The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of financial performance, financial risk, liquidity, and corporate governance (CG) on the corporate value in the period t0 and t+1. The proxy for financial performance, financial risk, liquidity, and corporate governance is respectively return on equity (ROE), debt to assets ratio (DAR), current ratio (CR), and corporate governance perception index (CGPI). The proxy for corporate value is price to book value (PBV). The method for analysis data is multiple linear regression analysis. The results show that financial performance has positive impact on the corporate value in the period t0 and t+1 on one percent level of significance. However, financial risk and liquidity have positive impact on the corporate value in the period t0 and t+1 but the impact is not statistically significant. CG shows different impact on the corporate value in the period t0 and t+1 in which it indicates negative impact in the period t0 but positive impact in the periode t+1. The impacts are however statistically insignificant. Generally, the results indicate that financial performance is the main factor that increases corporate value.

The average level of spending per activity was 2.2964 million baht. There were, on average, 2.1741 awards and 11.4178 activities during the studied period. Moreover, there was a significant negative impact of CSR spending, and a positive impact of CSR awards and activities, on corporate financial performance. Finally, there was a significantly different amount of CSR spending, awards, and activities between the companies with and without a CSR committee.

This study examines the impact of female directors on the financial performance of family and non-family Jordanian firms. A sample of 103 Jordanian public firms listed on Amman Stock Exchange for the time period 2009-2015 was selected. The study had a quantitative approach and used a panel data methodology. The data analysis was conducted using Ordinary Least Square Regression. ROA and Tobin’s Q were deployed as measurement of financial performance. The appointment of female directors does not have any significant impact on the financial performance of family firms. However, with regard to non-family firms, female directors appeared to have a negative impact on the performance of these firms. The impact of female directors on family firm performance merits further research in the context of different countries and cultures. Appointments based on qualifications and expertise is more likely to have a positive impact. Jordan is an under-researched area where the impact of female directors on the firm performance would merit further research. Differentiating between the impact of female directors on family and non-family firms would also merit further research, especially in the context of the conditions under which they are appointed.

This paper looks at the impact of level of working capital on a firm’s financial performance of 153 large manufacturing firms operating in the six Gulf Cooperation Council Countries (GCC).Three hypotheses being tested in the paper are that working capital levels and inventory levels have a negative impact on corporate financial performance, have a positive impact on corporate financial performance, or that there is no empirically provable relationship between working capital and inventory and financial performance. A number of control variables including firm size, gross margins, and age of the firm are used in the regression analysis, as financial performance is not purely dependent on working capital and inventory levels. Pre-tax return on assets (ROA-profit before tax divided by total assets) is used to measure corporate financial performance. Performance is strongly influenced by levels of accounts receivables; however inventory levels and payables have no impact on performance.
