International Accounting Standard 19 - Employee Benefits outlines the accounting requirements for employee benefits, including short-term benefits, post-employment benefits, other long-term benefits and termination benefits. The standard establishes the principle that the cost of providing employee benefits should be recognized in the period in which the benefit is earned by the employee, rather than when it is paid or payable, and outlines how each category of employee benefits is measured. Aim of the paper is to determine the degree of IAS 19 implementation in Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and its impact on financial performance of public enterprises. Since no significant negative impact of the implementation of IAS 19 on the financial performance has been proven, it could be recommended that the observed entities consider all its advantages and thus realize the potential benefits for both, the company and the employees.

This paper offers empirical proof of Bangladesh's theories of capital markets and analyses the effects of the failure to introduce a secondary capital market in relation to Bangladesh. The findings from the cross-sectional OLS regression demonstrate that both the static deal theory and the cost theory of the organisation are applicable to the capital structure of the Bangladesh Fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) companies. The lack of a secondary market will affect the costs of an entity because shareholders unable to decommission their shares may place pressure on management to behave in their best interests. We analyse in this paper, using a sample of 5 Bangladeshi FMCG companies for the period from 2014 to 2019, the determinants of Bangladesh's Debt to Total Asset. This study reveals that Bangladesh's listed Food and Allied company's average leverage ratio is close to that of other countries in the growth of the economy. The study also shows that the Company's Profitability is strongly and positively linked to the asset structure, Size, Profitability, growth and business risks. A firm's Size has a statistically significant negative impact on Debt to Total Asset.

Recent years have seen a surge in the use of automotive telematics. Telematics is the integration of telecommunications and informatics technologies. Using telematics in cars enables transmission of data communications between the car and other systems or devices. This opens up a wide range of possibilities, including the prospect of conducting remote diagnostics based on real-time access to the vehicle. Yet, as with any new technology, alongside its potential benefits, the use of automotive telematics could also have potential downsides. This Article explores the significant negative impact that the growing reliance on telematics systems could have on competition in the market for repair services. Our analysis highlights two main areas where the use of telematics for vehicle diagnostics may pose a threat to competition and consumer choice. First, we focus on the manner by which manufacturers communicate with their customers via the telematics system. Due to the special relationship between car manufacturers and their consumers, which is often based on trust and loyalty, alongside the “captive audience” status of drivers, we argue that communications emanating from the car’s telematics system could be deceptive. Second, we explore the negative impact that the shift away from on-board diagnostics to telematics could have on independent repair shops’ access to diagnostic information. Fortunately, the law can adapt to keep pace with these new technological and commercial developments. This Article articulates the combined multi-prong, multi-agency policy approach needed to maintain an effective right to repair cars in the new age of telematics. Among other things, our analysis supports an update of state consumer protection legislation and an increased policing by the Federal Trade Commission of practices employed by car manufacturers. In addition, we highlight the need to consider certain amendments to intellectual property laws that effectively aid car manufacturers in maintaining exclusive control over their telematics systems and diagnostic data.

The economic viability and success of a hotel depends on the optimisation of all resources, including Human Resources (HR). Absenteeism is an occurrence that can have a significant negative impact on optimising HR in South African hotels in the Gauteng Province. The objective of this study is to identify the factors that contribute to employee absenteeism, as well as describing the hotel employers’ perceptions of employee absenteeism. A quantitative research approach was followed in this study. A survey questionnaire was developed in order to collect data from 13 establishments, with a 3-star to 5-star grading, in the Gauteng Province. The findings reveal that absenteeism is mainly due to family responsibilities including childcare, other causes identified were strikes, fatigue, transport problem and genuine illness. It is evident from the findings that delivery of quality services can be affected negatively, due to abuse of sick leave and the cost associated with absenteeism. The results of this research project will contribute by creating an awareness of the negative impact that absenteeism has on the hotel and what employers could do to improve employee attendance.

This study examines the relationship between e-banking adoption and the financial performance of state-owned commercial banks in Bangladesh. The pooled ordinary least square (OLS) estimate was applied to analyze the panel data of the sample banks. The empirical findings reveal that e-banking adoption and implementation has a significant negative impact on banks' profitability in terms of return on assets, return on equity, and net interest margin in the year of adoption. However, the result also shows that e-banking has a significant positive impact on return on assets in the year following adoption.

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to examine the effect of carbon emission on accounting and market-based financial performance of Indian companies.Design/methodology/approachFirms reporting emission data on Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) are considered for empirical analysis and the data have been collected for the period from 2013 to 2019. The study adopts Heckman's regression model to control for self-selection bias and it also examines the moderating role of environmental sensitivity through industry-wise analysis. The results are also checked for potential endogeneity using generalized methods of moments estimation.FindingsPrimarily, the findings postulate a significant negative impact of carbon emissions on both measures of financial performance. Further, it also determines that environmentally sensitive firms are more exposed to such negative influence of emission compared to nonsensitive companies.Research limitations/implicationsCurrent research will enhance the understanding of managers about the economic impact of carbon emission, especially in an economy where emissions are not completely regulated. The study provides an economic rationale to the industries to reduce emission volume. It will also assist regulators to draft environmental policies by considering environmental sensitivity. It should be noted that the study is based on the Indian firms that have reported emission data on the CDP during the study period.Originality/valueThe present study addresses one of the most important but less explored issues of environmental research in one of the largest emerging economies of the South Asian region. The study presents a comprehensive view by covering accounting as well as market-based indicators along with the moderating effect of environmental sensitivity.

This study aims at examining the impact of accounting conservatism and voluntary disclosure on the cost of capital of industrial companies in Jordan during the period (2009-2013). Panel OLS regression analysis was employed to test the hypotheses of the study. The results of the full sample model revealed that accounting conservatism and voluntary disclosure have significant negative impacts on the firms’ cost of capital.Furthermore, the results of the sub-samples which distinguish between large and small, as well as between high and low leverage firms showed that the sub-sample of large and small firms conforms to the full sample results.  Across the sub-sample of high leverage firms, the results showed that only voluntary disclosure has a significant negative impact on the firm’s cost of capital. On the other hand, only accounting conservatism has a significant negative impact on the firm’s cost of capital across the sub-sample of low leverage firms.
