The Status

Over the past decade, dividend policy has become a fundamental element of the financial strategy of joint-stock companies, as it has a direct impact primarily on the corporate governance of the company. It can be considered that dividend payments are most often connected not with financial indicators, but with a significant improvement of the quality of corporate governance in the company, i.e. dividend payments are more likely an element of corporate governance. In essence, the high quality of corporate governance somewhat reduces the likelihood of making the wrong decision. To the qualitative indicators, showing the status of the company the quality corporate governance can be added for the assessment of the bankruptcy of economic entities. If the quality of corporate governance is considered as a new one, added to the composition of qualitative indicators, then in general a number of signs indicating the pre-bankrupt state of the economic entity and not reflected in the financial statements can be offered. Timely disclosure of information is accepted as the most important factor in improving corporate governance, which allows investors to reliably assess investment risks and compare practice with these results. Certain features are directly related to the structural elements of the company’s dividend policy, since contributing to the realization of the rights and interests of shareholders, the dividend policy occupies a major place in the corporate governance system of companies.

Purpose High ownership concentration makes controlling blockholders powerful enough to use private benefits of control and able to shape the corporate governance system to favor their own interests. This paper aims to examine the effect of the nature of the ultimate firm owner on the quality of corporate governance in Brazil. Design/methodology/approach Econometric models are estimated to assess whether the nature of the ultimate controlling shareholder affects the quality of the corporate governance system. Models are estimated using panel data methodology with coefficients estimated by the generalized method of moments system estimator. Findings The results show that the absence of a controlling shareholder has a positive effect on corporate governance, whereas the presence of a controlling blockholder, or a shareholder agreement among a few large shareholders, has a negative effect. This adverse effect holds when the controlling blockholder is a family or another firm. The findings are in line with the expropriation effect given that weaker corporate governance system facilitates controlling shareholders’ ability to extract private benefits of control. The findings also give support to the substitution effect as powerful blockholders take on the management monitoring function by weakening the board. Originality value Following important previous literature, the study investigates the effect of the nature of large controlling shareholders on the adoption of good corporate governance practices. The work provides additional evidence on the effect of the nature of large controlling shareholders on the quality of the corporate governance system in Brazil, taking into account the main kinds of controlling blockholders present in that market. The findings give support to both the expropriation and substitution hypotheses highlighting the presence of the principal-principal agency model in an important emerging market, Brazil.

The Capital Market

A quality corporate governance system is a basic prerequisite for a sustainable growth economy, more easily increasing the efficiency of the economic system and guaranteeing access to external sources of capital. The level of quality of corporate governance can be defined as the degree of fulfillment of set standards of corporate governance defined at the international and national institutional level. In the new, modern business conditions, with strong dynamic changes in the social and business environment, modern corporate companies, ie their management bodies, are taking on new characteristics, adapting to new requirements and challenges. In this sense, the new demanding business conditions require continuous improvement of corporate governance potential. Based on previous theoretical and empirical knowledge, Bosnia and Herzegovina has the characteristics of a closed corporate governance system in both entities, so, as a basis for developing models for measuring the level of corporate governance, selected models that measure corporate governance in countries with typical closed corporate governance systems. A significant number of studies show that corporations that achieve higher standards and better corporate governance practices also have better business performance results and thus greater value in the capital market. This means that corporations with a higher level of corporate governance also have better financial operating results, easier access to financial capital, and greater value in the capital market. The main purpose of the research is to determine the level of influence of the quality of corporate governance on business performance, ie to determine whether corporations that had good corporate governance had higher business liquidity and vice versa. The main goal of the research is to establish the link and relationship between quality and corporate performance management indicators of the corporation's business.

The Impact

The article presents the results of a study aimed at determining the nature of the influence of the quality of corporate governance on the dividend policy pursued by companies in the BRICS countries. This relationship is determined based on empirical research on a sample of 122 large public corporations of the BRICS countries (based on 610 observations) for the period from 2015 to 2019. The study uses Tobit, random effects, fixed effects, and OLS. The results of this study show that the quality of corporate governance significantly negatively correlates with dividend payments of companies. This means that companies in the BRICS countries adhere to the dividend substitution model (proposed by La Porta), or, in other words, compensate for the poor quality of corporate governance with high dividend payments. Taking into account the results of the study, in the final part of the article, the main methods of improving the quality of corporate governance are proposed, which can contribute to increasing the value of companies in the BRICS countries.

This paper describes the issues of financial reporting and corporate communication in connection with corporate governance. The analysis is based on the studies conducted in the Anglo-American and the European academic literature both from a normative and a positive perspective. It is discussed why accounting standards are not able by themselves to avoid corporate “miscommunication”, and how a good corporate governance system is a sine qua non to improve the quality of corporate communication and financial reporting. The analysis also shows how the effectiveness of the systems of financial reporting and corporate governance seems to be highly correlated.

Corporate Governance System

Starting from the research assumption that the Corporate Governance Code issued by Bucharest Stock Exchange (BSE) aims at building an internationally attractive capital market in Romania, based on best practices, transparency and trust that encourages companies to build a strong relationship with their shareholders and other stakeholders, communicate effectively and transparently and show openness towards all potential investors, in this paper we would like to present the degree of compliance of the companies listed on the Bucharest Stock Exchange with the principles and provisions of the Corporate Governance Code. The aim of this paper is achieved by presenting and commenting on the principles issued by the BSE regarding the corporate governance and by analysing the Corporate Governance Reports of the companies, presenting at the same time the compliance of the listed companies with these principles and provisions, by using the data issued in 2018 by the entities included in our study, namely the listed companies on the main market of the Bucharest Stock Exchange. Our analysis reflects that, although the provisions and principles of the Corporate Governance Code are not mandatory for the listed companies, they are largely implemented in the activity of companies because an efficient corporate governance system can represent a competitive advantage for any economic entity in the context of globalisation.
