Informational Value

This study examines the informational value of intellectual capital on Tunisian financial markets, which appears as a highly topical issue, especially with the broadening notion of the intellectual capital and its increasing role in investment decisions. Using content analysis of annual reports of 50 companies listed on the Tunisian Stock Exchange selected for the period 2006–2009, we developed a weighted disclosure index based on the users’ needs and expectations in order to estimate the relationship between intellectual capital disclosures and value creation.The results show that the intellectual capital information is positively and significantly correlated with the firm creation value. Reporting on intellectual capital allows resolving uncertainty about the firm, thereby improving an increase in value. This finding confirms the pivotal role of intellectual capital in the valuation of firms listed on the Tunisian Stock Exchange.

Systematic Framework

The important role of intellectual capital for value creation has led many companies to disclose their intellectual capital information in annual reports. This study aims to provide, via content analysis, an overview of the disclosure and presentation of intellectual capital information in the annual reports of cable companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2015. This study found that structural capital is the most common category of intellectual capital disclosed in the annual reports. In addition, most intellectual capital disclosures are discursive, with positive and past-oriented information. However, there is no systematic framework for disclosing intellectual capital information in annual reports. Disclosures made do not have a special pattern and are still random. This finding may contribute to an understanding of how companies communicate intellectual capital information for their own benefit, as well as the benefit of stakeholders, customers and employees.

Purpose The present study aims to investigate the relationship between intellectual capital and the readability of financial statements with the mediating role of management characteristics of companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange. In other words, this research tries to find the answer to whether intellectual capital can positively affect the readability of financial statements. Design/methodology/approach A multivariate regression model was used to test the hypotheses for this purpose. The research hypotheses were tested using a sample of 1,309 observations listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange from 2012 to 2018 and a multiple regression model based on panel data and fixed-effects models. Findings The results indicate that intellectual capital has a positive and significant relationship with the readability of financial statements, which means that with increasing intellectual capital in companies, financial statements’ readability also increases. Based on the hypothesis test results, it has been determined that narcissism, accrual and real earnings management have a negative effect on the relationship between intellectual capital and the readability of financial statements. Originality/value Since the present study examines such an issue in emerging markets, it provides users, analysts and legal entities with useful information about management’s inherent and acquired characteristics that significantly impact the purchase of audit opinion. This study’s results also contribute to developing science and knowledge in this field and close the literature gap.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between the intellectual capital (IC) information reported in the annual reports and market value of the companies listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange. Design/methodology/approach The study is based on a panel data collected from the annual reports and Bloomberg database for six years, specifically the periods 2010-2012 and 2016-2018. The total sample consists of 252 observations. The theoretical framework was developed in reference to the resource-based theory. The regression model is based on Ohlson’s model, which has been modified by including IC information. Findings The study found that there is a significant relationship between IC information and firm market value. This finding indicates that companies report their IC to help the stakeholders (e.g. shareholders, investors) to understand the real value of the company (which includes IC values). Practical implications The shift to a knowledge-based economy (KBE) has made knowledge a driver for economic growth, and it has become more important than capital, land and labour. This shift makes IC and resources vital for companies to create wealth, value and gain competitive advantage. The State of Qatar plans to transform its economy to a KBE in its “Qatar Vision 2030”. The findings of the study show that the companies have started to depend more on IC to contribute to transforming Qatar’s economy to a KBE. Originality/value This study could be considered a pioneer study to examine the association of IC disclosure and firm value in Qatar. Furthermore, prior literature has mixed findings, which justifies further investigation of IC’s effect on market value, particularly in the emerging economy of Qatar.

This chapter examines disclosure practices of intellectual capital in the Sri Lankan context. The chapter provides an empirical analysis to showcase the relationship between intellectual capital reporting and the management perception. The three capital components identified in the intellectual capital are human capital, organizational capital, and social capital. Those capitals give a considerable contribution on the wealth of the organization and the main problem is the subjectivity and complexity of the disclosure practices of the listed companies in Colombo Stock Exchange from 2013 – 2016. This study is based on the intellectual capital disclosure practices published in annual reports for the period of 3 years. The managerial perception and company characteristics were linked with the intellectual capital disclosure practices. The study found no common procedure for disclosure among the annual reports while the details of intellectual capital disclosures vary considerably from one annual report to another.

The Relationship

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to analyse the relationship between financial statement informativeness (FSI) and intellectual capital disclosure (ICD). Design/methodology/approach – While FSI was measured as the explanatory power of financial information in explaining market value, ICD was collected through content analysis of annual reports. A sample of 126 US companies, divided into two groups – high-tech and low-tech companies – were used in this study. Empirical analysis was carried out using the Poisson regression method. Findings – The results show a negative (substitutive) relationship between FSI and ICD, especially in high-tech companies. This indicates that companies with low FSI disclose more information about their IC in annual reports. Practical implications – This study confirms the role of voluntary ICD as a solution towards mitigating the problem of the distortion of financial information due to the lack of accounting recognition of IC as an asset in the financial statements. Originality/value – This is the first empirical study to analyse the relationship between FSI and ICD. Therefore, it serves as feedback to the regulators and standard-setters that recently published recommendations on voluntarily disclosing IC.

This study examines the relationship of firm characteristics and audit committeesize with Timeliness of Financial Reporting (TIML) among retailer trade companies listed in Indonesian Stock Exchange. This study focuses on three variables of firm characteristics (i.e., firm size, profitability, and leverage) and one variable of corporate governance (i.e., audit committee size). A quantitative method of analysis, secondary data from annual reports for the period of 2012 to 2016, and purposive sampling, was adopted. The results revealed that both profitability and leverage are negatively associated with TIML, yet no significant association was found regarding the firm size and audit committee size with TIML. On the other hand, the results also revealed that firm size, profitability, leverage, and audit committee size could enhance TIML since those variables are found to be simultaneously associated with TIML.Keywords: Timeliness, Financial Reporting, Reporting Lag

The Relationship

This study examined the relationship between audit delay after IFRS adoption and the role of shareholders in the audit committee as well as testing the difference of pre-and post IFRS adoption periods. A sample of 101 firms with 505 firm-year observations over five year period for firms listed on the Nigeria Stock Exchange was employed for the study, utilizing data from the annual report and accounts of the sample firms. Generalized Methods of Moment (GMM) estimation was used to check the effects of unobserved heterogeneity in audit delay model, while the test of difference in R2 value for pre-and post-adoption periods was determined using Cramer’s Z-statistics. Findings indicate that audit report lag is faster with shareholders in the audit committee. The study proved that brand named auditors such as Big4 can significantly perform faster audit task than non-Big4 firms in IFRS regime. The importance of the study’s findings demonstrates statistical inference on value relevance increase based on the unique IFRS adoption in Nigeria. Thus, regulators should consider increasing the tenure of shareholders in the audit committee to enable them to become more familiar with the corporate reporting under IFRS regime.
