Book Description
The study explores the impact of taxes on the dividend policy particularly in banks in Nigeria. The study was set out to examine the relationship of profit, dividend and taxes especially in the banking sector. The research underscores the theoretical assumptions of the Mamp;M theory. The standard multiple regression analysis was applied in testing the hypothesis. The study identified pattern of past dividends, concern about maintaining a target capital structure, current degree of financial leverage, shareholder need for dividend income, legal rules and constraints; such as impairment of capital, the desire to send favourable signals to investors, the desire to conform to the industry's dividend payout among factors influencing dividend policy of banks. The analyses of the study show a significant correlation between taxes and dividend structure of the banks and also suggest that profit is a major variable in the formation of dividend policy of the organisations. This is supported by the hypothesis, which showed significant effect of profit on dividend and a positive correlation between profit, tax and dividend. The finding corroborates the postulations of some financial theorists and recommends capital gains in lieu of dividend for high taxpayers and that an adoption of a dividend policy by banks particularly in Nigeria should be strictly considered based on the unique circumstances of the bank and not necessarily based on age long traditional factors often formulated by academics.

Book Description
In the world of investment, making a good decision could be equated to making good profit, and this has led to the issue around dividend policy which has attracted the attentions of investors and researchers over the years. This study investigated the impact of dividend policy on investors' preferences on Nigeria's capital market. Specifically, the study investigated the relationship between dividend per share, dividend yield, earnings per share and share price as measures for dividend policy, with equity ratio as a measure for investors preferences. Using quasi experimental design, secondary data were sourced from NSE closure of register and the financial reports of 12 firms listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange for the period 2009-2019. Four hypotheses on the relationship between dividend per share, dividend yield, earnings per share and share price with equity ratio, were tested using the OLS regression analysis. The study found that all the independent variables except share price are negatively and insignificantly related to equity ratio. Nevertheless, the independent variables have combined positive and significant relationship with equity ratio. Therefore, it is concluded that dividend policy impacts on investor's preferences but not without some other external effects. It is therefore recommended that firms should pay attention to their dividend policy especially share price; give detailed information on their dividend policy through their annual report; and investors should look beyond share price to observe other dividend policy variables that may give them information on the future of the stock of interest.

Book Description
'Investor Protection and Corporate Governance' analyzes the impact of corporate governance on firm performance and valuation. Using unique datasets gathered at the firm-level the first such data in the region and results from a homogeneous corporate governance questionnaire, the book examines corporate governance characteristics, ownership structures, dividend policies, and performance measures. The book's analysis reveals the very high levels of ownership and voting rights concentrations and monolithic governance structures in the largest samples of Latin American companies up to now, and new data emphasize the importance of specific characteristics of the investor protection regimes in several Latin American countries. By and large, those firms with better governance measures across several dimensions are granted higher valuations and thus lower cost of capital. This title will be useful to researchers, policy makers, government officials, and other professionals involved in corporate governance, economic policy, and business finance, law, and management.
