| dc.description | Although institutions play significant roles in ensuring a high quality of accounting practice, their impact is not well understood in the context of Nigeria. Drawing on the perception of users and compliers of accounting information, this study empirically investigates the impact of state institutions on the quality of accounting practice in Nigeria. The results of this study, using multiple regression analysis, indicate the impact of state institutions on the quality of accounting practice in Nigeria is fairly significant. Though joint significance was observed, however, the level of impact differs among the institutions. This implies that regulations are not adequate in ensuring a high level quality of accounting practice in Nigeria. These findings provide support for the need to streamline, strengthen and harmonize existing regulatory arrangements in Nigeria with a view to codifying as separate laws to enhance their effectiveness. Thus, inconsistencies in the provisions of the institutions and differences in the assessment of the quality of accounting practice by the relevant bodies would be minimized and monitoring and enforcement of regulations enhanced. | |
