THE PRACTICE AND DRIVERS OF CSR DISCLOSURE AMONG THE BLUE-CHIP COMPANIES IN NORTH MACEDONIA

Non-financial reporting is becoming an increasingly common topic of discussion and is a matter of time before it is regularly implemented around the world. Stakeholders want to see how companies contribute to the common good and what social activities they undertake, so although in the Macedonian practice Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) disclosure is not mandatory, there is a growing intention to publicly disclose information about social activities. CSR is extremely important for businesses and other stakeholders, and it requires businesses to develop a corporate strategy that balances environmental, social, and ethical concerns. Through this type of activities, companies manage to increase their influence in society, to leave a good impression but also to contribute to the improvement of society and place of living, which is a win-win situation for everyone. The paper aims to examine the level of CSR reporting in domestic practice, through research conducted on the blue-chip companies listed on the Macedonian Stock Exchange. We analyzed the financial and annual reports and official websites of the joint stock companies that were part of the MBI10 index in the period from 2016 to 2020. First, a theoretical review of the CSR is presented, followed by a literature review on the CSR’s indicators and the state of the CSR in the Macedonian practice. Our findings from the conducted content analysis and linear regression show that larger and more profitable companies show a greater propensity for social responsibility and display more information about their undertaken social related activities.

Founders without Limits

Big Tech has flourished on the US public markets in recent years with numerous blue-chip IPOs, from Google and Facebook, to new kids on the block such as Snap, Zoom, and Airbnb. A key trend is the burgeoning use of dual-class stock. Dual-class stock enables founders to divest of equity and generate finance for growth through an IPO, without losing the control they desire to pursue their long-term, market-disrupting visions. Bobby Reddy scrutinises the global history of dual-class stock, evaluates the conceptual and empirical evidence on dual-class stock, and assesses the approach of the London Stock Exchange and ongoing UK regulatory reforms to dual-class stock. A policy roadmap is presented that optimally supports the adoption of dual-class stock while still protecting against its potential abuses, which will more effectively attract high-growth, innovative companies to the UK equity markets, boost the economy, and unleash the true potential of 'founders without limits'.

Can the Audit Opinion Influence the Portfolio Investment Decisions? The Case of Listed companies

As a part of their strategic transactions, corporations often acquire stakes in other companies that do not grant them control, but allow them to use their resources to increase their profitability, access technological progress and innovation, develop products, or obtain dividends. The main objective of this paper is to identify the factors influencing the behavior of acquirers who buy securities in the capital of the target companies, listed on Bucharest Stock Exchange, without intending to control them. The study aims to describe two dimensions of the buyers' behavior, when they buy shares that do not lead to the control of the target companies (below 50%). The first dimension refers to the buyer's decision to invest in a certain share of capital, influenced by the profitability of the target company and its market capitalization (dimensions of their performance), but also by the audit opinion on the annual financial statements. The relationship is positive and significant. The second dimension focuses on the decision of the acquirers to invest or not in a blue-chip company (top companies, considered the most efficient and stable on the financial market), with the main purpose of obtaining dividends or trading the respective securities on the capital market, in order to generate cash flows. The result shows that investors buy small shares in blue chip companies, compared to other companies, taking into account their performance and the audit opinion on the annual financial statements.

MANDATORY JOINT AUDIT AND AUDIT QUALITY IN THE CONTEXT OF THE EUROPEAN BLUE CHIPS

This study investigates audit quality under joint and single audit regimes with a sample of large European firms. Both, the economic relevance of these companies, and the fact that the impact of joint audit on audit quality should be stronger when the audited company is a blue-chip firm motivate the study. If mandatory joint audit were positively associated with audit quality, French firms, under mandatory joint audit since 1966, should present higher audit quality compared to their European peers. The results do not indicate this to be the case. Specifically, similar levels of discretionary accruals are observed for French and other European firms. Furthermore, for the first time in the literature, evidence is reported indicating that French firms may even present lower audit quality than their European peers, when audit quality is measured by the likelihood of just beating earnings benchmarks. These results are expected to inform the ongoing debate in several countries about joint audits.
