The discussion on corporate governance is focused on the duties of the board of commissioners (BOC). This is important, especially for countries that use the two-tier board model, such as Indonesia. This qualitative study aims to analyze the fulfillment of the number and composition of commissioners as well as the process of appointment and dismissal of commissioners in state-owned enterprises (BUMN) listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The results showed that BUMN had fulfilled the number and composition of commissioners. In addition, the existence of an audit committee and board of commissioner meetings is a component that plays an important …

Internal corporate governance is measured by board size, board independence, CEO power, gender diversity, state ownership and foreign ownership. The study controls the issues of endogeneity by applying a two-step generalized method of moments (GMM) econometric approach. The main findings of the study indicate …


Corporate Board Leadership And Earnings Informativeness, Chiyachantana N. Chiraphol, Siripen Pattanawihok, Pattarawan Prasarnphanich Oct 2021

Corporate Board Leadership And Earnings Informativeness, Chiyachantana N. Chiraphol, Siripen Pattanawihok, Pattarawan Prasarnphanich

Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business

This study examines the relationship between six board compositions and the informativeness of earnings. The results show that smaller board sizes are more informativeness of earnings. Longer board service time is viewed as the experience and expertise to manage the firms and increases informativeness of earnings. The average board tenure is positively significant with the informativeness of earnings. The accounting earnings generated from the firms with more independent directors and female directors are highly valued by the investors. Consequently, the accounting earnings generated from these firms are highly valuable to the investors.

Board Composition, Board Diversity And Stock Performance, Chiyachantana N. Chiraphol, Siripen Pattanawihok, Pattarawan Prrasarnphanich

Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business

The study investigates the relationship between six board compositions and stock returns. The results indicate a significant association between various board compositions and stock returns. Specifically, board size and executive directors have a negative impact, whereas independent directors enhance stock returns. Busy directors positively impact the abnormal stock returns for the companies in the non-financial industry, which implies that busy directors who serve on more boards tend to be well connected. More importantly, the results indicate a significant positive relationship between board tenure and stock returns. Board service time is perceived as the board quality of knowledge and experience from …

The Complexity Of Governance And Internal Audit Independence, Lily Bi Oct 2019

The Complexity Of Governance And Internal Audit Independence, Lily Bi

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Independence is a critical foundation of all internal audit functions and internal audit services. The Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) sets The International Standards for Professional Practice of Internal Auditing, which requires that internal audit functions maintain independence, and chief audit executives functionally report to the “board.” The term “board” is interpreted differently in different countries due to the country’s governance models. The diverse corporate governance models create different board structures and the CAE’s reporting relationship with the board. Additionally, the lack of regulatory mandate about internal audit created a reality that internal audit functions are positioned differently depending on …


The Impact Of Board Structure On Ipo Underpricing, Steven Dolvin, Jack Kirby Mar 2016

The Impact Of Board Structure On Ipo Underpricing, Steven Dolvin, Jack Kirby

Steven D. Dolvin

Prior research has examined the impact of board structure on firm performance and found that characteristics such as board size affect both operating and stock price performance. Existing research has concentrated primarily on performance in periods well removed from a firm’s initial public offering (IPO), and relatively little research has examined the impact of board structure on the stock price performance of IPOs, particularly with regard to characteristics other than board size. This study fills this gap, finding that the key board characteristic is the percentage external directors on the board. The authors find that the greater the percentage of …


Essays On The Effect Of Excess Compensation And Governance Changes On Firm Value, Mustafa A. Dah Jan 2012

Essays On The Effect Of Excess Compensation And Governance Changes On Firm Value, Mustafa A. Dah

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This dissertation consists of three essays on the effect of excess compensation and corporate governance changes on the firm’s performance. The first paper utilizes a cost minimization stochastic frontier approach to investigate the efficiency of director total compensation. Our findings suggest that board members are over compensated. We show that, on average, the director actual compensation level is above the efficient compensation level by around 63%. Our results suggest that an increase in director excess compensation decreases the likelihood of CEO turnover, reduces the turnover-performance sensitivity, and increases managerial entrenchment. Thus, the surplus in director compensation is directly associated with …


Board Structure And Firm Performance: Evidence From Australia, Ingrid Bonn May 2009

Board Structure And Firm Performance: Evidence From Australia, Ingrid Bonn

Ingrid Bonn

The influence of corporate governance on firm performance has been discussed for a number of years, but mainly in a United States and European business context. This article investigates the composition of boards of directors in large Australian firms and analyses whether board structure has an impact on performance, as measured by return on equity and market-to-book value ratio. The results showed that outsider ratio and female director ratio were positively associated with firm performance, whereas board size and directors' age had no influence on firm performance.

Analysis Of Board Structure,Corporate Value And Financial Policy, Yu-Chen Tu, Wei-Hung Lai, Heng-Chih Chou

Journal of Marine Science and Technology

The purpose of this paper is to examine how board structure relates to corporate value and financial policy of firms in Taiwan. Using quarterly data from ten stock-listed department stores in Taiwan during the period 2000-2005, this study builds a structural model with three equation sets, and then applies three-stage least squares (3SLS) to estimate all equations in the model simultaneously. It should be emphasized that all empirical deviations of normal asymptotic properties caused by OLS or 2SLS in the previous studies can be improved by 3SLS, even though the model of this study contains lagged endogenous variables. The empirical …

Corporate Governance And Corporate Illegality: The Effects Of Board Structure On Environmental Violations, Marie A. Mckendall, Carol M. Sanchez, Paul Sicilian Mar 1999

Corporate Governance And Corporate Illegality: The Effects Of Board Structure On Environmental Violations, Marie A. Mckendall, Carol M. Sanchez, Paul Sicilian

Peer Reviewed Articles

This paper examined the effects of corporate governance structures on the incidence of corporate illegality by analyzing the relationship between environmental violations and several dimensions of corporate board structure. Results demonstrated that the value of stock owned by corporate officers and directors was positively and significantly associated with serious environmental violations. Outsider dominance, joint CEO‐Chairpersons, social responsibility committees, and attorneys on boards were not significantly related to corporate illegal behavior. The control variables of size, industry profitability, firm profitability, and industry concentration were all significantly related to environmental violations. The findings involving board structure cast doubt on the efficacy of …
