to the public and to the financial community.          In the developing countries and Nigeria in particular, research previously conducted has shown that environmental accounting disclosure are voluntary as a result of non-availability of either local or international standards to guide disclosure. Companies tend to disclose this information to conform to industry practices, pressures from environmental activist and advocates, relationship with parent company (multi-National Corporations), ownership structure of the company, size and level of profitability. (Bela, 2004).           The current position of environmental accounting reporting and disclosures might best be described as confusing and full of ambiguity. Statutory, regulatory. Quasi-regulatory agents and standard setters are yet to prioritize the reporting and disclosure standard and requirement for environmental accounting. While the accounting profession globally recognizes the financial importance and significance of environmental costs and its benefits. The majority argued that the accounting and reporting for these costs need no new theoretical issues and underpinnings but rather the guidance and requirement of International Accounting Standard 1 (IASI) (presentation of financial statement) are satisfactory. The impact of the absence of the accounting standard on environmental reporting and disclosure and the level of variations in the disclosure are some of the pertinent issues surrounding current discussion in this area.1.2     Statement of the ProblemEnvironmental accounting involves the identification, measurement and allocation of environmental costs and the integration of these costs into business. It encompasses the methods of communicating such information to companies’ stakeholders. In this sense, it is a comprehensive approach to ensure good corporate governance that includes transparency in its societal activities. The unserious attitudes of several items have not take environmental accounting into consideration makes performance below expectation (Deegan, 2014). This is because environmental accounting helps the items to record all environmental costs incurred by the business, finding a way of reducing the impact of it activities on the environment (environmental expenses) so as to remain environmentally friendly. According to Pramanik, Shil and Das (2007). Some of the specific issues (problems) affecting the environmental accounting and reporting practices include: Identification of environmental cost and expenses, Capitalization of cost, Identification of environmental liabilities and Measurement of liabilities          At present, no accounting standard has been issued for accounting treatment of these specific problems. However, some guidelines regarding these issues have been issued by many organizations such as international chamber of commerce, the Japanese Industry Association, the chemical manufacturing association, inter-governmental working group of expert on intimation standards of accounting and reporting. As regard environmental reporting, different organizations have also issued guidelines. But these guidelines are only advisory in nature and not mandatory. Consequently, the researcher interest is therefore to investigate the practice reporting status of the companies in South-South Region of Nigeria and how this affects the profitability of these companies.1.3     Objectives of the Study          The main objective of this study is to examine the extent to which environmental accounting disclosure impacts on firm’s profitability. The specific objectives are:1.     To evaluate the level of environmental information activities disclosed by firms in their annual reports.2.     To examine the effect of the different accounting method of disclosing environmental accounting cost.3.     To examine the relationship between environmental accounting disclosures and firm’s profitability.1.4
