The study determined the effect of ownership structure on earnings quality of listed financial firms in Nigeria. The study employed secondary data. The study population comprised all the 16 listed financial firms on the Nigerian Stock Exchange. Purposive sampling technique was adopted to select top 10 banks whose shares are consistently traded on the stock market. Data for ownership structure and earnings quality were sourced from the audited financial statements of the selected firms and the Nigerian Stock Exchange Factbook over a period of 10 years (2009-2018). Collected data were analyzed using pooled ordinary least square, fixed effect and random effect estimation techniques. The result from the study showed that institutional ownership (t=4.3, p˂0.05) had a positive and statistically significant relationship with earnings quality while ownership concentration (t=- 2.5, p˂0.05) had a negative and significant relationship with earnings quality. The study recommended that the institutional ownership which shows a positive relationship with earnings quality enables improved earnings of the sampled listed banks. More institutional participation should be allowed in the Nigerian listed banks as it was proved that they have the power to monitor the affairs of managers as this will have a positive impact on earnings. Concentration ownership gives mangers incentives to manage earnings to achieve short term opportunistic interest; therefore it should not be encouraged.

This study aims to investigate the effect of excess cash on liquidity and firm value. The sample that is used is 211 non-financial firms listed in Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) with period from 2007 to 2017, resulting a total of 2321 firm-year observations. The regression model used are fixed effect and random effect model. The results show that excess cash increase trading continuity and decrease liquidity risk. This result can be caused by uninformed trader trading participation. Additionally, excess cash has a positive effect on firm value directly because with excess cash firm can invest. The study also finds that the effect of excess cash on illiquid firm value is negative, this result happened because excess cash can increase firm’s information asymmetry problem. Finally, we also find that excess cash has higher effect on small size firms with financial constraint problems and higher growth opportunities.

We observe the association amid ownership structure and real earnings management in Bangladesh. Our study takes 2195 firm-year observations which are listed on the Dhaka Stock Exchange over the period of 2000-2017. The outcome of the panel least square regression indicates that inside ownership, as well as foreign ownership, is inversely related to real earnings management, whereas institutional ownership is positively related to real earnings management. In particular, firms tend to reduce discretionary expenses to manage earnings if the magnitude of inside ownership is low. In contrast to that, when firms are characterized by more institutional ownership, they are more inclined towards real earnings management through additional price discounts, offering a more friendly credit facility, and lowering discretionary expense. This result is consistent with previous findings. Nevertheless, if firms encounter an absence of foreign ownership, they prefer to manage earnings through operating at over-production levels as well as lowering discretionary expenses. Additionally, we find that corporate governance is playing a beneficial role in limiting real earnings management


The objective of this study is to appraise the effect of the ownership structure on the quality of financial reporting in Nigeria. The study used data from 41 non-financial firms listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) for the 2011 to 2019 period. The Generalised Method of Moments (GMM) technique was adopted for the study which is vigorous to the threat of heteroskedasticity and endogeneity. The study findings revealed that institutional and foreign ownership has a significant negative relationship with earnings management, thereby, improving the reporting quality. However, the results show that managerial ownership has an insignificant negative relationship with earnings management. The finding of this study is also robust in scope concerning the issue of unobserved heterogeneity which prior studies have failed to address. Thus, future corporate governance reforms should recognize and sustain these efforts. The study recommends that Firms should expand their institutional and foreign ownership by providing sufficient shares to them. This is important because they frequently deploy their professionalism and wealth of experience to the firms towards meeting corporate goals and agitation of good reporting practice. On the other hand, Firms should ensure that the shareholding of the insider managers is not too high in such a way that the proportion of their shareholding should be minimal. Their shares should not exceed 10% of the total shareholding in the company as it was found to be among the variables that reduce firms' performance.
