Objective: This study analyzes the relationship between good corporate governance practices (access to information, content of published information and management structure) and the performance (measured by the profitability of the plans) of the Closed Entities of Complementary Pension Funds (Entidades Fechadas de Previdência Complementar - EFPC).Method: The sample comprises 76 EFPCs ranked among the 89 publicly funded entities and the data were collected in the Annual Information Reports (Relatórios Anuais de Informação), statutes and information on the entities' websites and in the statistical statement published by the Brazilian Association of Closed Pension Funds for the year 2017. In order to test the research hypothesis, the Multiple Linear Regression method performed with the support of STATA® software.Originality/Relevance: The relevance of EFPC is highlighted, a sector that has been growing in Brazil, mainly with the pension reform in the public and private sectors.Results: The study's evidence does not support the acceptance of the established hypotheses, which foresee a positive and significant relationship between governance practices and profitability, considering as practices the access and content of information and the structure of governance bodies. It is conjectured that the level of information disclosure and / or the governance practices analyzed may have influenced the findings.Theoretical/methodological contributions: Although the proposed relationships did not indicate statistical significance, the survey highlights the importance of good corporate governance practices in EFPC in order to achieve better results and fulfill obligations to stakeholders.

The Impact

We do not find any consistent evidence that the presence of the largest Brazilian pension funds as relevant shareholders is associated to higher corporate governance scores by public Brazilian companies. Even though companies with institutional investors as relevant shareholders presented a higher average corporate governance score than other companies, they were also larger and had greater past profitability than other companies, which are common attributes of firms with better corporate governance according to the literature. The impact of Brazilian institutional investors on the corporate governance quality of their investees is either negligible or cannot be captured by the proxies we employed. Finally, we note that these two pension funds may represent the policy and political views of the incumbent Brazilian government and that the actions of their board appointees may or not reflect what is understood as good corporate governance practices.

The Empirical Analysis

Information disclosure on best practices should have positive effects on entrepreneurial performance. This paper attempts to study the deep cultural change occurring in firms. To achieve this, we analyze the effect of adopting good corporate governance practices on management. Thus, the objective of this research is to test whether significant differences in entrepreneurial efficiency exist between two groups of firms. One of these groups quotes on Dow Jones Global Index (DJGI) and has adopted good corporate governance practices. The other group is formed of firms which do not quoted on stock exchange and do not apply best practices. We selected a sample of 100 firms for the period 1998-2004 and analyzed some economical financial indicators usually used to measure entrepreneurial efficiency. We confirm the effect that the adoption of these practices has on economic-financial indicators. The empirical analysis supports the conclusion that differences in efficiency exist between firms that belong to the DJGI and disclose information concerning best practices and firms that do not quote on stock exchange and do not disclose this kind of information. We then study the sign of these differences and draw conclusions

Governance Practice

The concept of good corporate governance has gaining traction over the last three decades in the private and public sectors as a response to serious financial scandals and maladministration practices in organisations around the globe. Antidotes provided in previous studies on these corporate failures attributed this to poor board compositions and inadequate separation of power. Whilst this was part of the problem, little effort was put to understand how Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) term limits could also contribute to good governance practice which would make organisations avoid scandals. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to explore how capping CEOs tenure could enhance good corporate governance in the public and private sectors. This paper is based on a qualitative approach and used content analysis to review data from published records like journal articles. This article posited that capped term limit in both the public and private sectors is ideal as it enhances good corporate governance practice which in turn will make institutions effective and responsive to changes in their operating environment.

