Tax compliance and tax administration among SMEs.
(Ucu, 2024-09-11) SONKO SHAFIQ
This research focused on understanding the different taxes that small and medium-sized businesses
(SMEs) have to pay. It looks at various types of taxes, such as income tax, value-added tax (VAT), payroll
taxes, and local taxes. By explaining these tax types, the study helps us understand the complicated tax
rules that these businesses deal with. Knowing these tax requirements is important for understanding the
financial challenges and compliance issues that small and medium businesses face. The research also
looked at how SMEs in Uganda handle their tax responsibilities and what they think about different types
of taxes. The results show that all businesses agree that the turnover tax is very important, with everyone
giving it a high score and no disagreements, making it a key part of the tax system. VAT is also widely
accepted. However, Pay As You Earn (PAYE) and corporate tax are less popular.
The research showed that small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) are more likely to follow tax rules
when they want to support public services and avoid legal problems. These two reasons were the most
important. However, worries about the government misusing money and the difficulty of filing taxes
greatly affect how well SMEs follow tax rules. This shows the need for more transparency, simpler tax
processes, and better communication from tax authorities.
Suggested improvements include better support and education on PAYE and corporate tax, making VAT
and local service tax rules easier to understand, offering tax incentives or benefits for SMEs, and
increasing transparency and efficiency in tax administration. Simplifying tax procedures and addressing
concerns about corruption are important for encouraging people to follow tax laws and trust the system.
These measures aim to create a more supportive and clear tax environment that helps SMEs meet their
tax obligations effectively.

(2024-09-23) AINOMUJUNI CALEB BRIGHT
This study explores the transformative impact of electronic government procurement (e-GP) on financial reporting within public sector auditing, focusing on a case study of the Audit House. With the rise of digital solutions in governance, e-GP systems have emerged as a pivotal tool in enhancing transparency, accountability, and efficiency in procurement processes. This research, employing a qualitative approach, delves into how these technological advancements have reshaped financial reporting practices. Through in-depth interviews with 18 out of 25 targeted respondents, insights were gathered on the perceived changes in the accuracy, timeliness, and reliability of financial reports post-e-GP implementation. The findings reveal a nuanced interplay between technology and traditional auditing practices, highlighting both the benefits and challenges faced by auditors in adapting to this digital shift. Ultimately, this study contributes to the growing discourse on e-GP’s role in fostering more robust financial reporting mechanisms in the public sector, offering valuable lessons for policymakers and audit professionals alike.

(Uganda Christian University, 2024-09-23) Lambda Kelly Mangeni
Young adults leave foster care between the ages of 18 and 21 depending on their country of residence. Now the transition from foster care to independent living presents significant experiences for watoto young adults. Having potentially experienced neglect, trauma and instability in their childhoods, these young adults find it hard to establish themselves financially, emotionally and socially as independent adults. Understanding their experiences is crucial for improving their outcomes. In this study, the primary aim was to explore the experiences of young adults transitioning out of watoto foster care program through examining the strategies employed by watoto to help young adults secure stable employment as they seek independence, exploring the housing experiences of young adults during their first year after leaving the program, and exploring the primary health care needs of those who have transitioned out of the watoto care system. This study utilized a qualitative case study design to understand the in depth of the experiences of young adults transitioning out of watoto foster care in Uganda. The study employed purposive sampling, a non-randomized technique to recruit participants who met the specific criteria relevant to the research question. In this study, a qualitative data analysis was obtained through guided interviews and focused group discussions.
It is outstanding to note that from our findings Watoto child care ministries as a well-designed system for its foster care that plans for the childs entry and final exit in this we noted that a childs basic needs approach is very essential in there activity plan .they law out how a child will meet all their basics and also make it in time to come for example we were pleased to note that a child has a place to call home ,parents to call mothers and siblings in those homes they also go ahead to have gentlemen to be role model fathers( called the fathers heart program ) for every house that visit and have a chat with the childrens welfare and so much more.
With the health care, housing and strategies put in place to secure stable employment its also evident enough that Watoto has played its part by this I mean that many of the program former fosters have made it big places in the market place some are lawyers, bankers, social workers working for Uganda in different departments or even back at watoto to give their skills in the different departments.
Another outstanding factor was that even after the foster care one has built a very big support system in and outside always a call away in times of need which becomes family for further mentorship and support as Research suggests that youth in foster care who have natural mentors during adolescence have improved young adult outcomes. Connections to non-parental adults through informal mentoring is reported to enhance the outcomes of foster care youth in education/employment, psychological well-being, and physical health. Youth who had the support of a mentor also demonstrated a decreased participation in unhealthy behaviors, such as unprotected sexual activity, alcohol and substance abuse, and delinquent activities and with this Watoto has out done its self-children or adult youths have support on standby to support them throughout.

AN ANALYSIS OF THE EFFECTS OF PUBLIC DEBT ON EXCHANGE RATE VOLATILITY IN UGANDA FOR A PERIOD OF 53 YEARS (1970-2023)
(UGANDA CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY, 2024-09-06) BIDALI BOSCO
Uganda, like other developing countries, has been experiencing a rising trend in public debt, raising concerns among the public about its implications on economic variables influencing economic welfare. Notably, Uganda's exchange rate has exhibited a depreciating and volatile trend since 1970 to date, detrimental to economic growth. This study empirically investigates the effects of public debt on exchange rate volatility in Uganda from the period 1970 to 2023. This study examines the short run and long run relationship between external debt, debt servicing non external debt, foreign reserves, and exchange rates using an ARDL-ECM model. The findings disclose that external debt has an insignificant positive effect in the short run and an insignificant negative effect in the long run. In contrast, external debt service has an insignificant positive effect in the long run, meanwhile foreign reserves have a significant negative effect in the long run and a positive relationship in the short run. Based on these findings, the government should prioritize maintaining stable foreign reserves to mitigate exchange rate volatility in the short and long run. Additionally, prudent debt management and investing public debt in high-multiplier projects can enhance Uganda's capacity to repay debts and interest charges. Furthermore, concessional loans are more suitable for developing economies like Uganda.
