The mediating role of risk management in the relationship between audit committee effectiveness and firm sustainability performance

Purpose This study aims to investigate the direct relationship between audit committee effectiveness and sustainability performance and the mediating role of risk management in the relationship between audit committee effectiveness and firm sustainability performance. Design/methodology/approach The Hayes Process regression mediation model was used in this study. The data included 2,590 firm-year observations from 518 publicly non-banking and finance companies on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2017 to 2021. Findings This study proves the important role of risk management in mediating the effect of audit committee effectiveness on firm sustainability performance. Audit committee effectiveness was found to positively and significantly affect risk management. However, the effect of audit committee effectiveness on firm sustainability performance was statistically insignificant. The robustness checks and additional tests support all the main regression results. Research limitations/implications Sample firms from Indonesia were used as representatives of developing countries. Further research may use more sample firms from multiple countries or provide a comparative study between firms in different countries. Practical implications The authority must enhance the audit committee’s role in risk management quality due to the indirect effect between the audit committee and sustainability disclosure. It should also expand the audit committee’s role to include sustainability disclosure. Social implications This study could increase community awareness of firm sustainability. Where a company is required to provide more eco-products, stakeholders are, therefore, expected to have more equal concerns. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is the first to examine risk management as a mediator of the effect of audit committee effectiveness on firm sustainability performance.

Impact of IFRS 9 Implementation and Audit Committee Effectiveness on Earnings Management in The Indonesian Banking Sector

Background- The implementation of IFRS 9, utilizing the Expected Credit Loss (ECL) method, along with effective oversight from the audit committee, can be a relevant strategy to anticipate earnings management practices. Purpose- to examine the impact of IFRS 9 implementation and audit committee supervision on restricting managerial discretion in loan loss provisions. Design/methodology/approach- This study will use a quantitative analysis method using secondary data from an annual report. The sampling method used in this study was purposive sampling, which resulted in selecting 42 banks listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange from 2017 to 2022. This study uses the data panel analysis method with the STATA analysis tool. Findings- This research found that the implementation of IFRS 9 and audit committees had an impact on increasing bank managerial discretion. This explains that the implementation of IFRS 9 and the audit committee have not been able to limit managerial discretion, which may be due to the influence of unstable economic conditions due to the pandemic and countercyclical policy to anticipate the impact of the pandemic. Research limitation- The potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on research outcomes related to managerial discretion and the effectiveness of audit committee oversight. Originality/Value- To enhance the literature related to the trends of the impact of PSAK implementation in Indonesia on earnings management more comprehensively by extending the research period and contributing to the literature by employing multiple criteria to identify the quality of oversight provided by the audit committee.

Does Sustainability Assurance enhance the connection between Corporate Governance and Firm Performance in India?

Scholarly attention to the association between corporate governance and firm performance, considering sustainability assurance as a moderator is scarce. This study aims to examine the moderating role of sustainability assurance in the nexus between corporate governance and firm performance in India. The data relating to 35 environmentally sensitive companies among the top 100 National Stock Exchange (NSE) listed entities were gathered from the ProwessIQ Database and annual reports of companies during 2016–2022. The fixed effect regression model was employed. The results show an insignificant effect of board effectiveness on firm performance as measured by return on assets (ROA), return on equity (ROE), and Tobin’s Q. Similar findings were documented on the audit committee effectiveness and firm performance nexus, except for Tobin’s Q (β = 0.316). In addition, the study did not support the moderating role of sustainability assurance on the board effectiveness and firm performance nexus, indicating the presence of ineffective corporate governance mechanisms. However, the results show that sustainability assurance significantly and negatively moderates the relationship between audit committee effectiveness and ROA (β = –0.021), ROE (β = –0.074), and Tobin’s Q (β = –0.996). This implies that the practice of external assurance of sustainability reports by firms with audit committee effectiveness is an additional burden due to the extra cost involved. Further, the result indicates the learning curve effect among Indian companies. Thus, the findings suggest the need for regulatory focus on encouraging sustainable business practices in terms of effective corporate governance and sustainability assurance.

How effective is corporate governance in preventing financial fraud in Indonesia Kompas100 firms?

This study examines the relationship between corporate governance practices and the incidence of financial fraud among firms listed on the Kompas100 Index in Indonesia. Utilizing a panel dataset of 1,000 companies over the period from 2015 to 2023, the research employs a Fixed Effects Model (FEM) to analyze the impact of key governance variables, including board composition, ownership structure, and audit committee effectiveness, on fraud occurrence. The findings reveal that firms with a higher proportion of independent directors and more effective audit committees are less likely to engage in financial fraud.

These results underscore the importance of robust governance mechanisms in preventing fraud, particularly in the context of Indonesia's evolving corporate landscape. The study also discusses the limitations of the research and offers policy recommendations to strengthen corporate governance frameworks, thereby enhancing the integrity of Indonesia's financial markets.
