Performance Reports

ABSTRACT Companies listed on China's Shenzhen Stock Exchange Small and Medium Enterprise Board are required to release preliminary performance reports before the end of February if they cannot file annual reports by that time. Although this mandate might improve the timeliness of information, we find that such preliminary releases are inaccurate and optimistic, potentially misleading investors. Sixteen percent of preliminary reports contain significant inaccuracies (i.e., when actual numbers deviate from preliminary ones by at least 10 percent). Firms in earlier stages of the auditing process, as well as those with low-quality preliminary reports in prior years, poorer performance, greater accounting complexity, and fewer resources, are more likely to issue low-quality preliminary performance reports. Market reaction tests indicate that investors consider preliminary releases to be informative and generally cannot differentiate between high-quality and low-quality preliminary releases. Moreover, when annual reports are filed, investors are surprised by the differences between the annual reports and the preliminary reports. Thus, our paper demonstrates that mandatory disclosure requirements may have unintended negative consequences.

Internal Transfer

We investigate the chief audit executive’s (CAE) internal audit supervisory role by examining the change in internal audit monitoring effectiveness following the turnover of CAEs. Using a sample of firms listed on the small and medium enterprise board of China’s stock exchange, we find that CAE turnover is accompanied by a reduction in financial reporting/internal control quality and that the reduction is more pronounced for firms whose successor CAEs have lower financial expertise than their predecessors. Further analysis shows that the negative association with financial reporting/internal control quality is stronger when the turnover is for personal reasons than when it is for internal transfer of the CAE. These findings are robust to a battery of sensitivity checks, including placebo tests and matching diagnostics. Our results highlight the importance of the CAE for a firm’s internal audit functions.

Compliance Level

This study sets out to offer proof of several important questions relating to the quality of information disclosed on goodwill impairment process under the new requirements of FRS 36. This study investigates the compliance level and disclosure quality of FRS 36 by top 20 of Singaporean listed firms in SGX at 2007 based on their market capitalization. In order to achieve the objective of this study, the weight- ed index is chosen because this index is able to differentiate the quality and impor- tance of each mandatory disclosure under FRS 36. The weighted index was developed by constructing a disclosure scoring sheet, obtaining annual reports of 20 sampled Singapore firms for particular year, complet- ing scoring sheet for each firms by assigned weighted for the disclosure items and calculating disclosure weighted index. The weighted index was analyzed to examine the firm’s compliance with the FRS 36 disclosure requirements. The results of this study revealed that 18 out of 20 (90%) firms in Singapore failed to comply with the most basic elements of the FRS 36 pertaining to goodwill impairment testing espe- cially in allocating goodwill into the CGUs and key assumptions used in determin- ing the recoverable amount of CGU assets.

PurposeFamily ownership is very common for Jordanian businesses, leading to a high level of involvement of family members in company management. There continues to be intense discussion on the pros and cons of family ownership, particularly as it focuses corporate control within a small family group. The purpose of this paper is to examine the performance of family- and non-family-owned banks that appear on the Amman Stock Exchange over the 2016 to 2020 period.Design/methodology/approachThe research on Jordanian domestic banks is based on data from the annual reports of banks listed on their websites which offers comprehensive data on finances, ownership and the board. Family-owned and non-family banks were analysed using multiple regression technique to identify any variations in their performance.FindingsUsing a sample of 16 domestic banks with 75 bank-year observations over the 2016 to 2020 period, the study supports other research in finding that family ownership is negatively related to bank performance. This is true for accounting-based and market-based performance measures, including return on assets (ROA), return on equity (ROE) and Tobin's Q test results. Additionally, analysis identifies greater negative consequences for performance within family-owned banks by board of directors.Originality/valueThis paper extends previous research on family businesses by investigating the impact of family ownership on the financial performance in the Jordanian bank sector. This research determined that devaluation is a consequence of higher levels of ownership concentration for domestic banks in Jordan.

Regression results using 659 Shanghai listed company observations in 1996 and 1997 show that the positive market reaction to increase in earnings is stronger for firms audited by high quality auditors. A broad conclusion of the study is that audit quality is playing an important role in China and that investors in the Shanghai market differentiate between high quality versus low quality auditors.
