Although Italy is characterized by a Rhine model of capitalism, with an underdeveloped stock exchange, previous studies on gender inequality have focused only on the analysis of the country’s few listed companies. Our study examines, instead, a larger sample of approximately 15,000 Italian limited companies, which include, in particular, unlisted companies. In the absence of estimates of these firms’ value on a stock market, the study measures performance based on financial statement data and ratios. No statistically significant correlations between performance and gender emerge. Therefore, if women have to “be better” to be treated “equally”, we can conclude that women do not seem to perform better than their male counterparts. However, women are not found to perform worse, either. Hence, we can also conclude that their underrepresentation can only be the result of sociocultural discrimination. We believe that this reversal of perspective should also be considered in future studies in search of overperformance to justify leading roles for women

The aim of this study would be to see how independence commissioners, internal auditors, and size of the company affect the financial statement reputation of companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange that produce basic industrial and chemical products (IDX). The findings revealed that having an impartial board of commissioners had a substantial positive impact on financial statement transparency, while having an audit committee and a large corporation had no significant impact. Based on the findings of data analysis research, the audit committee cannot boost the accuracy of the company's financial statements, according to this report. Meanwhile, one of the audit committee's responsibilities is to enhance the accuracy of the company's financial reports such that the details in the financial statements remains current and trustworthy. The internal auditors cannot improve the integrity of the company's financial statements based on the results of data analysis testing. In the meantime, one of the internal auditors tasks is to improve the accuracy of the company's financial reports so that the financial statements' details remain current and reliable. The audit committee cannot enhance the credibility of the company's financial statements based on the findings of data analysis research.

This chapter provides a clear conceptual discussion on the recent developments in the Financial Statement Analysis (FSA). It presents how IFRSs changed the outlook of the financial reporting and the analysis and explains the key points that should be considered in FSA. Using a case study on the financial reports of Turkcell, a communication and technology company listed both on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and the Borsa Istanbul (BIST), the differences between IFRSs and U.S. GAAP accounting standards in the measurement of overall financial performance and position are documented. Overall findings show that IFRSs change the appearance of financial statements significantly. While IFRS reporting extenuates “the bottom line” it accentuates total assets with higher shareholder equity compared to U.S. GAAP. This chapter might be a practical guide for users, preparers, and regulators to understand the cosmetic impact of IFRSs on financial statements.
