Corporate governance and financial fraud occurrence – case study on Romanian companies

PurposeThe aim of this study is to approach the way in which corporate governance influences the occurrence of financial fraud, as expressed by the M-Beneish score. In order to get further into the topic, we have first computed a corporate governance score based on the comply-explain statement and then selected a few elements that are part of the corporate governance reporting: equilibrium of board members (EQUIL), independence of board members (INDEP), selection of the board members (NOM), remuneration policy (REM), audit committee (AUDIT) and the proportion of female directors on boards (GenF). They were tested, one by one, using the financial fraud score to see the way in which they interact.Design/methodology/approachThe study is conducted on a sample of 65 companies listed on the Bucharest Stock Exchange (BSE) for the 2016–2022 period. The data were processed using three-stage general least square [general least squares (GLS), with iteration, igls and option] with a common first-order panel-specific autocorrelation correction, so as to explain how a poor adoption of the corporate governance score and its elements has a negative implication for the M-Beneish score, controlling for the auditor opinion, type of auditing company and if the company is privately owned.FindingsThe results support most of our research hypothesis, revealing that a poor adoption of the corporate governance score and its components – AUDIT, EQUIL, INDEP and GenF – negatively influences the M-Beneish score, i.e. a low corporate governance score will lead to an increase in financial fraud. This is an encouraging aspect, for an improved adoption of the corporate governance principles reduces the occurrence of financial fraud.Research limitations/implicationsThis is a study that concerns the relationship between corporate governance and financial fraud for the case study for Romania.Practical implicationsThe study highlights the importance of adopting the corporate governance code applied to the Romanian business environment. By measuring the presence of financial fraud appearance through the M-Beneish score, we have managed to outline the negative relationship between the two components. Thus, it is an important aspect of which companies should take account, so they will have long-term benefits and ensure the continuity of the business.Social implicationsThe policy implications of this project are for policymakers, so that they will understand how a good corporate governance mechanism will enhance high-performing businesses. Different aspects regarding corporate governance were validated and are in the process of being validated. Managers can extract and try to understand and apply the good characteristics of corporate governance for the well-being of their companies. At a broader level, the macroeconomic environment will increase its own well-being while encouraging market players to enhance qualitative corporate governance reporting. There is no doubt that corporate governance has a positive impact on businesses.Originality/valueThe study highlights the importance of adopting the corporate governance code as applied to the Romanian business environment. By measuring the occurrence of financial fraud using the M-Beneish score, we have managed to outline the negative relationship between the two components. Therefore, this is an important aspect that companies should take into account in order to have long-term benefits and ensure the continuity of their business.

The Impact of Implementing Good Corporate Governance Mechanisms and Compliance Programs in Combating Corruption in Egyptian Companies: A Case Study from Egypt

In recent years, there has been increasing interest and demand for the application of good corporate governance mechanisms and compliance programs as a means of reducing corruption in institutional companies. Since corporate corruption is widespread in all societies, both developed and developing, and since corruption has a serious impact on economic, sustainable, and social development, there has been widespread agreement that the application of good corporate governance mechanisms and compliance programs are effective tools that can reduce the serious consequences of corruption in large companies. Therefore, this study aimed to study the impact of the application of different corporate governance mechanisms and compliance programs on reducing corporate corruption. The study also included the advantages and disadvantages of each corporate governance mechanism according to the latest findings of experimental studies. The study also assessed the extent to which Egyptian companies comply with the Egyptian legislation and laws issued for corporate governance, and identified the best mechanisms that can be applied in Egyptian companies to govern those companies and implement compliance programs, and the impact of the application of good governance in reducing Egyptian corporate corruption, increasing employee and customer satisfaction, and reducing the depletion of company resources. In addition, the study addressed the main challenges facing Egyptian companies in implementing good corporate governance and compliance. The results of the study indicated that corporate governance mechanisms proposed by most international agencies and organizations concerned with combating corruption have an effective impact in reducing corruption in companies. However, to achieve the desired results from each good corporate governance mechanism, recent experimental studies have proposed some requirements or precautions that companies or governments can commit to to maximize the benefits of these mechanisms. On the other hand, the results of the study showed that Egyptian companies, both in the private and public sectors, have taken serious steps in implementing good corporate governance and implementing compliance programs. However, companies do not fully comply with the instructions of good corporate governance, and there are still some shortcomings in the implementation of good corporate governance and compliance programs. These shortcomings are due to several different reasons, which are mainly related to the non-mandatory nature of corporate governance in Egypt, in addition to the lack of sufficient incentives for companies to implement the proposed programs.

External tournament incentives and corporate social irresponsibility

AbstractWe integrate the perspectives of tournament and agency theories to examine whether, how, and when external tournament incentives influence firms' corporate social irresponsibility (CSI). Using data on Chinese listed companies from 2003 to 2020, we show that external tournament incentives positively affect firms' CSI. Essentially, CEOs can use CSI to rapidly improve the firm's short‐term performance and thus increase their chances of winning external tournaments. Therefore, CEOs have an incentive to push companies to implement more CSI in response to external tournament incentives. Meanwhile, we find that good external corporate governance mechanisms (short‐selling pressure, marketization, and social trust) inhibit CEOs' opportunistic tendency to use CSI in response to external tournament incentives, thus attenuating the positive impact of external tournament incentives on CSI. This study extends the literature on external tournament incentives and CSI and provides important insights for shareholders and policymakers to effectively curb CSI.

This study aims to examine and analyze the effect of financial distress, information asymmetry, auditor type and good corporate governance mechanism on accounting prudence. Data collection in this study was carried out by indirect observation by researchers on the research object, namely manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange, to be precise at the Capital Market Reference Center. Observations made by researchers are non-participant observations, where the authors make observations as data collectors without involving themselves or being part of the social environment being observed, in this case the manufacturing companies and the listed components. The results of this study indicate that financial distress has a positive effect because when a company's finances are in trouble, managers tend to apply prudent accounting principles to reduce conflicts between investors and creditors, meaning that managers will increase their understanding of accounting prudence in response to high levels of financial distress. Information asymmetry has no effect, meaning that whether there is information asymmetry between investors and company management will not affect management's ability to prepare prudential financial reports. The type of auditor has a positive effect because the big four will be better able to detect possible errors in financial statements so that companies will apply accounting prudence more. The board of commissioners has no effect, because the management oversight function is not carried out properly because not all commissioners are able to carry out their duties properly. The independence of the board of commissioners has no effect, because an independent board of commissioners does not necessarily reduce conflicts of interest in a company because not all commissioners are free from business relationships.

Literature Review: Mediation Effects of Debt Maturity on Good Corporate Governance in Enhancing Financial Performance

This study proposes a research model to investigate the mediating effect of debt maturity on the relationship between good corporate governance (GCG) and financial performance. The qualitative approach employed is a systematic literature review (SLR) technique, analyzing 11 articles selected from 142 related ones found on the Google Scholar database within the 2010-2021 research range based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Debt maturity was found to play a crucial role in shaping the effectiveness of GCG mechanisms in managing financial risks and improving financial performance. The proposed research model has implications for researchers and practitioners, providing a basis for future empirical studies exploring the interplay between GCG, debt maturity, and financial performance. For practitioners, it offers a theoretical framework for developing policies and practices promoting effective GCG and optimal debt maturity structures to enhance financial performance. The findings inform the development of policies and procedures that promote good corporate governance and optimal debt maturity structures, leading to improved financial performance. Additionally, the proposed research model may be applied to other contexts, contributing to a better understanding of the role of debt maturity in the relationship between GCG and financial performance.
