The objective of this work was to determine if there is a relationship between profitability and the participation of women in the Council of Administration (CA) in companies listed on the Mexican Stock Exchange (BMV). We worked with a sample of 37 companies with the participation of women in the CA and with 32 companies where there is no participation of women in the CA; indicators were calculated for profitability and financial leverage. The findings show that the performance of the companies with the participation of women in the CA is more often measured with the Return on Invested Capital, and that they have less financial leverage at these companies, thus proving women’s aversion to taking risks, a variable that is linked to profitability and which would also explain the lower yield shown by the other three indicators of profitability.

The purpose of this chapter is to analyze the effect that corporate governance measures have in external audit fees in two countries where this matter is not much developed: Portugal and Spain. The analysis includes a sample of 39 listed companies on the Portuguese Stock Exchange and 104 listed companies on the Spanish Stock Exchanges for the years 2013 to 2015 using an OLS regression model. For the Spanish sample, the results show that the capital hold by the Board of Directors influence negatively external audit fees. The results are in accordance with the supplier perspective which states that better corporate governance practices decrease the control risk and, consequently, audit fees. On the other hand, the Board of Directors' diligence also affected external audit fees but positively, that is, the greater the number of meetings the greater the demand for an audit with quality which result in higher fees charged (demand perspective). For the Portuguese sample it can be observed that corporate governance characteristics do not affect external audit fees.

The aim of the present study is to assess The Effect of Company Size on the Relationship between Corporate Governance and Corporate Performance in the Iraqi Stock Exchange. The statistical population under study is listed companies of  Iraq Stock Exchange and the number of companies studied in Iraq is 35, from 2015-2019. The results concluded that there is a statistically significant relationship between the change (increase) of institutional ownership and the performance of the company, and this relationship is direct, as well as the relationship between the change (increase) of institutional ownership and the performance of the company. It can change under the influence of the company's size, and this relationship is negative, meaning the larger the company's size, the weaker the relationship. At the same time, the existence of a relationship between changing the composition of the members of the Board of Directors and the performance of the company was not supported, as well as between changing (increasing) the independence of the Board of Directors and the performance of the company, in addition to the relationship between changing the composition of the Board of Directors. The independence of the Board of Directors and the performance of the company is not affected by the change in the size of the company

Research investigating the relationship between global diversification and financial leverage has produced mixed results. Some studies found that global diversification improves the firm’s debt capacity and, as a result, increases its degree of financial leverage. Other studies found that global diversification increases firm risk and, as a result, decreases its debt capacity and the degree of financial leverage. In this study, we suggest that monitoring by the board of directors and related committees moderates the relationship between global diversification and the degree of financial leverage. Specifically, in firms with vigilant (passive) monitoring, the relationship between global diversification and the degree of financial leverage is positive (negative). Using a sample of 6,188 firm-year observations over the period 2002 through 2006, we find support for the hypothesis.

The recent financial crisis highlighted the issue of Board of Directors compensation, which had been analyzed by many authors. In fact, there is a vast academic literature on the impact of the compensation of Board of Directors on corporations characterized by the separation of ownership from control. The compensation of Board of Directors has been a subject of debate, also by global regulators like OECD, FSB, Central Bank of Italy and European Commission and many are pushing for an international uniform regulation. This paper aims to investigate the relationship between the board of Directors compensation, the company performance and the risks decided by the Board. The article analyses a sample of Italian listed companies in order to test wether or not the Board of Directors compensation structure could turn into a performance incentive, given the risk taken.

This study aims to analyse the effect of management compensation, gender diversification, and executive preferences on tax avoidance practices in Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). Conceptually, this study uses mediating variables of executive gender diversification and executive preferences in the relationship between management compensation and tax avoidance. This study uses balanced panel data with a total of 404 observations from manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in the 2015-2018 period. The results showed a negative assessment of management compensation on tax avoidance. However, further examination revealed that management compensation will positively influence tax avoidance if compensation is given to the board of directors who have gender diversification characteristics in the composition of their members indicated by at least one female director on the board of directors. Lastly, the greater the management compensation given to executives who have risk taker characteristics will also make directors to do greater tax avoidance.

This study aims to analyze the effect of corporate governance on the relationship between board involvement in politics and earnings management in manufacturing companies on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. This study used 63 manufacturing companies which were selected using purposive sampling method. The data analysis method used is multiple regression which is processed through the help of the SPSS program. Based on the results of hypothesis testing, it was found that the board of commissioners involved in politics had a significant positive effect on earnings management. Meanwhile, the board of directors with political connections and corporate governance individually has a significant negative effect on earnings management. In the results of hypothesis testing, it is also found that the board of commissioners and the board of directors who have political connections have a significant effect on earnings management with corporate governance as a moderating variable in manufacturing companies on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The results of this study found that the implementation of corporate governance will have a different impact on the relationship between the board of commissioners and the board of directors on earnings management. In the relationship between the board of commissioners and earnings management, corporate governance is able to weaken earnings management activities. Meanwhile, in the relationship between the board of directors and earnings management, corporate governance can strengthen earnings management activities.

This study examines the relationship between the board of directors and firm performance in terms of the level of R&D investment in the French context and some corporate governance points of view. Our model seeks to show whether the level of investment in R&D acts as an intermediary variable between, on the one hand, the dominance of external directors, the double structure and size of the board of directors, and, on the other, productivity. This empirical study is based on a sample of 178 French firms for the period 2008-2012. The results of the linear regression show that the relationship between the variables associated with the composition of the board of directors and the effectiveness of the company depends on the level of investment of the company in R&D.

This paper looks at the insurance demand of a firm’s directors and officers using a sample of Canadian corporations (excluding firms from the financial services and mining sectors) from 1993-1999. More to the point, we study the demand for directors’ and officers’ insurance. Contrary to the financial distress theory of hedging, our results suggest that larger corporations are more likely to purchase D&O insurance. On the other hand, insurance is more likely when the firm is financially weak. Firms are also more likely to purchase D&O insurance when there are few outsiders on the board of directors and when the board members have an important financial stake in the corporation, suggesting that D&O insurance is yet another tool for managerial entrenchment. Surprisingly, being listed on a stock exchange in the United States does not seem to have an impact on the demand for D&O insurance, contrary to previous results
