The purpose of the study is firstly to use Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to aggregate the overall performance (technical efficiency) of firms to convert scarce resources into outputs that create wealth for shareholders, and secondly, to determine the degree to which this mentioned performance is reflected in a number of profitability and market value ratios. Annual financial statement data were used for 55 manufacturing companies listed on the JSE Limited over a five-year period in a cross-sectional analysis. The study found that return on equity has the most significant relationship with technical efficiency, followed by return on assets. The market value ratios price/earnings and dividend yield have no significant relationship with technical efficiency. The value of this study is that it is the first of its kind where technical efficiency, which aggregated operating, profitability and marketability efficiencies, is used to determine the relative importance of not only the readily available profitability ratios, but also market value ratios.

The Dow Jones Sustainability Index Chile (DJSI Chile) is made up of leading sustainability companies that are investing great effort into sustainable management. This study correlates the DJSI Chile with the financial indices (return on equity (ROE), return on assets (ROA), market value, earnings, and leverage) of companies that belong to the General Stock Price Index (IGPA) in Chile. The methodology used was quantitative, considering Chilean companies in the IGPA, including companies belonging to the DJSI Chile, applying a normality and correlation test based on the results. In conclusion, the study shows that in the results for the ROE, ROA, and leverage variables, there is no positive correlation with the DJSI Chile. However, the DJSI Chile is correlated with market value (for approximately 80% of the companies), and with earnings, there is a slightly higher correlation for the companies that belong to the DJSI Chile than for the remaining companies in the IGPA, thus if there exists a correlation between the DJSI Chile index and the variables market value and earnings, the index enables the prediction of those financial variables or predicts the finance indices (value market and earnings) of the companies that make up the DJSI Chile basing in the DJSI Chile index.

The analysis used to know how big the influence of ROA, ROE, ROI NPM to DPR company, writer do statistical analysis done by using descriptive analysis, doubled linear regression, correlation coefficient and coefficient of determination. While testing the hypothesis using F test for simultaneous test and t test partially, using SPSS 16. Based on the results of data processing, obtained regression equation Y = 31.225 + 1.209 X₁ - 0.106 X₂ + 0.505 X₃ - 0.708 X₄ + ε, analysis results Statistics simultaneously obtained the value of determination coefficient of 28.3%. While the rest equal to 71.7% influenced by other factors. Based on hypothesis test by using significant level α = 0,05 result of F test, show that together regression model can be used to explain the relation between Return on Asset, Return On Equity, Return On Investment and Net Profit Margin to Dividend Payout Ratio.

This research is focusing on evaluation of the impact of credit risk on the profitability of selected commercial banks listed on National Stock Exchange. The financial ratios are taken as a proxy to evaluate credit risk and bank’s profitability. Profitability was measured through Return on Equity and Return on Assets whereas credit risk was measured by Pre-Provision Profit to Total Loans and Advances, Loan to Asset Ratio, Capital Adequacy Ratio, Credit to Deposit Ratio and Advances over Loan Funds. Based on the financial information of 2009 to 2017, the study concludes that Credit risk, as calculated from Pre-Provision Profit to Total Loans and Advances, Loan to Asset Ratio, Capital Adequacy Ratio, Credit to Deposit Ratio and Advances over Loan Funds have a non-significant relationship with profitability measured by Return on Assets whereas there is significant relationship exist only between Advances over Loan Funds and profitability measured by Return on Equity. The regression model of ROE shows the model is significant as compared to ROA model. The present study employed Auto Correlation and Durbin-Watson statistics, Unit root test & Multi-Collinearity tests to measure the robustness of time series data. Also the results of the regression analysis show that there exist a negative correlation between credit upon deposit ratio and return on equity. As per the current study, the Indian banks has to keep check on advances upon total funds ratio, as it was found most significant factor impacting the profitability of Indian banks.

The arguments used thus far in the literature to justify disclosure regulation are that it increases global economic efficiency and that it redistributes wealth among investors. In this paper, we depart from this view and propose that disclosure regulation may also be used by national authorities as a protectionist mechanism to indirectly charge for access to national scarce resources and thereby extract economic rents from resources-needy entities. This increases national welfare, but is inefficient globally. We find empirical support for our proposition through a cross-sectional analysis of financial reporting standards of 62 countries. Results suggest that national objectives in implementing disclosure regulation represent a major obstacle for the global convergence of accounting standards and that disclosure regulation’s purpose may not be limited to solving the separation of ownership and control dilemma.
