    Forensic Accounting Technique Adaptation and Firms Internal Control
    (Crawford Journal of Multidisciplinary Research, 2021-09) Amuno Jonathan Emamuzo; Ezeh Chidera Maryjane; Omorogbe Comfort E
    This research work examined the adaptation of forensic accounting techniques in terms of information on computer assisted document reviews, forensic reports and mediation skills on firms’ internal control. A correlation research design was used to describe the statistical relationship between the variables. A case study was purposively and conveniently selected with 94 respondents from the Accounting and Auditing staffers of the firm involved in an accounting scandal with regards to over statement of the company’s profit and went through forensic audit. The data collected was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical tools. OLS regression method was adopted in estimating the regression line. The R-square of the analysis (R2 = 0.581; P<0.05)shows that 58% variations in internal control system is explained by influence of these forensic techniques (computer assisted document review, forensic reports and mediation skills). The study concluded that forensic accounting techniques have significant adaptive influence on internal control and this would effectively help to strengthen weak internal control systems. In this respect, the study recommends that the management should make the forensic reports available to the internal control units in the organisation so that they could use information therein to improve on control measures. Also, the study recommends that internal control should be given appropriate attention to promote continuous monitoring of the controls through forensic accounting techniques while ensuring appropriate penalties in place for any lack of compliance to various control procedures.

    Mass Media Reportage of Police Harassment and Brutality of Nigerians in a Democratic Dispensation (A Study of the Punch and the Guardian Newspapers)
    (Crawford Journal of Postgraduate Studies, 2022) Amuno Jonathan Emamuzo; Odunlami Olusegun Abimbola; Boma Stella Erekosima; Ake Oluwaseun Omofoaye
    The mass media serves as a vital component in the day-to-day life of the public as helps to keep the members of a society, community, state, country well informed about what is happening around them. When mass media organisations are unable to carry out their duties to the public objectively, this causes public distrust in the media. In view of this, this paper focuses on mass media reportage of police harassment and brutality of Nigerians in a democratic dispensation with special attention to The Punch and The Guardian newspapers. This paper borders on giving insight to the issue of police harassment and brutality of Nigerians and how the media portrays/reports such negative activities of the Nigerian Police to the general public. This study is premised on Social Action, Social Conflict and Agenda Setting Theories. The paper adopted content analysis and a multi-stage sampling technique, that is, simple random and systematic sampling techniques to conclude on the sampling size. From coding guide developed, it was discovered that there are gaps in newspaper reportage and even contents on Police harassment and brutality of Nigerians. The study discovered that less prominence is given to this issue of social menace that could degenerate into violence and unrest in the country. The paper therefore recommends that stories on police brutality and harassment of Nigerians should be given more prominence and frequent reportage in order to build public trust in the mass media as an agent of positive societal change.
