This study aims to examine the effect of tax avoidance, corporate social responsibility disclosures, and risk disclosures on investment efficiency. This study also examines the role of corporate governance in the association between tax avoidance, corporate social responsibility disclosures, risk disclosures, and investment efficiency. This study uses multiple linear regression with panel data. The sample uses 43 manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesian Securities Exchange from 2014 up to 2017 so that the total sample in this study amounted to 172 firm-years. The result suggests that tax avoidance is negatively associated with investment efficiency. However, corporate social responsibility disclosures and risk disclosures do not affect investment efficiency. Furthermore, another result suggests that corporate governance failed to moderate the effect of tax avoidance on investment efficiency. Besides, corporate governance can weaken the negative influence of corporate social responsibility disclosures on investment efficiency as well as corporate governance drives the negative effect of risk disclosures on investment efficiency.

The Relationship

This article aims at identifying the relationship between corporate governance (CG) and corporate social responsibility expenditure (CSRE) for the Bangladeshi banking sector. CG has been considered as the single independent variable divided into three components: board size (BS), gender diversity (GD) and board members’ interrelationship (BMI), and CSRE has been considered as the dependent variable. Further, a single moderator—firm value (FV) as been employed in order to test the moderating influence. Annual reports from 2015 to 2019 (5 years) of 35 banking firms have been used as samples. The study utilized Pearson’s correlation coefficient in order to test the direct relationships and regression analysis to test the moderating effects. The analysis has revealed that BS and GD are positively associated with CSRE while BMI has a negative association with CSRE. Furthermore, has been revealed that FV can moderate all the direct relationships. The study is expected to aid researchers in further empirical investigation over this important issue and guide policymakers to obtain more representative outcomes to make constructive decisions regarding CG and CSRE that would, in turn, increase FV.

Role Of The Government

Water companies have attracted minimal attention in the corporate social responsibility literature. This chapter examines conceptual issues regarding the applicability and relevance of CSR principles in a public service industry. It aims to bridge the gap that exists between the CSR and water service discourses by offering some initial ideas on the CSR issues of particular relevance to this industry, with emphasis on developing countries. We suggest re-examination of relationships with poor communities, a different understanding of the role of the government, and the adoption of industry-wide, as opposed to company-specific, social responsibility schemes.
