Privatisation and accountability in a “crony capitalist” Nigerian state

Nigeria is richly endowed with oil and gas resources, but the country’s continued reliance on loans from international financial institutions raises questions about the transparency and accountability of its utilisation of the huge revenues resulting from these two resources. In order to attract international capital to bolster its revenues from sales of oil and gas, a huge proportion of which continues to be used corruptly, the World Bank has encouraged the Nigerian government to subscribe to neoliberal economic policies by enlisting accounting firms and privatising state-owned enterprises. Key justifications for this have included enhancing accountability, reducing public-sector corruption, promoting market efficiency and attracting international capital. However, this paper presents evidence of the role of accounting in the undervaluation of assets, concealment of possible malpractice, and subversion of the accountability that it should have delivered in the privatisation process. The assumption that accounting will enhance accountability, reduce public-sector corruption and promote market efficiency in privatisation, and ultimately attract investment into a crony capitalist Nigerian state, appears to be an illusion created partly through the apparent legitimacy of accounting.

Contractual variations and promises to accept less:pragmatism in the Court of Appeal

¿Siguen las ONG españolas los mecanismos voluntarios de accountability? Análisis del seguimiento de un grupo de ONG españolas de los principios propuestos por la Fundación Lealtad

Este trabajo comienza con una introducción en la que hacemos una reflexión sobre la importancia de transparencia en la información suministrada por las ONG, debido a que estimula a los donantes y al público en general, a depositar su confianza en las mismas, no solo respecto de la rendición de cuentas legalista, sino también para el resto de información que los usuarios solicitan. Respecto de la información contable, reconocemos la gran importancia que el informe de auditoría tiene, proporcionando calidad a los estados contables de las organizaciones. Por otra parte y centrándonos nuevamente en el contexto de España, analizamos el grado de aplicación de las normas contables y otras “buenas prácticas” de un grupo de ONG a partir de la información publicada por la Fundación Lealtad. A continuación intentamos comprobar si el no seguimiento de las “buenas prácticas” anteriores podría venir explicado por una serie de variables.
