The Impact

This research empirically investigated the effect of environmental cost disclosure (ECD) and social cost disclosure (SCD) on financial performance (FP) mediated by earning management (EM). To achieve this purpose, a quantitative research method was employed using secondary data sources including reports of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and annual reports. Then, the data were examined using smart partial least squares (PLS). The research sample was represented by international energy corporations during the period (2016, 2017, and 2018). The study results revealed that the environmental and social costs disclosure significantly affected financial performance. This was in agreement with theories of instrumental stakeholders, legitimacy, and agency. This means that more cost on environmental and social information disclosure can generate greater opportunities for corporations.

The Impact

Purpose. The main cause of distress in the majority of Nigerian banks is poor corporate governance in the country. Corporate governance (CG) is a contemporary subject attracting the consideration of the corporate world, practitioners, consultants, academia and society at large. As a result, this study explores the financial performance (FP) of money deposit banks (MDBs) in Nigeria as a result of corporate governance put in. It went on to investigate the impact of board size and composition, as well as the audit committee, on bank financial performance. Methodology. A descriptive design method was adopted, while secondary data in the form of yearly financial reports of banks selected for the study were obtained and relevant documents via electronic search of databases. Descriptive statistics were used in analyzing the data and an econometric model of panel least square (PLS) regression test was employed for the study. Findings and Implication. The findings affirmed that the correlation between size of board of directors and bank performance was significant, however negative. The results of the study show that the board of directors (BOD) composition significantly influences the FP of MDBs. The study results further reveal that the correlation between size of the audit committee (AC) and FP of MDBs is significant and also a negative one. As a result, based on the empirical findings of the study, it is concluded that CG has a statistically significant influence on the FP of Nigeria’s listed money deposit banks. Mechanisms such as the large size and composition of the board as well as the size of the audit committee encourage a negative impact on the FP. In line with the foregoing, the study recommended that an effort be made to improve CG, in the sense that the number of directors on board should be kept to a desirable level, and that the ratio of executive directors to non-executive directors, as well as the size of the audit committee, is kept at an optimal level.

The Impact

In this study, we examine the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) on the financial performance of Nigerian listed deposit banks. We collected secondary data from the annual reports and accounts of 14 banks between 2010 and 2017. We employed the Tobin Q quantitative method for the analysis. We adopted the theoretical framework of pecking order theory since the analysis of the impact of FDI on the financial performance of these banks are both inward and outward FDI. The Tobin Q method was used as the dependent variable and FDI as an independent variable. Board size, firm size, equity capital and reinvested earnings were all financial performance indicators employed to test the impact of FDI on the financial performance of the banks on understudy in Nigeria. The result of the data analysis and findings showed that FDI had contributed positively to the development and performance of the deposit banks over the period under consideration. Our theoretical findings suggest a positive relationship between FDI and profit maximization. This support the FDI theory that banks or organisations are financed partly with debt-equity, both used by the banks to balance the cost and benefit financing decisions by the management. In the case of the empirical findings, the results of hypothesis testing show a significant effect on the banks’ financial performances. Given these results, we conclude that FDI has made a positive impact on the development and financial performances of the listed deposit banks under study which resulted in some of the banks’ growth from local banks in Nigeria into some of the leading international banks in Africa.

The Impact

The objective of this study is to explore the empirical structural links among intellectual capital (IC), innovation and firm’s financial performance, furthermore, the impact of IC and innovation on firm’s financial performance has also been measured. Value added intellectual coefficient model (VAIC) has been used for the measurement of IC. Innovation is measured through research and development (R&D), products development and products in pipeline, whereas, financial performance is measured through traditional financial measures such as return on assets (ROA), return on equity (ROE), earnings per share (EPS), assets turnover ratio (ATO) and market-to-book ratio (MB). The study was based on secondary data, and it has been collected from the published annual reports of listed pharmaceutical firms in London Stock Exchange. The research was carried for the three year period of 2012–2014 and our sample consists of 207 firm-year observations. Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) technique is used to address cause–effect relationships among endogenous and exogenous constructs. Empirical results of SEM analysis support that IC and its components have positive and significant impact on innovation and firms’ financial performance. Moreover, innovation also has significant impact on firms’ financial performance. The study is valuable for the manager, decision makers and policy makers to recognise the value of IC and its philosophy to obtain and sustain competitive advantage through innovation.

The Impact

The study examines the impact of company size, industry sensitivity, government ownership, liquidity and company age on Corporate Social Responsibility Disclosure (CSRD) in 2019 annual reports of listed companies on the Vietnam stock market. We also consider the relationship between CSRD and the financial performance measured by return on assets (ROA) and return on equity (ROE). This study uses descriptive statistics and regression methods to test research hypotheses. The empirical findings show that company characteristics, including firm size, liquidity, government ownership and environmental industry sensitivity, are positively associated with firms’ CSRD level. Firm age does not influence the CSRD of listed companies. The CSRD significantly affects both ROA and ROE. Our study provides several suggestions to promote the CSR information disclosure of listed companies and enhance their social responsibility for sustainable development.
