This study attempts to examine the effect of audit quality on firm performance. It uses financial statements of non-financial firms listed as EGX 100. The population studied consists of thirty non-financial firms. The study covers a five year period 2010-2014. It applies panel data analysis. Independent Variables are Auditor Experience (measured by Big-4) and Auditor Independence (measured by auditor Rotation ROT). Dependent Variables are Return on Assets ROA and Return on Equity ROE. In accordance with the Random Effect Model results, BIG 4 and ROT have an insignificant impact on the ROA and ROE of the firm. External and internal financial statement users may benefit from the study only when dealing with high-profit firms.

This article seeks to examine the relationship between the board size and firm performance. Existing literature on board size is based on different theories of corporate governance. While agency theory and resource dependency theory suggest that the board size positively affects performance, stewardship theory favours smaller board size and argues that larger board size negatively impacts the firm performance. The present article adds to the empirical literature by employing panel data analysis of 145 non-financial companies listed in the NSE CNX 200 Index of India corresponding to 16 industries. The study is carried out for a period of five years from 2008 to 2012. The firm performance has been measured using Tobin’s Q and the market-to-book value ratio (MBVR) as market-based measures and return on assets (ROA) and return on capital employed (ROCE) as accounting-based measures. The fixed effect model, random effect model and feasible generalised least square (FGLS) regression models are applied to achieve the above-mentioned objectives. The results conclude that the board size has a positive and significant impact on the firm performance.

Prior research findings on the effect of financial reporting and audit quality on firm performance were mixed. The current study therefore, sought to examine the impact of audit quality and FRS practices of firms on their financial success. Samples firms listed on Malaysian stock market were selected from the construction sector for the period of 2010 to 2013. Data was collected from the published annual reports and notes to the financial statements.

Firm’s engagement with established audit firm is used as a proxy for audit quality, and return on assets is used as a measure of firm performance. Panel data analysis was employed in analysing the data and testing the stated hypotheses. The use of panel data reveals that practices of FRS by firms is significantly and positively related to their financial performance. The results also indicate that audit quality has a significant positive impact on business financial success.

This research aims to investigate the impact of ESG performance on firm performance and market value. Total samples used are 271 listed companies (1355 firm-years observations) in five years period (2013-2017), which consisted of four ASEAN countries (Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand). This study is analyzed using multiple regression analyses with the random-effect model and descriptive statistic. The independent variable is ESG Score; the dependent variables are three performance indicators (Return on Assets, Return on Equity, and Tobin’s Q) and Price-Earnings ratio; the control variables are firm size, firm's age, financial leverage, and industry. This research contributes to broadening the scope of the literature review regardings ESG performance by analyzing it on developing countries and also by using rarely used dependent variables, market value. The finding in this research is there is no significant influence from ESG Score to Firm Performance and Market Value because ESG Score is not yet a part of firm performance measurement. This research is limited in conducting lag effect research with the lag period of only one year, and also the number of companies that already have ESG scores is limited.

Various studies evaluate the impact of budget on government revenue at sub national levels. There are few empirical findings that show how central government budget may influence federal revenue collected by ministries. This study aims to investigate the budget impact of non tax revenue across Indonesian line ministries/agencies in the 2012-2017 period prior to the implementation of Act 9 Year 2018 concerning Non Tax Revenue. By using purposive sampling method, we found there were 24 government institutions observed in this study. We conducted granger causality and panel data analysis by adopting random effect model to examine the effect of goods and services expenditure, capital expenditure, and employee expenditure on non-tax revenue. It is concluded that only government spending on goods and services significantly affects on non-tax revenue performance, while the two other variables have no impacts.

This study aims to determine the relationship of Intellectual Capital Disclosures (ICD), audit committee characteristics (size, gender, education, expertise), and audit quality toward the performance of the company measured through Non-Discretionary Net Income (NDNI) and Cash Flow Operation (CFO). This study is conducted on service listed companies in the Indonesia Stock Exchange (Service Industry) from 2010 to 2016 by panel data regression method analyzed using random effect model. The results of this study indicate that components in ICD have no significant impact on firm performance. Some components in the audit committees are found to have significant positive relationship towards financial performance. The empirical results suggest that ICD serve as a tool in aiding firm performance. A corporation should practice ICD extensively to enjoy the impact on the firm performance and value. Most research studies the relationship between intellectual capital disclosures and board diversity toward firm performance individually. The interaction of intellectual capital disclosures and audit committee characteristics is analyzed and studied to see whether audit committee characteristics is a factor that can help and improve the effectiveness of firm performance. Audit quality is also being analyzed and being taken into consideration as a variable. This is the first study to find the relationship towards the firm performance using NDNI and CFO as the dependent variables

The data in this study is panel data, namely cross-section of 33 provinces, and time series of 4 years, namely the period 2012 - 2015. After the Chow test and Hausman test, as well as the lagrange multiplier test, the analysis model in this study was determined to be the random effect model, which is a common analysis model in panel data analysis. This study concludes that partially negative economic spending on poverty, meaning that sector spending can reduce poverty in the era of fiscal decentralization in Indonesia. In this analysis, it was found that the ability of the independent variable in explaining the dependent variable was 0.190165 units or 19.02%, and the remaining 80.98% was explained by other variables not included in this study.
