Resumo Neste estudo teve-se como objetivo identificar os fatores determinantes do nível de observância de empresas não financeiras às exigências de divulgação definidas no CPC 40 (R1). Nesse sentido, foram analisadas as notas explicativas das 113 empresas não financeiras listadas no segmento Novo Mercado da BM&FBovespa, referentes ao exercício social de 2013. Trata-se de estudo descritivo com abordagem qualitativa e quantitativa. Preliminarmente, por meio de pesquisa documental, foram identificadas as informações de riscos de mercado divulgadas, utilizando-se check-list desenvolvido a partir de disposições constantes do Pronunciamento Técnico CPC 40 (R1) – Instrumentos Financeiros: Evidenciação, verificando-se que o número de divulgações de riscos de mercado das empresas é inferior a 50% do requerido pelo normativo contábil. Em seguida, foram realizadas análises estatísticas de correlação e regressão linear com o intuito de verificar os fatores das empresas associados à divulgação de seus riscos de mercado. Com base nos resultados obtidos, verificou-se que os fatores “nível de risco”, “tamanho” e “setor de atuação” são significativos para explicar o cumprimento das empresas não financeiras às exigências definidas no CPC 40 (R1). Além disso, os resultados fornecem suporte para a aceitação da hipótese, mostrando que empresas com maior nível de risco divulgam mais informações sobre risco de mercado.Palavras-chave: Divulgação.

The objective of the study is to investigate the combined impact of cash holding and corporate governance on the performance of non-financial firms. The sample consists of 30 Islamic-based firms from Karachi Meezan Index (KMI) 30 index and 42 non-Islamic firms from Karachi Stock Exchange (KSE) 100 index in Pakistan over the period of 2010–2014. The results show that corporate cash holding has negative and significant relationship with earnings per share and returns on assets (EPS and ROA), while it has a positive and statistically significant relationship with Tobin’s Q and market share price (TQ, MSP) in both KMI 30- and KSE 100-indexed firms. In addition, we find that the structure of corporate governance is poorly performed in KMI 30- and KSE 100-indexed firms. This poor governance structure leads to the firms dispelling cash quickly, which significantly reduces the performance of these firms. So the firms can increase their performance by establishing effective corporate governance structure.

Presenting evidence from a 19th century corporation, the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company (C&O), the paper shows that issues of corporate governance have existed since the first corporations were established in the U.S. The C&O used a stockholder review committee to review the annual report of the president and directors. The paper shows how the C&O stockholders used this committee to supplement the corporate governance structure. The corporate governance structure of the C&O is also viewed from a theoretical structure as espoused by Hart [1995].

Canal companies were among the first enterprises to be organized in the corporate form and to require large amounts of capital. This paper examines the stockholder review committee of a 19th century corporation, the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company (C&O), and discusses how the C&O used this corporate governance structure to monitor and improve financial management and operations. A major strength was the concern and dedication of the stockholders to the company, while a major weakness was the political control exerted by the State of Maryland. The paper provides an historical perspective on corporate governance in the 19th century. This research contributes to the literature by providing detailed workings and practices of a stockholder review committee. The paper documents corporate governance efforts in archival sources that provide an early example of accountability required in a corporate charter and the manner in which the stockholders carried out this responsibility.
