The need for global financial language gave birth to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The adoption of IFRS has been argues to have changed the manner in which the financial statements are prepared, presented and reported. IFRS represents a single set of high quality, globally accepted accounting standards that can enhance comparability of financial reporting across the globe. The significant disparities between the Nigerian Statement of Accounting Standards and International Financial Reporting Standards have resulted in the Statement of Accounting Standards being regarded as outdated and incomplete as an authoritative and internationally accepted guide to the preparation of financial statements. The study however examined the extent to which Nigerian banks have implemented the provisions of IFRS frameworks. The sample comprises of fourteen quoted deposit money banks in Nigeria. Specifically, financial statement figures of 2007 – 2011 (pre-adoption period) and 2012 – 2016 (post-adoption period) were utilized. The study adopted the ex-post facto research design. Annual panel data were collected from the financial statements and accounts of 14 deposit money banks quoted on the Nigerian Stock Exchange as well from the Securities and Exchange Commission statistical bulletin from 2007 to 2016. The findings revealed that the return on shareholders’ funds has improved since implementation of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) on Nigerian banks. IFRS implementation has significant effect on the profitability of quoted banks in Nigeria. The implementation of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) has significantly influenced banks’ earnings and it was concluded that IFRS has positive impact on equity and earnings of banks. It was recommended that government and regulatory authorities should organize more quality training to get bankers informed.

This series of two articles provides a comparative overview of the position in the common-law conflict of laws in respect of the contractual capacity of natural persons. The comparative study is undertaken in order to provide guidelines for the future development of South African private international law. Reference is primarily made to case law and the opinions of academic authors. The legal position in the law of the United Kingdom, as the mother jurisdiction in Europe, is investigated in part I. Although Scotland is a mixed civil/common-law jurisdiction, the situation in that part of the United Kingdom is also discussed. Part II will deal with the rules and principles of private international law in respect of contractual capacity in Australasia (Australia and New Zealand), North America (the common-law provinces of Canada and the United States of America), Asia (India, Malaysia and Singapore) and Africa (Ghana and Nigeria). Part II also contains a comprehensive summary of the legal position in the common-law countries, followed by ideas for the reform of South African private international law in this regard.

Face à des marchés de plus en plus mouvants et exigeants et, une demande de plus en plus sophistiquée, il devient nécessaire de réguler et de rationaliser la circulation physique des marchandises depuis l’approvisionnement en matière premières ou produits finis jusqu’à leur livraison chez le client. A cette fin, des chaînes logistiques internationales se sont mises en place dans lesquelles les chaînes de transport ont été insérées pour maîtriser la qualité de service tout le long de la chaîne d’exportation, autrement dit la livraison des marchandises aux lieux voulus et dans les temps désirés par l’acheteur. Ce qui entraîne des exigences considérables de la part des chargeurs vis-à-vis des opérateurs de transport international. Ainsi, l’intégration des chaînes de transport dans la logique d’une logistique de chaîne (SUPPLY CHAIN) s’opère à travers une mutation des professions de toutes les composantes des chaînes de transport international. Cette mutation s’inscrit dans la logique de globalisation et de création des espaces économiques élargis (U.E., Zones de Libre Echange...).Elle engendre de nouvelles modalités de fluidité de circulation des marchandises et des moyens de transport. C’est dans cette tendance lourde de transformations des chaînes de transport international que le transport international multimodal a pris forme et tend à s’imposer comme vecteur de facilitation de la fluidité des échangesinternationaux.Le Maroc est à l’interface de ces mutations. Le transport international multimodal constitue une condition d’intégration dans cette mondialisation pour maîtriser les coûts logistiques facteurs de la compétitivité internationale. Ainsi, une présentation de l’état des lieux du droit du transport au Maroc face à multimodal nous paraît indispensable afin de dégager les enjeux danscette activité internationale. Faced with increasingly shifting and demanding markets and an increasingly sophisticated demand, it becomes necessary to regulate and rationalize the physical movement of goods from the supply of raw materials or finished products to their delivery at home. the customer. To this end, international logistics chains have been established in which transport chains have been inserted to control the quality of service along the entire export chain, ie the delivery of goods to the desired locations and in the time desired by the buyer. This leads to considerable demands on shippers along withinternational transport operators. Thus, the integration of transport chains in the logic of a chain logistics (SUPPLY CHAIN) takes place through a mutation of the professions of all the components of the international transport chains. This change is part of the logic of globalization and creation of expanded economic areas (U.E., Free Trade Zones ...). It generates new modalities for the smooth flow of goods and means of transport. It is in this heavy trend of transformations of international transport chains that multimodal international transport has taken shape and tends to become a vector facilitating the flow of international trade.Morocco is at the interface of thesemutations. Multimodal international transport is a condition of integration in this globalization to control the logistical costs factors of international competitiveness. Thus, a presentation of the state of transport rights in Morocco against multimodalseems essential to us to identify the stakes in this international activity.

Cet article traite la problématique des différentes alliances des compagnies internationales de transport maritime conteneurisé et leurs stratégies. Des conférences maritimes, aux consortiums, aux pools, jusqu’aux méga-alliances, les compagnies maritimes européennes, par leurs concentrations horizontales, historiquement, dominaient à l’échelle mondiale, mais le récent réveil chinois est entrain de changer la donne. A contrario de la Chine, les pays africains ont montré leur impuissance face à l’organisation verticale des compagnies maritimes internationales, qui contrôlent désormais leurs flottes, leurs ports, leurs infrastructures de transport terrestre et logistique. This article deals with the issue of different alliances of international containerized shipping companies and their strategies. From shipping conferences, to consortia, pools, to mega-alliances, European shipping companies, by their horizontal concentrations, dominated the world, but the recent Chinese awakening is changing the game. In contrast to China, African countries have shown their helplessness in the vertical organization of international shipping companies, which control their fleets, their ports, their land and logistical transport infrastructure.

The energy industry is a key source of growth stimulation for developing states. This is true not only in terms of economic growth, but also in terms of the transfer of knowledge and skills as well as the provision of employment opportunities. Understandably, developing states are well-disposed towards international investors, and are eager to enter into petroleum investment contracts with the expectation that this will bring the aforementioned benefits to their countries particularly where the host state is less able to act as a provider of such resources autonomously. On a global scale, regardless of their type, all investments face risks. These risks are volatile in nature and reach as the world economy globalises. It is, of course, true that political risk phenomena per se are potentially destructive to all industries. However, it is fair to say that due to its high stakes, the energy industry is more acutely exposed and subject to political risk than most sectors. The purpose of this article is to examine political risk, particularly direct expropriation risk, in long-term energy investment projects. This paper will refer to arbitral decisions with regard to expropriation cases, as well as the valuation techniques applied by the investment arbitration tribunals in unlawful expropriation cases.
