The challenging issues in corporate governance and company performance were explored in the international conference that took place in Lisbon on October 26th, 2017, entitled “Corporate governance and company performance: Exploring the challenging issues” (the joint organization was composed by ISEG Lisbon, publishing house “Virtus Interpress”, ADVANCE/CSG Research Center and Virtus Global Center for Corporate Governance). The main purpose of the conference was to provide the platform at international level for academics to analyse recent trends and upcoming challenges in corporate governance and company performance, major challenges and new horizons in further research. Keynote speakers addressed valuable suggestions and examples of how researchers focused on the board of directors can learn from research approaches of behavioural scientists regarding individual and group behaviour. Scholars participated in the conference concluded that insights from various disciplines should be combined for performing more precise and accurate research on corporate boards. Moreover, scholars identified main challenges currently facing the boards, namely the exponential rise in the number of risks and the difficulties of developing relevant strategies. A relevant discussion was raised concerning as to whether discretionary accruals fit methodological needs of researchers focused on corporate governance and on the financial information disclosed. In the line with recent practices in corporate governance in Europe, scholars suggested that female directors were associated with fewer income-increasing discretionary accruals.

Sustainability Report

This study examines the effect of good corporate governance and sustainability report on company performance. Good corporate governance is dependent on the size of the board of directors, the proportion of independent commissioners, the size of the audit committee, institutional ownership, management ownership. Sustainability report is facilitated by economic, environmental and social aspect as well as disclosure index. While Company performance is generated by Return on Assets (ROA). This research was conducted on companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange between 2014-2018. The purposive sampling technique was used. Hypothesis testing was done by linear regression analysis. The results of testing the first variable showed that institutional ownership affects ROA and has a negative relationship direction. While the size of the board of directors, the proportion of independent directors, the size of the audit committee, and management ownership have no effect on ROA. However, the result of the second variable showed that the disclosure of economic aspects affects ROA and has a positive relationship direction. While disclosure of environmental and social aspects does not affect ROA.

This paper aims to investigate the extent to which board of directors’ mechanism is implemented in Libyan listed companies. This includes a consideration of composition, duties and responsibilities of the board directors. This study employed a questionnaire survey to collect required data from four key stakeholder groups: Boards of Directors (BD), Executive Managers (EM), Regulators and External Auditors (RE) and Other Stakeholders (OS). The results of this study provided evidence that Libyan listed companies generally comply with the Libyan Corporate Governance Code (LCGC) requirements regarding the board composition: the findings assert that most boards have between three and eleven members, the majority of whom are non-executives and at least two or one-third of whom (whichever is greater) are independent. Moreover, the results indicate that general assemblies in Libyan listed companies are practically committed to the LCGC’s requirements regarding the appointment of board members and their length of tenure. The findings provide evidence that boards in Libyan listed companies are carrying out their duties and responsibilities in accordance with internal regulations and laws, as well as the stipulations of the LCGC (2007). Furthermore, the stakeholder groups were broadly satisfied that board members are devoting sufficient time and effort to discharge these duties and responsibilities properly. This study helps to enrich our understanding and knowledge of the current practice of corporate boards as a significant mechanism of corporate governance (CG) by being the first to address the board of directors’ mechanism in Libyan listed companies.

The Board Of Directors

Purpose By looking at both theoretical and empirical findings, this study aims to investigate whether gender diversity results in improved corporate governance and financial performance for companies. Design/methodology/approach An analysis of the board composition of the Johannesburg Securities Exchange Top 40 companies as at 30 June 2013 and a comparison of the financial performance of the company were conducted. Findings Female directors were found to make up, on average, 18.78 per cent of the board of directors, with the majority of these women being in non-executive positions. Women representation appears to influence company performance positively when using accounting-based measures of performance (such as return on assets and return on equity), but negatively when using market-based measures (such as Tobin’s Q). The critical mass concept is also assessed and is found to have a positive effect. Originality/value These findings are of relevance to the boards of directors adhering to corporate governance requirements by challenging the role of women on the board of directors, as well as that of investors and those in practice, to understand the current status of women representation.

Corporate Governance Mechanism

Corporate Governance is a system that regulates and controls a company which expected to give and increase Company Value to investors. With the existence of Corporate Governance, it is expected that Company Performance will give a good influence on the company. One of the cases is after Indonesia went through a prolonged crisis since 1998, the repairing process in the companies took a long time and it is caused by the weakness of Corporate Governance application in the companies, which will affect the companies’ performance and decrease the companies’ values. The purpose of this research is to analyze the effects of the Corporate Governance mechanism on Company Value with Company Performance as an intervening variable. The case study used in this research is the companies included in IDX BUMN 20 Tahun 2020 list. The result of this study is that Independent Commissioner doesn’t affect values and Company Performance, the board of directors affects Company Value positively, the board of directors doesn’t affect Company Performance. The Audit Committee doesn’t affect the Company Value. The Audit Committee affects the Company Performance positively. The Company Performance is not capable to mediate the independent commissioner’s effect on Company Value. The Company Performance can mediate the effect of the Board of Directors on the Company Value, the Company Performance can’t mediate the effect of Audit Committee on the Company Value.

The Relationship

This research aims to investigate the relationship and impact between the board of directors criteria towards the company's performance. We hypothesized that the board of the directors criteria will increase the firm performance since board of the directors are viewed as one of the corporate governance mechanism that should be effective in monitoring and advice the management to protect the interest of shareholders. In this study, analysis of panel data has been used. The company's performance was measured by Return on Assets (ROA) and Tobin's Q. Using 159 listed firms in Trading and Services Sector from 2007 to 2013, our study exhibit that the size of the board of directors (BODSIZE) had significant and positive relationship on ROA and Tobin's Q. This shows when BODSIZE increases, the performance of the company will also increase. Next, CEO duality and independent board of directors (PERBODIND) had no significant relationship with ROA and Tobin's Q. Overall, good corporate governance is important to improve the company’s performance. The implication of this study is that it may affect various parties and include investors, financial institutions, academia, corporations, and governments in making judgments, decisions or improvements to corporate governance and company performance.

The aim of this paper is to examine the relationship between strong governance structure and the information content of discretionary accruals in countries, which present differences in their legal system (USA and France). To approach the concept of corporate governance this recovers several dimensions: the board of directors, its committees, and ownership structure we used the method of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). The findings indicate that the association between stock return and discretionary accruals is greater for firms having a good corporate governance structure independently of the context of study. Further, discretionary accruals of firms having good corporate governance have a greater association with future profitability future only for American context.

This research reviews the role of corporate governance regarding transactions with related parties and company performance. 85 companies admitted into the TSE were studies during a six months period between 2008 and 2013. Transaction with related parties is a usual trait of commercial activities. For example, some businesses conduct their activities via subsidiary businesses, particular partnerships and related businesses. Transactions with related parties can affect financial situation, financial performance and flexibility of the business. In this research the ratio of non-executive members of the board of directors to total members, membership or non membership of the managing director in the board, size of board and shares of institutional owners have been used as corporate governance variables. Finally, Eviews and Excel software and multi variable regression were used to test the research hypothesis. Results indicate a significant correlation between transactions with related parties and returns on assets. Results also showed that by importing corporate governance variables into the model, explanatory power of model increases and negative effect of transactions with related parties on performance reduces.
