Voluntary Administration: Patterns Of Corporate Decline, James Routledge, David Morrison Dec 2008

Voluntary Administration: Patterns Of Corporate Decline, James Routledge, David Morrison

James Routledge

Australian companies in financial distress prefer to select the option of voluntary administration (VA) offered by Pt 5.3A of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). A board’s choice to enter a company into a VA is premised upon the idea that it is preferable to take early action when the business is facing solvency difficulty. Such early action allows for the possibility of rescuing the business. This article examines whether directors cause businesses to trade in extenuating financial circumstances for too long a period before entering the company into a VA thereby shortening the chances of a successful business rescue.

Innate And Discretionary Accruals Quality And Corporate Governance, Pamela Kent, James Routledge, Jenny Stewart Dec 2008

Innate And Discretionary Accruals Quality And Corporate Governance, Pamela Kent, James Routledge, Jenny Stewart

James Routledge

This paper extends previous research on the association between corporate governance mechanisms and accruals quality. We derive measures of the discretionary and innate components of accruals quality and regress them against corporate governance characteristics. For discretionary accruals, we find use of a Big 4 audit firm and a larger audit committee as the primary governance mechanisms associated with higher accruals quality. For innate accruals quality, we find that higher quality is associated with an independent board of directors, a larger, more independent and more active audit committee, and use of a Big 4 audit firm. Our findings suggest a stronger …

Takeover Exposure, Agency, And The Choice Between Private And Public Debt, Matteo Arena, John Howe Dec 2008

Takeover Exposure, Agency, And The Choice Between Private And Public Debt, Matteo Arena, John Howe

Matteo P. Arena

We examine how governance characteristics are related to the corporate choice between public and private debt. We find that firms with fewer takeover defenses and larger outside blockholder ownership are more likely to borrow from banks and to issue 144A debt. We also document that public debt cost is more sensitive to takeover exposure than bank debt cost. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that banks mitigate the expected negative effect of takeovers on debt value through covenants and debt renegotiations. Moreover, we show that firms with weaker internal monitoring are less likely to borrow from banks.
