Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We invite scholars, practitioners, and industry experts to submit articles for our upcoming topic on “Financial Management”. Financial management is the process of managing an organisation’s financial resources to ensure their effective and efficient use. Against this backdrop, managers of organisations must develop and implement financial plans that align with the organisation’s goals. These financial plans include (i) creating budgets (ii) forecasting cash flows, and (iii) analysing financial statements to identify areas where the organisation can improve its financial performance.

Given the limited resources available for both short- and long-term projects, organisations face an increasing need to develop and implement financial plans that align with their strategic goals. To this end, this topic aims to explore the increasingly important field of financial management, which covers a wide range of related topics. This includes strategies for effective financial forecasting and budgeting, as well as recognising, classifying, and mitigating financial risks in organisations. It entails making capital structure decisions and investment decisions that prioritise wealth maximisation. It involves best practises in transparency and compliance, particularly in light of regulatory changes in financial reporting. It also includes discussions on sustainability and ethical investment practises, while addressing the impact of digital transformation on financial management processes.

We welcome both theoretical and empirical contributions on the various aspects of financial management practises. Our goal is to foster discussions on how financial management can support the growth and sustainability of organisations. We are particularly interested in studies that present innovative approaches, strategies, and policies aimed at building sustainable financial management systems within organisations.

We look forward to receiving your valuable contributions to this important topic.

This study explores how adjustments in risk management can influence the future financial performance of 20 countries in the MENA (Middle East and North Africa) region. While the existing literature has explored risk factors in emerging economies, this research provides novel empirical evidence on how risk management practices influence long-term financial stability and growth, a dimension underexplored in the MENA context. Using a Panel Vector Autoregression (PVAR) model, we analyze data from 2005 to 2021 to quantify the dynamic relationship between risk mitigation strategies and key financial outcomes, accounting for regional volatility and cross-country heterogeneity. This methodology allows for the examination of the impact of risk management on future financial outcomes, considering both current uncertainties and strategic approaches to mitigating risks. The results reveal that robust forward-looking risk management practices significantly impact the future financial performance and resilience of the countries in the MENA region. Our findings highlight that a well-designed risk management strategy is crucial for averting financial crises and supporting long-term economic growth and sustainability of nations. This study contributes to the understanding of how strategic risk management can drive future economic and financial stability in the MENA region, providing unique insights into the role of forward-thinking risk practices in shaping national success.

Nigerian banks encounter persistent difficulties in efficiently managing and disclosing credit and liquidity risks, considerably affecting their financial performance and shareholders’ confidence. This study, therefore, examined the effect of risk-management practices and disclosures on the financial performance of Nigerian commercial banks. The population of the study comprised 13 Nigerian commercial banks, of which 12 were purposively chosen, subject to data availability. The data explored in this study originate from World Development Indicators and the annual reports and accounts of the selected Nigerian commercial banks from 2012 to 2023. The data analysis technique used was panel regression analysis, which was further extended to the generalized method of moments in a bid to account for potential endogeneity. The study made use of EViews 12 software to analyse the data. The results reveal that liquidity risk disclosure and firm size had significant and positive effects on financial performance, while credit risk disclosure, credit risk, firm age, and leverage had significant and negative effects. This study concludes that credit risks significantly undermine commercial banks’ financial performance, as an upsurge in non-performing loans results in reduced financial performance. Conversely, effective liquidity risk disclosure characterized by transparent reporting on liquidity position was found to enhance financial performance. This study, therefore, recommends, among others, that banks should strengthen their credit risk assessment framework and enhance transparent risk reporting to improve performance and financial stability.
