ERP systems are expected to provide many benefits, including improved business efficiency. However, they are also blamed for several business problems and failures. Past studies have analyzed investments in ERP systems based on net income, return on investment, new present value or change in market value of a firm. We argue that an analysis of more direct measures—intangible or tangible—would enhance confidence in the efficacy of ERP systems. We investigate the impact of ERP systems implementation on operational efficiency of medium sized firms in the pharmaceutical and chemicals industry. Our analysis of the data indicates that for a majority of the firms improvement of operational performance expected due to ERP systems did not materialize.

This study dealt with the effect of foreign direct investment on the market value of the company during the period of time (2010-2017). This issue was studied through a sample of oil fields in southern Iraq in which the company operates within the first and second licensing contracts rounds and according to the circumstances and variables of the investment environment as it is. Although this investment often achieves high returns, it is also characterized by a high degree of risk and for the purpose of evaluating the impact of foreign direct investment on the market value of the company's stock prices for the period (2010-2017). The statistical scale (T-TEST) was used to indicate the significance of the correlation hypotheses. Between the return on investment as the independent variable and the market value as the dependent variable, and the use of the coefficient of determination (R2) that measures the effect of the independent variable (foreign direct investment) on the dependent variable (market value) and the F-Test to demonstrate acceptance or rejection of the hypothesis of the return on investing in the market value of the oil company, and if the company achieves a high return in foreign direct investment, the market value of it will be affected positively. The study was based on a set of goals, including determining the attractiveness of Iraq to foreign investments, especially the oil sector, and the study reached a number of conclusions, the most prominent of which is the existence of a strong inverse correlation between the return on investment and the market value of the company. And the existence of a slight impact of the return on investment on the market value of the company, and the study reached a number of recommendations, the most important of which is activating the investment climate through political stability and the clarity and stability of laws and legislation regulating investment, which is one of the most important factors affecting the investment decision.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to provide a conceptual framework that helps to investigate how the internal audit function (IAF) responds to both the introduction of the control logic of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, and corporate governance’s (CG) institutional pressures. Furthermore, the paper aims to articulate the concurrence between the external pressures of CG and internal control logic of ERP systems. Design/methodology/approach – The paper presents a review of the normative literature pertaining to the increase in significance of CG in the light of the worldwide economic crisis. The paper highlights a literature gap related to the lack of studies focusing on the impact of ERP systems implementation on the IAF practices. Findings – The authors articulate institutional theory to formulate a conceptual framework that explains the reciprocal interplay between the macro external governance pressures, micro internal institutional logics inscribed in the ERP systems and their effect on IAF practices and structure within organisations. Research limitations/implications – The paper is conceptual in nature and therefore the proposed framework will be subsequently validated using a qualitative research approach in future research. Practical implications – The conceptual framework would offer the internal auditors some strategies for enabling adaptation to the different internal and external pressures. Also the paper provides a platform for research community to investigate the influence of CG and ERP systems implementation on IAF adaptation. Originality/value – The paper provides a clearer articulation of the various constructs that affect the IAF, which has gained great attention for assuring good CG.

Cash dividend is a dividend that cash payment to shareholders in accordance with the percentage of its shares. Net income is the excess of all revenues for all costs for a given period after deducting the income tax presented in the form of income statement. Net income and cash dividends have a relationship, if net income has increased it can be predicted that the dividend also increases, and conversely the decline of dividend received indicates the condition of the company is not good. Growth of the Company (growth) is the ability of the company to increase the size of asset increase existence, equity, profit and sales. To measure how large the company is growing within a certain period of time. Growth of companies and cash dividends have a relationship in which the company in the growth phase requires very much funding, because a company is pleased to use the company's profit from the use of outside party loans, because of the interest burden and date of time that has been agreed together. Thus the growth of the company affects the cash dividend. Return on investment or ROI is the return on investment that is calculated based on the distribution of revenue generated by the size of the invested capital. Return on Investment (ROI) and cash dividends have a relationship where the greater the ROI shows the company's performance is getting better, because the return of the investment is greater.The research aims to determine the development of net profit, growth of the company and Return on Investment (ROI) on cash dividends and to determine the impact of net profit, company growth and Return on Investment (ROI) on dividends of the food and beverage sub-sectors listed on the Indonesian stock exchange both simultaneously and partially. Locus Research is a sub-sector of food and beverage listed on the Indonesian Stock exchange from 2012-2018 period. Sampling is carried out using purposive sampling with the number of samples used as many as 5 companies in the food and beverage sub-sectors listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange period 2012-2018. The secondary data source in this study took over from Indonesia Stock Exchange. The research methods used in this study are quantitative approaches. Data analysis techniques use multiple linear regression analyses and classical assumptions. Based on the results of net income, company growth and ROI are influential and significant to the cash dividend simultaneously whereas net profit and company growth are influential and significant to the cash dividend partially and ROI does not affectcash dividends partially.

The value relevance of non-financial reporting is a topic of interest in the academic literature, the results of empirical research being often contradictory. In this context, the research objective is analysing the extent to which the disclosure of non-financial information related to sustainable development in the contents of sustainability reports published by companies listed on the regulated market of the Bucharest Stock Exchange (BSE) is influencing their market value. To conduct the analysis, the present study involves the application of multiple linear regression models developed based on the Ohlson (1995) model for a sample of 34 companies listed on BSE between 2015-2019, forming a number of 166 firm-year observations. The research methodology is based on the association between the firm market value and its equity book value, as well as its net income and other relevant information. Therefore, the value relevance is investigated through their impact on the market value. The findings emphasise an increase in relevance in terms of the influence exerted on the market value of capital as a result of reporting on sustainability issues. Moreover, the study highlights an increase in the impact of equity book value and net income on firms’ market value in the period after the adoption of Directive 2014/95/EUD (2017-2019), compared to the previous period (2015-2016). This research complements the literature in the field of sustainability reporting and value relevance, providing empirical evidence on the importance of publishing nonfinancial information in relation to their market value impact.

AbstractThe results of the analysis of profitability and impact of thinning on wood production in Järvselja Training and Experimental Forest Centre are presented in the article. The profitability was assessed on the basis of harvesting income and costs of logging operations in 2015–2017. The impact of thinning on the wood production was assessed using the MOTTI simulation program. Three different scenarios for the management of the stand were compared: 1) stand management in accordance with the Finnish forest management recommendations (Tapio recommendations), 2) management according to the Estonian Forest Management Regulations and 3) stand development without thinning. The results revealed that 61 thinnings out of the 70 were profitable. The average net income from thinning was 344 euros per hectare. Fuel wood accounted for 45% and pulpwood for 30% of the harvested timber. Net present value was applied as a criterion to assess the profitability of long-term management scenarios. Considering Tapio's recommendations, the total net present value was 33% higher and following Estonian forest management rules, it was 23% higher compared to the simulations without thinning. The results indicated that thinning is economically viable in the long run. In simulations without thinning, timber production is the highest, but the net present value of management is lower compared to simulations with thinning.
