The goal of the current research is to identify whether or not the gender of Audit Committee members affects the timeliness of financial reporting. Unlike several studies which have focused on gender in the Board of Directors, the current study more specifically discusses gender in the Audit Committee in a country which adopts a Continental European System. This study employs panel data analysis for 370 observations of 185 Indonesian listed companies in the 2014-2015 period. This research reports that gender of the Audit Committee members is still debatable with regards to their role in improving the timeliness of financial reporting. Further, size, independence, expertise, and Audit Committee activities have an insignificant impact on the timeliness of financial reporting.

Using Continental European data on Indonesia, this research investigates the effect of Board of Commissioners involvement which is measured by responsibility, seniority, women participation and independency on shareholder’s wealth. This paper is the first research that examines the association between Board of Commissioners involvement and shareholder’s wealth based on 249 Indonesia listed companies. Panel data analysis was used to assess whether the Board of Commissioners responsibility and independency have positive effect on shareholder’s wealth. Based on the finding, seniority and women involvement have a negative relationship with shareholder’s wealth. These findings have practical implication, i.e. the shareholders should consider the Board of Commissioners involvement in appointing and dismissing them. Theoretically, these findings contributed to the agency theory in the way that the Board of Commissioners involvement could reduce the agency cost and increase the wealth of shareholders

Financial development could exert various effects on income distribution of a country. By employing Generalized Method of Moment, this paper aims at examining the impacts of credit market depth, one of most used financial development barometers, on income inequality in Vietnam. The empirical findings show that expanding credit market in the country could lead to higher income inequality. We have not found evidence that supports the hypothesis of an inverted U-shaped relation ever introduced by Greenwood and Jovanovich, although this hypothesis may still hold in a sense that Vietnam has not reached to the inflection point to generate such a curve alike.
