| contents | <p>Abstract: The study investigates the relationship between firm attributes and environmental<br>accounting reporting among listed oil and gas companies in Nigeria. Using secondary data<br>extracted from annual reports of eleven firms between 2011 and 2020, environmental disclosure<br>was measured through a 20-item Environmental Reporting Index (ERI). Firm size, leverage,<br>profitability, and listing age were adopted as explanatory variables, while multiple regression<br>analysis tested the hypotheses at a 5% significance level. The results show that the average ERI<br>score of 12.7 out of 20 indicates a moderate but inconsistent level of disclosure among the firms<br>studied. Empirical evidence revealed that firm size and leverage are significant positive<br>predictors of environmental reporting, while profitability and listing age, though positive, are<br>statistically insignificant. The model explains 62% of the variation in environmental disclosure,<br>confirming the joint influence of firm attributes on reporting practices. The study concludes that<br>larger and highly leveraged firms are more likely to disclose environmental information,<br>supporting stakeholder and signaling theories, while profitability and firm maturity do not play<br>decisive roles. It recommends strengthening regulatory frameworks, expanding disclosure<br>requirements across industries, and promoting capacity building to enhance environmental<br>accountability in Nigeria.</p> |
