This study aims to determine the effect of financial distress and regional independence on the probability of corruption in the local governments, Indonesia. This study used panel data of local governments in Indonesia in 2012 and 2013 with a total of 785 local governments. Data were analyzed using logistic regression analysis. The study results found that financial distress had no effect on the probability of corruption, while regional independence had a positive effect on the probability of corruption in the local governments, Indonesia. This means that if the regional independence is high then the probability of corruption in the local government is also high, vice versa. The study findings were also robust in a separated analysis, when additional test was carried out. This study found empirical evidence that the independence of funding sources, independence ratios to meet regional needs, and the amount of regional income could be used to detect corruption in local governments, Indonesia, while the budget solvency ratio, financial performance ratio of budget, financial performance ratio of fund equity and regional financial efficiency could not.

Purpose This study aims to analyse the following: first, the financial performance of General Insurance Re (GIC Re) using performance ratios (PRs); second, the uniformity of different financial performance indicators of GIC Re; third, the internal growth capacity of GIC Re; and finally, the likelihood of GIC Re going into financial distress. Design/methodology/approach As a sample, GIC Re, the lion shareholder in Indian Reinsurance Industry has been considered in the present study. All the necessary data have been extracted from the secondary sources over a time period of 16 years. The financial performance of GIC Re is assessed using five standard ratios, and the uniformity of different financial performance indicators of GIC Re has been examined using Kendall’s Coefficient of Concordance (W). To assess the internal growth capacity of GIC Re internal growth rate has been used, and the likelihood of GIC Re going into financial distress is analysed using multivariate discriminant approach, namely, modified Altman’s Z-score model and logit analysis technique, namely, Ohlson’s O-score model. Findings The results exhibit that financial performance of GIC Re is somewhat satisfactory over a few considerable areas. However, no notable degree of uniformity has been observed amongst the varied financial performance indicators, namely, performance ratio, expense ratio, return on assets, risk retention ratio and combined ratio of GIC Re. The results also reveal GIC Re is lacking ability of growing internally. Moreover, there remains a significant possibility of GIC Re going into financial distress in the near future and so. Originality/value This study is one of the first empirical research studies in India that examines the financial performance of GIC Re from different perspectives.
