Companies engage in CSR and GCG activities because they believe it will improve their financial performance. Income uncertainty as an impact of pandemic makes it interesting to examine how company will operate throughout 2019-2021. This study uses data on financial dan sustainability reports from five sectors of manufacturing companies. The proportion of institutional ownership and independent commissioners, as well as the audit quality, are used to calculate GCG. The disclosed activities in SR are measured for CSR. The modified Jones model is used to measure earnings management. ROA, EPS, and Tobin's Q are used to measure financial performance. PLS method and WarpPLS v.8.0 was used to examine the hypotheses in this study. The study’s findings demonstrate that GCG significantly affect financial performance and earnings management. CSR has a substantial effect on financial performance while having no effect on earnings management. Earnings management have no significant effect on financial performance. Meanwhile, earnings management is considered unable to mediate the effect of GCG and CSR on financial performance.

Board gender diversity, institutional ownership and earnings management: evidence from East African community listed firms

PurposeThe purpose of this study was to examine the moderating role of institutional ownership on the relationship between board gender diversity and earnings management (EM) among listed firms in East African Community (EAC) partner states.Design/methodology/approachThe study used a sample of 71 firms listed in the EAC partner states over 2011–2020. Data were handpicked from the individual firm's audited annual financial reports. Based on the results of the Hausman test, the study used the results of the fixed-effect regression model to test the hypotheses. To test the robustness of the results, the study employed an alternative measure of EM and two additional econometric techniques, including the pooled ordinary least squares (OLS) and the system generalized method of moments (GMM).FindingsThe empirical findings revealed that female directors improve the board's effectiveness in monitoring managerial roles. Specifically, the results showed a significantly negative relationship between the proportion of women in the corporate board and EM (as measured by discretionary accruals (DAs)). The findings further revealed an inverse relationship between the proportion of institutional ownership and EM. Finally, the results further demonstrated that institutional ownership enhances the role of board gender diversity in mitigating EM among listed firms in the EAC.Practical implicationsThe findings of this study may be useful to managers, investors and regulators in assessing the role of institutional ownership and women's participation on corporate boards as a strategy for alleviating unethical manipulation of earnings.Social implicationsThe findings of this study contribute to the growing concern on gender inequality, especially the marginalization of women from the paid labor force and decision-making. The findings highlight the importance of having more women in the corporate board since this may help in mitigating corporate fraud. Similarly, the findings highlight the importance of institutional ownership as a corporate governance (CG) tool.Originality/valuePrevious studies have reported mixed empirical results on whether board gender diversity mitigates EM. To the best of the author's knowledge, this is the first paper to fill the existing gap by exploring whether institutional ownership moderates the relationship between board gender diversity and EM among listed firms in the EAC.

An investigation into the effect of audit firm size, auditor tenure, institutional ownership, board characteristics on auditor independence

The independence of an auditor is a crucial issue because of its potential impact on audit quality. This study examines the effect of audit firm size, auditor tenure, institutional ownership, board independence, and board diversity on the audit quality. The sample comprised 52 listed service firms on the Jordanian Stock Exchange, whose data were obtained for the years from 2013 to 2016, and 208 firm-year observations were involved in the analyses process. In this study, auditor independence served as the proxy for audit quality. The results reveal that audit firm size and institutional owners and board independence significantly and positively influence audit quality. The results reveal that companies with a higher proportion of institutional ownership and independent members of the board and being audited by a Big 4 firm are more likely to maintain the independence of the external auditor. However, auditor tenure and board diversity had no significant relationship with auditor independence. The results could be useful for the management of companies that are interested in enhancing the quality of audit work in their companies.

Exploring Determinants of the Proportion of Monetary Corporate Philanthropy

This essay seeks to uncover further nuances in the stakeholder management - philanthropy relationship by empirically investigating the determinants of the proportion of total (monetary plus in-kind donations) corporate philanthropy dispatched in the form of cash. The types of philanthropy employed may relay very different messages regarding the firm’s attributes thus, potentially invoking disparate responses by shareholders. We hypothesize that the proportion of institutional ownership and the existence of strong CSR policies, are negatively related to the proportion of cash-based philanthropy. We also hypothesize that the existence of weak CSR policies are positively related to the proportion of philanthropy in cash and that the breadth of philanthropic commitment is negatively related. We demonstrate our theoretical contention that the two distinct stakeholder management strategies (Strategic and Intrinsic) are related differently to the proportion of cash-based philanthropy, using a dataset comprised of 113 firms over an eleven year period from 2000-2010. While the relationship between the proportion of philanthropy in cash and weak CSR policies is positive but not significant, the proportion of philanthropy in cash is negatively related to the degree of institutional ownership, strong CSR and philanthropic breadth, as expected.

Corporate Governance and Efficiency in Nepalese Commercial Banks

The 1997-1998 economic crises in the Asian countries highlighted the importance of corporate governance. In developing countries such as Nepal, a good governance of banks is crucial for the survival of its economy.

The Impact of Corporate Governance on the Disclosure of Manager-Adjusted Non-GAAP Earnings

This paper investigates the association between corporate governance and the disclosure of non-GAAP earnings measures in quarterly earnings announcements. The results reveal that the previously documented decrease in the probability of disclosure of non-GAAP earnings after Regulation G is lower in firms with (1) a higher level of institutional ownership and (2) more independent members on the board of directors. These results suggest that firms with stronger corporate governance mechanisms are less likely to make misleading earnings adjustments and, as a result, they have lower incentives to cease reporting manager-adjusted earnings numbers in the presence of SEC scrutiny. Interestingly, the presence of strong corporate governance mechanisms appears to decrease investors' reliance on adjusted earnings measures. An analysis of the market's reaction to earnings announcements indicates that both a high proportion of institutional ownership and a high percentage of outside directors are associated with a lower market reaction to non-GAAP earnings.

Contested Tender Offers: An Estimate of the Hazard Function

In this article we estimate the hazard function (takeover probabilities) for firms that are targets in unsolicited tender offers. The data support a Weibull–gamma specification and imply a hazard rate that increases sharply in the initial period following the bid announcement, after which it declines steadily. In explaining the hazard, we find that the initial bid premium has no explanatory power, but the onset of an auction and the proportion of institutional ownership in the target firm significantly enhance the hazard. Legal and financial restructuring actions by target management are effective in reducing the hazard, thereby prolonging the contest.
