Liquidity Crises

The objective of the study is to show the remedial effect of bank liquidity risk in the marketplace by disseminating financial information and practicing corporate governance mechanisms. The link between financial disclosure, corporate governance, and banks' liquidity risk management in Bangladesh is examined in this paper. The study used panel data on 32 commercial banks from the 2008 to 2018 with 346 observations collected from published annual reports. Based on the preliminary diagnosis, the study chose the two-stage least squares (2SLS) regression method to minimize the errors arising from heteroskedasticity, autocorrelation, and endogeneity issues. The study found that adequate financial disclosure and corporate governance practices minimize bank liquidity risk to maintain a stable image in the minds of investors and withstand immense regulatory pressure. To allow banks to detect issues early, they must implement changes quickly and be more robust to crises, thus risk management efficacy and excellent corporate governance implementation are required. Moreover, banks are mainly concerned about liquidity risk as it directly affects the market's performance and stability. Liquidity crises can be eradicated by proper monitoring and providing information pertaining to risks to prudent investors in a reliable and transparent corporate culture.

Risk Management Committee

This study examines the extent of information about hedging activities disclosures within the annual reports of Main Market companies listed on Bursa Malaysia. The extent of hedging activities disclosures is captured through a 32-item-template, which consists of a mandatory and voluntary disclosure scores. The results of this study indicate that the extent of information on hedging activities disclosure is still insufficient among the sampled companies even though the disclosure scored is quite high. This study also examines the relationship between the existence of risk management committee (RMC), its characteristics and the extent of information on hedging activities disclosure in two separate statistical models. The regression results imply that the existence of RMC is positive but does not significantly influence the extent of information on hedging activities disclosure. However its characteristics (i.e. RMC independence and RMC meeting) have a significant influence. The findings may provide some meaningful insights to regulators, policymakers and researchers, towards the establishment of RMC as a part of the internal corporate governance mechanisms. In addition to its existence, the effectiveness of RMC also needs to be emphasised.

The Relationship

The purpose of this research is to examine the relationship between corporate governance and risk management of Indonesian banks. Bank risk managements are measured by market risk, credit risk, and liquidity risk. The samples used in this study were all banks registered in Indonesia during the 2010–2016 period. The data sources were obtained from the annual reports and bank financial reports. The results show that corporate governance implementation in Indonesia was able to affect credit risk and liquidity risk. There were differences in credit risk and liquidity risk in banks with different governance ratings, but not at market risk.

The Relationship

The paper attempts to examine the relationship between six (6) Corporate Governance mechanisms (namely board matters, nomination matters, audit matters, remuneration matters, communication matters and risk management matters) of Shari’ah Compliant Companies (ShCC) with Islamic Corporate Social Responsibility (i-CSR) disclosure. The i-CSR disclosure index was developed by incorporated the five values of Maqasid Shari’ah and Maslahah. While, this study employed the corporate governance index based on the Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance (MCCG) 2007 (Securities Commission, 2007b), MCCG 2012 (Securities Commission, 2012), Corporate Governance Guide issued by Bursa Malaysia (Bursa Malaysia, 2012), and MCCG Index 2011 from the Minority Shareholder Watchdog Group (MSWG, 2011); Omar & Abdul Rahman, (2009) and Mohammed et al. (2009).  The research used content analysis and a sample of 187 ShCC annual reports from 2008 to 2013. STATA was used to assess the relationship between CG mechanisms and i-CSR disclosure in this analysis. The result of the relationship between CG mechanisms and i-CSR disclosure after statistically control by firm size (proxy by total assets) and profitability (proxy by return on assets, net profit margin and return on equity) showed that only remuneration matters (RM), communication matters (CM) and risk management matters (RK) positive and significantly influenced the i-CSR disclosure.

This study examined the influence of an entity's corporate governance practices on independent external auditor quality, proxied with auditor industry specialization, in Nigeria. The explanatory research design was adopted. Data were sourced from annual reports and accounts of thirty-five (35) quoted non-financial firms for 11 years from 2008 to 2018. After that, panel regression analyses were employed as the estimating technique for the model specified. The empirical results revealed that independent external audit quality is positively influenced by the firm's size but negatively influenced by board Independence and the proportion of female directors on board. Overall, aggregate explanatory variables adopted in this study accounted for 50% changes in external audit quality. Though these findings largely negate previous ones, they contribute to the extant literature and provide further directions for a future attempt at researching within emerging territories.

Over Time

Since the 20th century, corporate governance mechanisms have been developed globally to curb the negative effects of the agency problem. South Africa was a pioneer with the publication of the first King Report on corporate governance in 1994. Given the paucity of research on corporate governance in the country, the researchers set out to investigate the corporate governance practices of 230 companies listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange over the period 2002 to 2010. Annual corporate governance scores were compiled by means of content analysis of the sample companies’ annual reports. The empirical findings revealed an increasing compliance trend towards 2010. Although the sample companies tended to improve the disclosure of their corporate governance practices over time, their practices were not per se acceptable (where acceptability implies meeting the King II recommendations). Inexperienced directors and managers might benefit from more training to enhance their understanding of the application of corporate governance principles.

