Drawing on regulatory efforts such as the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI), Country-by-Country Tax Reporting (CCTRI), and Product and Production Tax Report Initiatives (PPTRI), the study examines how these measures influence corporate financial disclosures. Using data from three major listed firms and applying multiple regression analysis, the study finds that while EITI and Corporate Tax Policy Initiatives (CTPI) show statistically insignificant effects, both CCTRI and PPTRI significantly reduce financial misreporting. The research underscores the necessity of robust and enforceable tax transparency frameworks, not only to deter fraud and enhance investor trust but also to improve fiscal accountability, attract foreign investment, and strengthen Nigeria\u2019s economic governance. Ultimately, the paper advocates for a multifaceted approach combining transparency with stringent regulatory oversight to tackle the persistent issue of financial misreporting in the extractive industry.<\/p><p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Keywords:<\/strong><\/p><p>Tax Transparency, Financial Misreporting, Oil and Gas Sector, Corporate Accountability, Nigeria.<\/p><p><a href=\"#\"><strong>Received<\/strong>:<\/a> 22 May 2025<\/p><p><a href=\"#\"><strong>Accepted:<\/strong><\/a> 26 June 2025<\/p><p><a href=\"#\"> <strong>Published:<\/strong><\/a> 01 July 2025<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-184bba0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"184bba0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-md\" href=\"https:\/\/seybold-report.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/AJAYI-OWOEYE-Ayooluwa-Olotu.pdf\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-icon elementor-align-icon-left\">\n\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"far fa-file-pdf\"><\/i>\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">PDF<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TITLE:\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 TAX TRANSPARENCY INITIATIVES AND FINANCIAL MISREPORTING OF LISTED OIL AND GAS PRODUCING COMPANIES IN NIGERIA \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0AUTHORS:\u00a0 \u00a0 AJAYI-OWOEYE, Ayooluwa Olotu, IJADUOLA, Adekunbi Ganiat DOI: 10.5281\/zenodo. 15779511 Page:\u00a0 \u00a005-26\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Vol: 20\u00a0 \u00a0 Issue: 07\u00a0 \u00a0Year: 2025 \u00a0 \u00a0 ABSTRACT The paper explores the impact of tax &hellip;<\/p>\n<p class=\"read-more\"> <a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/seybold-report.com\/index.php\/ajayi-owoeye-ayooluwa-olotu\/\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">AJAYI-OWOEYE, Ayooluwa Olotu<\/span> Read More &raquo;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"no-sidebar","site-content-layout":"page-builder","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"disabled","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"disabled","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-13417","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
