(Addis Ababa University, 2007-08) Meseret Alaro; Dr. Mendida Barkessa
As its central objective, this study attempts to assess the implementation of English Interactive Radio Instruction (IRI) in selected government primary schools in Addis Ababa. In line with that, the researcher has framed specific questions that address issues related to classroom management, training given to the teachers, links among different stakeholders and the suitability and clarity of the program. Students and teachers of Grade Three from Biherawi Betemengist, Edget Besira , Karalo , Lafto and Salayish Primary Schools are participants of this study .To undertake the study descriptive research design is used . Accordingly, data that is pertinent to the study is collected using different tools such as questionnaire, observation, focus group discussion, interview and document analysis. The findings of the study reveal that the implementation of the program seems to face grave challenges. These mainly emanate from loose link among stakeholders, failure of supplying basic facilities needed to promote the fruitfulness of the program and failure to arrange suitable conditions for the broadcast. Moreover, based on the opinion of the participants, results of the study highlight that in some cases contents of the program is not suitable compared to the students language proficiency .It is also noticed from the findings of the study that classroom practice is not effectively carried out as per the very goal of the program. Despite that, both students and teachers forward positive comments about the utilization of the program for the teaching of English.Based on the findings recommendations for better service and suggestions for further studies are given.

(A.A.U, 2024-07-02) Goytom G/egziabher; Kelifa Sromolo (PhD)
This study aimed to assess the cost management practices of Segon Marill International Movers P.L.C. The
sample size of this study is 12 employees of the company. The researcher used both open-ended and closeended
Questionnaires and interviews to collect data from the company's employees and top management.
The findings revealed that the company has a separate cost accounting department with professionally
Qualified and efficient staff, although the department lacks adequate personnel. The company utilizes
Marginal, Standard, and Job Order costing approaches, but the current costing method is perceived to be
complex, lacking in transparency, and in need of better integration and automation. The study found that
the company extensively uses cost accounting information to support operational efficiency, control, and
strategic decision-making, but there are opportunities to further optimize its application. The company has
a strong focus on cost reduction and control through strategies such as operational efficiency, inventory
management, employee engagement, and supplier negotiation. Based on the findings, the study
recommends that the company should ensure the cost accounting department has sufficient staff, empower
the department to collaborate across the organization, regularly review and streamline the costing
approaches, invest in robust cost accounting systems, and foster cross-functional collaboration.
Additionally, the company should simplify the costing processes and optimize the system's structure to
improve transparency and ease of use.

In the banking sector, effective risk management systems and monitoring procedures play a
pivotal role in assessing progress towards predefined objectives. This study evaluates the credit
monitoring practices at CBE Noor in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, focusing on interest-free banking.
Data was gathered from 153 respondents across four selected branches of CBE, out of a sample
of 177 respondents who completed self-administered questionnaires. A descriptive research
design was used for data analysis, which examine main aspects of the study such as client
investment monitoring, stakeholder engagement, supervisory infrastructure, and adequacy of
professional training in credit monitoring for interest-free banking. The findings indicate a
strong positive perception of customer investment monitoring within interest-free banking.
Investors show significant interest in the establishment and growth of interest-free banking
services. The study highlights the robust supervisory infrastructure of the Commercial Bank of
Ethiopia (CBE) in the context of interest-free banking, noting its effective oversight and
supportive role in credit facilities. Additionally, the study identifies sufficient qualified personnel
dedicated to monitoring interest-free banking activities, despite lower utilization of desktop and
online tracking tools. Overall, the study underscores investor confidence and support for
interest-free banking initiatives at CBE Noor. It recommends collaborative efforts between CBE
and regulatory bodies to enhance regulatory frameworks in specific markets.
