Quality financial reporting plays an important role in government accountability and meeting its financial management responsibilities to its citizens. The implementation of IPSAS was an integral part of public sector reforms and based on a global trend to respond to requests for increased financial accountability and transparency from government which reflect significant democratic values.This research focused on issues and benefits of implementing IPSAS on the consistency of financial reports by evaluating theoretical and past empirical studies in meeting the requirements for utility of decision. The IPSAS adoption review showed that international best practices were presented to government agencies, international intergovernmental organizations and international organisations. It stressed the advantages of good governance, accountability and transparency. Further analysis highlights Nigeria's problems during the time focusing on openness, accountability, comparability, and management and decision-making processes.

This exploratory descriptive research empirically investigated the impact of compliance with board responsibilities on the profitability of MSEs in Ghana. It is anchored on agency and steward theoretical frameworks. 1010 respondents participated in the study and questionnaire was used to collect data. This parametric-quantitative research revealed that: Ghanaian MSEs’ aggregate compliance to board's responsibilities is circa 43%; Compliance to board of directors’ responsibility has circa 31% significant positive association with medium scale enterprises’ profitability at 99% confidence level; and compliance to board of directors’ responsibilities among MSEs in Ghana has 34% statistical significant positive effect on their profitability after controlling for the role of managerial qualifications. The major limitation of this study is that it lacks comparative empirical analysis; as such, the generalization of its findings is very much limited to Ghanaian MSEs only. Therefore, it would not be out of place for a similar study to be carried out in other countries (for example, the English-speaking countries of West Africa). It would also be necessary if profitability figures from audited annual reports of MSEs are incorporated in future study as this research did not incorporate them.
Extensive and rapid advances in technology have had a variety of effects on various areas of human society, including ways of doing work and job duties. Teleworking is a new way of doing things that has various benefits at the personal and organizational level. In this paper, we examined the theoretical and practical perspectives of teleworking. We have studied the advantages and disadvantages of telecommuting, especially in developed countries where the administrative system is continuously improved, in statistical reports. These reports show that despite, the necessary infrastructure, teleworking has not been sufficiently used. There was also a survey conducted by a government agency to surveying employees about whether they were willing to work. A comprehensive definition of teleworking is a choice of how to do work, which allows employees to do all or part of their work outside the work environment, meaning that people can communicate from their home, from a remote communication center, and do their homework near home or at work [1].
