Key research themes

1. How does accounts receivable management influence firm profitability and liquidity in manufacturing and consumer goods sectors?

This research theme investigates the impact of accounts receivable management (ARM) practices on firm profitability and liquidity, particularly in manufacturing and consumer goods industries in emerging markets such as Nigeria, Somalia, and Bangladesh. Understanding this relationship is crucial because accounts receivable constitute a significant portion of current assets and directly affect cash flow, working capital, and ultimately firm performance. Efficient ARM can optimize liquidity, reduce bad debts, and enhance profitability, while poor management may impair financial health and sustainability.

Key finding: Using a panel dataset of nine Nigerian consumer goods firms (2000-2020), the study found a unidirectional causality from accounts receivable management (ARM) to return on assets (ROA), with ARM exhibiting significant positive... Read more

2. What are effective working capital management strategies involving accounts receivable, payable, and liquidity to optimize firm value in emerging markets?

3. How do legal frameworks and technological advancements influence the management and securitization of accounts receivable internationally?

This theme investigates the interplay between international private law, contractual doctrines, and emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) in the governance, assignment, and automation of accounts receivable. It covers legal complexities related to determining applicable laws for receivables, the contractual change of parties, security interests, and the role of AI and machine learning in improving accounts payable and receivables processes, reflecting on regulatory and operational impacts.

Key finding: The article clarified that the law applicable to receivables differs from the law governing their security (e.g., pledges or suretyship). The accessory or abstract nature of securing rights influences conflict-of-law... Read more