This paper examines the informational content and the usefulness of financial groups' liquidity risk public financial disclosure. This theme is of interest since the factors that influence the level of liquidity risk are complex, and they strongly interact with other originating factors from related financial risks. These characteristics have made it more difficult for financial services industry regulators and private sector ERM experts to recommend a practical and well defined framework for the management and subsequent public disclosure of liquidity risk financial information. The results of the study are based on an in-depth content analysis of the Annual reports (2004) published by twenty-one of Western Europe's largest financial groups using the liquidity risk management factors proposed by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and its Joint Forum (2003, 2006). The results of the study revealed a disparity between commercial banks from the same or different European countries as to the level and extent of liquidity risk public financial disclosure. The same was also found for the description of the risk management structures and the accompanying explanatory comments on liquidity risk management practices. In addition, the study documented the overall scarcity of quantitative data which supports qualitative discussions on liquidity risk management. There were also areas of more complete financial disclosure that apply to factors explaining the origins of cash flows, and the explanations and discussion about foreign exchange risk management.

This paper investigates the effect of corporate governance practices on the extent of voluntary disclosure in France. Using a panel of 206 non-financial French listed firms during the period 20062009, we find evidence that voluntary disclosure in annual reports increases with managerial ownership, board and audit committee independence, board meeting frequency, and external audit quality. We also find that frequency of audit committee meetings and diligence of board and auditing are associated with decreased disclosure. Additional findings show that larger, more profitable, and less indebted firms have greater voluntary disclosure.

Corporate Governance (CG) refers to a system in which corporations are directed and controlled. The governance structure specifies the distribution of rights and responsibilities among different participants in the corporation and specifies the rules and procedures for making decisions in corporates. Governance provides the structure through which corporations set and pursue their objectives, while reflecting the context of the social, regulatory and market environment. Governance is a mechanism for monitoring the actions, policies and decisions of corporations. Governance involves the alignment of interests among the stakeholders. CG is an umbrella term. In its narrower sense, it describes the formal system of accountability of corporate directors to the owners of companies. In its broader sense, the concept includes the entire network of formal and informal relationships involving the corporate sector and the consequences of these relationships on society in general. The center objective of the paper is to create linkages between firm performance and governance practice in the listed SOEs in India. The present paper makes an attempt to compare the various CG variables of the listed SOEs for a period of five years ie 2012-13 to 2016-17. A detailed analysis of the 42 listed State Owned Enterprises (SOEs) in terms of board size, board meetings, board committees, board composition, independent directors, firm age, gender diversity has been compared. Finally conclusions are drawn from empirical analysis.

Forward Looking

Purpose – This paper aims to witness the importance of corporate governance mechanisms and investigates the relationship between the quality of disclosure of forward-looking information in the narrative sections of annual reports and the governance mechanisms for non-financial UK companies. Design/methodology/approach – Computerized content analysis using QSR NVivo 8 is used to measure the extent of forward-looking information in the narratives of the annual reports for 238 companies listed in the London Stock Exchange. Cross-sectional regression analysis is used to examine the impact of the corporate governance mechanisms on forward-looking information. Findings – The results show that board size and the independence of the audit committee are associated with the level of voluntary disclosure of forward-looking information. Research limitations/implication – One limitation of this study is that in controls for the effect of the financial crisis period, by selecting a representative year for a five-year period, 2006. The authors argument in using this year is based on the fact that the main variables of interest do not vary significantly with time, the cross-sectional analysis of the selected period will provide a fair view of the last five year-period. Practical implications – The authors report the importance of some governance practices in the UK, such as the role of the board members as well as the importance of audit committee independence. Originality/value – This paper contributes to the literature by using computerized content analysis to examine the relation between corporate governance mechanism and disclosure quality of forward-looking information using sample of companies before financial crisis period. The authors also examine governance mechanisms that are under-researched in the field of forward-looking disclosure.

Sustainable Economic Growth

Corporate governance is a central issue in business and economics. However, governance in financial institutions is more complicated than in other fields because of the nature of financial services and instruments. Financial organizations are similar to other businesses in terms of their purposes of establishment, but confidence in management and complex risk structures are more important in financial organizations than in other businesses. In financial institutions, there are various areas in which problems arise that are related to corporate governance, including the agency problem and stakeholder protection. The importance of good governance for sound performance of financial institutions was reconfirmed during the 2008 financial crisis, raising the need to understand the agency problems and the efficiency of various corporate governance mechanisms in mitigating them. International organizations, such as the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, the Basel Committee, the International Finance Corporation, and the International Organization of Securities Commissions, have been working with regulators and policy makers to improve corporate governance practices both in nonfinancial and financial institutions. Corporate governance, especially in financial institutions, is essential in guaranteeing a sound financial system, capital markets, and sustainable economic growth. Governance weaknesses at financial institutions can result in the transmission of problems across the finance sector and the economy. Consequently, the effectiveness of governance mechanisms of financial institutions and capital markets after financial crises had significant importance in a period that witnessed an intensive discussion of corporate governance issues with new regulations and the related academic works.
