Abstract

This BSc study investigates the subject matter outlined in the title above through a structured research design appropriate to the BSc level. Using primary and/or secondary data collection methods, the research examines the underlying variables, tests relevant hypotheses, and presents findings with implications for practice and policy. This is placeholder abstract text generated for catalogue preview purposes; the full document contains a complete, topic-specific abstract, literature review, methodology, data analysis, and conclusion.

Chapter One — 1.1 Background to the Study

Over the past decade, the relationship between related party transactions and investment decision-making has become a subject of considerable debate among scholars and industry practitioners alike, particularly within the context of the Nigerian Capital Market where operating conditions differ markedly from more developed markets.

Within the context of the Nigerian Capital Market, this relationship carries particular significance. Organizations in this setting operate under a distinct combination of economic, regulatory, and market conditions that may amplify or dampen the effect of related party transactions on investment decision-making, making a context-specific inquiry both timely and necessary.

1.2 Statement of the Problem

While related party transactions is widely discussed in policy and industry circles, empirical evidence on its actual effect on investment decision-making within the Nigerian Capital Market remains sparse and, in places, contradictory. This lack of localized, rigorous evidence makes it difficult for decision-makers to know with confidence whether current approaches to related party transactions are helping or hindering investment decision-making — a gap this study sets out to close.

1.3 Objectives of the Study

  1. To examine the effect of Related Party Transactions on investment decision-making in the Nigerian Capital Market.
  2. To assess the extent to which related party transactions influences investment decision-making within the study area.
  3. To identify the challenges associated with related party transactions in relation to investment decision-making.
  4. To recommend strategies for optimizing related party transactions in order to improve investment decision-making.

1.4 Research Questions

  1. What is the effect of related party transactions on investment decision-making in the Nigerian Capital Market?
  2. To what extent does related party transactions influence investment decision-making within the study area?
  3. What challenges are associated with related party transactions in relation to investment decision-making?
  4. What strategies can be adopted to optimize related party transactions in order to improve investment decision-making?

1.5 Significance of the Study

Beyond its academic contribution to the field of accounting, this study has practical value for management teams within the Nigerian Capital Market seeking to understand how related party transactions translates into measurable outcomes around investment decision-making. It is equally useful to students and future researchers looking for a localized empirical reference on this relationship.

1.6 Scope of the Study

The study is limited to an examination of Related Party Transactions and its relationship with investment decision-making within the context of the Nigerian Capital Market. It reflects a BSc-level scope of analysis and relies on data and perspectives available within that scope; generalizing the findings beyond this specific context should therefore be done with appropriate caution.
