In recent decades, related party transactions (RPTs) have played a prime role in major corporate scandals, obliging regulators to strengthen the rules with new bans and expensive requirements on companies. This study aims to contribute to the literature on RPTs, providing evidence to justify increasingly expensive and mandatory regulation. Results show that the intensity of related party revenues increases where a company has lost profitability as well as turnover.

This study aims to examine the effect of related party transactions (RPTs) on banks’ performance and investigates political connections as moderator in their causal relationship. Our sample is 40 Indonesian banks listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange for the years 2013–2016 with 160 observations as panel data. Based on panel data regression test, our results demonstrate that account receivables-related RPTs have a positive effect on banks’ profitability and its market performance (Tobin’s Q), but there are consequences of high operating costs and the risk of non-performing loans. Banks receive more funds from their related parties (account payables-related RPTs), banks exhibit higher capital capability and lower market performance. Further, the political connection index in banks significantly affect banks’ capability, liquidity, efficiency, and market value through RPTs. This result indicates that political connection strengthens the effects of RPTs on banks’ performance. Although this study has limited information in determining political connections and has not considered macroeconomic conditions, these findings imply that political connection plays an important role in banks’ performance in Indonesia.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the effect of companies’ political connections (PCs) on their financial and stock performance, as well as on their market values. Design/methodology/approach A sample of non-financial companies listed on the Tunis Stock Exchange (TSE) between 2012 and 2014 was used. The accounting and financial data of these companies were obtained from their financial statements, whereas data on PCs of their officers and directors were collected manually from various sources. Correlation and multivariate regression analyses were performed to test the hypothesis of this research. Findings The results showed that PCs improve companies’ performance and value. These results could be explained, on the one hand, by the benefits and favors that companies can get from their political ties and, on the other hand, by investors’ tendency to invest in politically connected companies to benefit from these advantages. Research limitations/implications The limited number of non-financial companies listed on the TSE is a limit for this research. Practical implications The results show that investment in companies which are politically inter-connected may be beneficial for investors, and especially for small minority shareholders. Social implications The results confirm that political links are essential for business success in emerging economies, such as Tunisia. However, the positive link between politics and business might highlight the issue of corruption after the revolution. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study to examine the effect of PCs on the performance and value of Tunisian companies after the 2011 revolution.

This study aims to examine the effect of abnormal related party transactions (RPTs) on firm value and to investigate political connections as a moderator of the causal relationship. Our sample is 450 Indonesian firms listed at the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the period of 2014–2017 with a total of 1,724 firm-year observations. Based on the panel data regression test, our results demonstrate that abnormal RPTs, especially account receivables-related RPTs and account payables-related RPTs, decrease firm value. Further, the results empirically show that political connections negatively affect firm value. Political connections strengthen the effects of abnormal non-account receivable RPT assets and abnormal non-account payable RPT liabilities on firm value. Our findings imply that agency theory explains the impacts of political connections of Indonesian firms better than resource dependence theory.

Abstract This study aims to determine the effect of the fraud hexagon model, namely pressure (stimulus) which is proxied by financial targets and financial stability, capabilities that are proxied by changes in directors, opportunities proxied by ineffective monitoring, rationalization proxied by change in auditors, arrogance proxied by frequent number of CEO's picture, and collusion proxied by government projects, political connections and state-owned enterprises to fraudulent financial statements. The sample of this study is the food and beverage sub sector manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) in 2016-2019. This study uses secondary data, namely financial reports and annual reports. Based on the purposive sampling method, the number of companies sampled in this study was 18 companies from a total of 32 companies registered and analyzed by multiple linear regression analysis using the SPSS 25 program. The results of this study found that the elements of pressure that are proxied by financial targets and financial stability had a significant effect on fraudulent financial statements. Meanwhile, change of directors, ineffective monitoring, change in auditors, frequent number of CEO's pictures, government projects, political connections and state-owned enterprises have no significant effect on fraudulent financial statements in food and beverage sub sector manufacturing companies listed on the IDX in 2016- 2019. Keywords: Fraudulent Financial Statement, and Fraud Hexagon Model

Purpose This paper aims to investigate the association between political connections and the audit report lag and whether related party transactions moderate the association between the two. Design/methodology/approach An ordinary least square regression is estimated whereby audit report lag is regressed on political connections, related party transactions and the interaction between the two. Data on the number and amounts of RPTs are hand-collected from audited financial reports. A firm-year observation is politically connected if at least one large shareholder (controlling at least 10 per cent of the votes directly or indirectly) or board member or commissioner is a current or former Member of Parliament, a minister or head of local government or closely related to a politician or party. Findings Findings show that the audit report lag is relatively short for politically connected firms but increases when such firms conduct both operating and loan-type related party transactions. This suggests that auditors understand the incentives for, and the implications of, related party transactions and hence exert additional audit efforts in scrutinizing financial statements: activities that will increase the audit report lag. Originality/value Although a large body of empirical research exists on the determinants of audit report lag, none has examined the impact of political connections. This paper further contributes to the auditing literature by documenting auditors’ evaluation of related party transactions in a developing country.
