<p class="Default">The purpose of this paper is to analyze the moderating effect of corporate governance and ownership features in lessening earnings management practices in a free cash flow (FCF) situation. A simultaneous equations model is developed to address endogeneity of the FCF variable. Based on a sample of French companies belonging to the SBF 120 index from 2001 to 2010, the results highlight the opportunistic behavior of managers in presence of free cash flows. Particularly, managers engage in earnings management practices that increase reported earnings. Our results also show that corporate governance mechanisms such as audit committee independence and external audit quality, in addition to institutional investors and managerial ownership reduce the extent of earnings management. Corporate governance mechanisms are substitutive in their monitoring role of managers’ behavior to reduce earnings management in presence of a free cash flow problem. </p>

Investment Opportunity Set

This study uses investment opportunity set (IOS) as an environmental factor, and investigates its moderating effect on the relationships between corporate governance mechanisms (including internal and external corporate governance mechanisms) and firm performance. The empirical results using regression analysis show: (1) The IOS does not have a moderating effect on audit quality and firm performance. (2) The negative relationship between institutional investor ownership and firm performance is stronger for firms with higher investment opportunities. (3) When CEO is the chairman of the board, high growth firms can lead to better firm performance. (4) The relationship between the IOS and pledged shares ratio of directors and supervisors has positive influence on firm performance

Research aims: This study aims to analyze the role of Islamic corporate governance mechanisms on the performance of Islamic banks. Besides, it also analyzes the effect of risk profiles, especially those that are directly related to bank financing, on the performance of Islamic Banks.Design/Methodology/Approach: Sharia banks that become the objects are Sharia Commercial Banks (SCB) and Sharia Business Units of Conventional Banks (SBU). This study uses data from 20 sharia banks (11 SCB and 9 SBU). The analytical tool used in this study is panel data regression.Research findings: The results show that the meeting frequency of the Board of Commissioners, Sharia Supervisory Board (SSB), Financing to Deposits Ratio (FDR), and bank size have a significant positive effect on the performance of Islamic banks. Non-Performing Financing (NPF) has a significant negative effect on the performance of Islamic banks.Theoretical contribution/Originality: This study utilized Stakeholders theory, Maqoshid Sharia concept, and corporate governance to investigate the role of Islamic corporate governance mechanisms and risk management on sharia Banks performance.Practitioner/Policy implication: The implication of this study is that SSB activities had a direct and robust influence on Islamic Banks, which have relatively larger assets. Hence, the task of the Sharia Supervisory Board should not be limited to only monitoring the conformity of transactions with sharia but also providing input so that banks can increase their profits in line with sharia.Research limitation/Implication: The limitation in this study is the number of corporate governance variables that was limited.

The Relationship

Purpose This paper aims to explore how the presence of an audit committee is associated with other corporate governance mechanisms, i.e. board structure, ownership structure and quality of external audit. The present study evaluated whether the presence of the audit committee complements or substitutes other governance mechanisms in Palestinian companies. Moreover, the effect of investment opportunities on the relationship between the formation of the audit committee and the quality of the auditor was addressed. Design/methodology/approach The association between the formation of the audit committee and other governance variables was modelled as a binary logistic model. The sample comprising 44 firms listed on Palestine exchange for the period between 2013 and 2017, amounting to 220 firm-year observations. Findings Based on the investigation, the results have indicated that board independence, the distinction between the chairman and chief executive officer function, ownership concentration and audit quality enhance the chance of audit committee formation, implying complementary effect. Contrastingly, board size and board ownership serve as a substitute to audit committee formation. It has also been found that investment opportunities act as an effective moderating factor that strengthens the relationship between audit quality and the formation of the audit committee. Originality/value The study provides valuable insight into the interaction between multiple corporate governance mechanisms within the economy of Palestine where the external uncertainty is high and investment opportunities are constrained by the decisions of the occupying authority. The findings may help regulators and policymakers in Palestine alongside those of other countries with similar environmental features to revise and update their corporate governance codes to ensure that the best control can be achieved, subsequently attracting more foreign and domestic investments.
