Do mobile money services enhance business performance? An empirical analysis of Kenyan businesses
The International Journal of Entrepreneurship and Innovation, Ahead of Print.
This study examines the impact of mobile money services on business performance by comparing the performance between businesses that use and do not use mobile money. The analysis empirically draws on cross-sectional data of 1001 Kenyan businesses from the 2018 World Bank Enterprise Survey. Propensity Score Matching is used to control for selection bias and variations in business characteristics. The results reveal that businesses that use mobile money services are more likely to be innovative in products and processes than non-users. However, they perform as well as businesses that do not use mobile money. The results also show that differences in business-specific characteristics such as business size, sector, location, and business obstacles significantly influence the adoption of mobile money by Kenyan businesses. Therefore, these results highlight the importance of mobile money services for Kenyan businesses with effective digital tools and support. Policy recommendations to enhance the financial mobile ecosystem and financial inclusion are discussed.

Revisiting the concept of the public interest in accounting: A stakeholder analysis
Abstract
This study contributes to the discussion on the meaning and operation of the public interest. The all-inclusive perspective in defining the public interest adopted by IFAC, was criticised by stakeholders, predominantly professional bodies, for being broad and impractical. IFAC responded by proposing a process-oriented approach to simplify the definition and assessment of public interest policies and actions. The limitations in understanding the public interest from both conceptual and practical perspectives have not been addressed in a significant way, suggesting there is room for further guidance on the meaning of the public interest and how to implement it.