PurposeThis paper explores how the tension between a firm's CEO overconfidence feature and externally observable hubris attribute may determine the level of corporate sustainability performance. This work also contemplates the impact of the moderator “corporate governance practices.”Design/methodology/approachThis study uses a sample of 658 firm-year-observations using a sample of European real estate firms indexed on Stoxx Europe 600 Index from 2006 to 2019. To test the developed hypotheses, feasible generalized least square (FGLS) regression is applied.FindingsFindings suggest that a good corporate governance score strengthens the positive effect of the psychological bias (CEO overconfidence) on corporate sustainability performance while it fails to attenuate the negative effect of the cognitive bias (CEO hubris).Research limitations/implicationsThe research provides an overview of the impact of CEO personality traits on the corporate sustainability performance level in the European real estate sup-sector. As corporate governance can have a major impact to control these traits, the authors recommend European real estate companies to improve their corporate governance practices.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the existent literature this gap with two empirical novelties: (1) providing a novel insight into sustainability involvement using a sample of European real estate sup-sector and (2) investigating the moderating effect on the link between CEO psychological and cognitive biases and sustainability performance. This study provides empirical evidence that entrenchment problems arising from CEO hubris would not be mitigated by a good corporate governance practice.

Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar comparativamente o desempenho contábil-financeiro de empresas com boas práticas de governança corporativa e outras sem esta característica, através da aplicação da Análise Envoltória de Dados (DEA) às informações do setor de distribuição de energia elétrica no Brasil no período de 2005-2007. Para tanto, utiliza-se de informações sobre lucratividade, margem de lucro, giro do ativo, liquidez, endividamento e imobilização obtidas na base Melhores e Maiores da Exame-FIPECAFI. Em linhas gerais, a comparação entre o desempenho médio destes dois grupos, utilizando o teste não paramétrico de Mann-Whitney, ao nível de significância de 5 %, mostra que para o ano de 2005 e para o desempenho médio no período de análise pode-se concluir que as empresas com boas práticas de governança corporativa têm desempenho contábil-financeiro estatisticamente superior. Porém, em relação a 2006 e 2007 o desempenho dos dois grupos é estatisticamente igual ao nível de 5 %. Isso suporta apenas parcialmente as indicações de superioridade de desempenho apresentadas na literatura de governança corporativa.

Purpose: Studies report that the adoption of good corporate governance practices tends to improve firm value. However, the results of such adoption seem to be conditioned by specific institutional and legal characteristics of each country. This study aims to analyze compliance with good corporate governance practices in the context of publicly traded companies in the Brazilian market. Methodology: The sample is made up of 1336 annual observations of 167 companies listed on the B3 (Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão) in the period 2010-2017. The practices recommended by the main corporate governance codes in Brazil were used as benchmark. Tests for the difference in means (t-test) and in proportions (z-test) were used to compare the observed situation in the group of firms and the recommendations in the Brazilian market. Results: Despite the adoption of many of the best practices recommended, there is still space for advancement in the Brazilian firm corporate governance. The results indicate noncompliance of the Brazilian firm with the recommendations regarding the audit committee and fiscal council, which may particularly weaken transparency and control of firm’s internal activities. In addition, adherence to distinguished market segments is associated to a greater trend to observe the suggestions emanating from the codes, which may be due to the perception of a favorable cost-benefit ratio of the adoption of corporate governance practices. Contributions of the Study: The work provides additional contribution by presenting a detailed analysis of the current scenario of the Brazilian firm corporate governance captured from the evaluation of the degree of adoption of each practice recommended individually.

Objective: To promote a discussion on the benefits and challenges of the process of implementing mechanisms and good corporate governance practices in a multifamily company. Method: the case was based on real problems of a privately held multifamily organization and fictitious narratives were developed for its construction. Originality/relevance: Multifamily companies potentialize the existence of conflicts between the main ones due to the plurality of partners regarding corporate management and control. In this teaching case, some of these dilemmas were presented and how corporate governance could avoid, mitigate or remedy them in order to find adequate alignment between family members. Results: Conflicts of interest and information asymmetries indicated the need for new solutions for business continuity. Among these solutions, there was the possibility of implementing mechanisms and good corporate governance practices. Theoretical/methodological contributions: It is expected that the student develops an understanding of the need to consider inherent gains and losses in decision making and the particularities of the organization, such as shareholder composition, maturity of the organization and protection of capital and property.
