In today's dynamic business landscape, boards of directors play a pivotal role in guiding organizations towards sustainable growth and value creation. The research aims to contribute significantly to the corporate governance discourse by introducing novel metrics such as cash flow and value-added production, expanding the scope of analysis beyond traditional financial indicators. We emphasize two key factors: gender diversity and director tenure, offering a holistic understanding of board composition. The empirical analysis draws from a dataset of financial services firms in New Orleans, revealing that boards with gender diversity and experienced directors excel in strategic decision-making, risk management, and innovation. This highlights the importance of building diverse and knowledgeable boards that blend seasoned business leaders with fresh perspectives. The findings hold broader implications for policymakers, who can advocate for policies promoting diversity and experience in corporate governance. Investors gain insights into value drivers beyond traditional metrics, facilitating partnerships with companies prioritizing comprehensive performance improvement. The study illuminates the intricate relationship between board effectiveness and company success in New Orleans' financial services sector. The unique methodology combines innovative performance indicators and an integrated framework, providing a comprehensive view of the value created by diverse and experienced boards. These insights inform investment strategies, policy development, and strategic decision-making, fostering long-term company performance and societal benefit.","PeriodicalId":189292,"journal":{"name":"MARGINAL JOURNAL OF MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING GENERAL FINANCE AND INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC ISSUES","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136264882","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The primary objective is to investigate the complex interplay between AC attributes and the extent of sustainability-related data dissemination among financial entities based in Charlotte. Leveraging a comprehensive dataset spanning 2016 to 2020, covering 537 organizations, the study endeavors to unearth the fundamental mechanisms that underlie the connection between AC characteristics and sustainable disclosure practices. The findings of this study hold significant potential for shedding light on sustainability disclosure practices within Charlotte's financial sector. The central claim posits that robust ACs, emblematic of effective governance processes, may serve as conduits for elevating sustainability disclosure standards. This study introduces a pioneering paradigm, bridging the pivotal role of audit committee characteristics with sustainability disclosure requisites and corporate performance. Empirical support underpins the hypothesis of a positive association between select AC characteristics and the extent of sustainability disclosure. These findings provide actionable insights for managers and practitioners to cultivate specialized governance approaches that bolster sustainable disclosure, ultimately enhancing overall business well-being. By elucidating the intricate interplay between AC characteristics, sustainability disclosure, and company performance in the unique context of Charlotte's Financial Services Companies, this study advances our current understanding and adds to the growing body of research in corporate governance and sustainability strategies.

The acquisition process involves one company acquiring another company, which can have various implications for the financial health and operational efficiency of both the acquiring and target companies. This study aims to analyze the comparison of the financial performance of companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange before and after making acquisitions. The study uses a quantitative method with a descriptive approach, and the data used are secondary data obtained from the Indonesia Stock Exchange. In this study, the sample was obtained using purposive sampling technique, resulting in the selection of three companies that carried out acquisition activities in 2020. Data analysis in this study is divided into three parts: descriptive statistical tests, normality tests using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, and hypothesis testing consisting of paired sample t-tests for normally distributed data and Wilcoxon signed rank tests for data that are not normally distributed. Based on the results, it is evident that out of the eight financial ratios that have been tested, only one financial ratio experiences significant differences after making an acquisition, namely the Quick Ratio. The other seven ratios, namely Current Ratio, Total Asset Turnover, Debt to Asset Ratio, Debt to Equity Ratio, Return on Asset, Return on Equity, and Earnings Per Share, do not show significant differences. This suggests that the company has not fully optimized its performance in achieving the expected synergy through the acquisition process.","PeriodicalId":189292,"journal":{"name":"MARGINAL JOURNAL OF MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING GENERAL FINANCE AND INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC ISSUES","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135205153","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, we examine the impact of return on equity (ROE), firm size, firm age, and reputation in terms of Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice (KAP) on stock underpricing. The sample selection process employs a saturated sample methodology, resulting in a final observation-worthy sample of 134 companies from an initial pool of 219. We employ multiple regression analysis using the SPSS 27 program to analyze the data. Our findings reveal that while firm size, age, and KAP reputation do not significantly influence stock underpricing, return on equity emerges as a significant determinant affecting the degree of stock underpricing in IPOs.

The timing of audit reports, commonly referred to as audit report lag, is an important aspect of financial reporting that reflects the efficiency and effectiveness of an organization's financial reporting process. Several factors can influence audit report lag, including the size of the firm, the presence of investment opportunities, and financial difficulties that a company might face. This study aims to empirically investigate the influence of firm size and investment opportunity sets on audit report lag, and whether financial difficulties can moderate the impact of company size and investment opportunity sets on the delay in audit reports. The research focuses on the infrastructure, utilities, and transportation sectors listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the period 2019 to 2021. Employing a quantitative research approach, this study utilizes secondary data collection techniques, specifically documentation, and involves a sample of 24 companies. The findings reveal that Company Size significantly affects Audit Report Lag, while Investment Opportunity Set does not have a discernible impact on Audit Report Lag. Additionally, the study demonstrates that Financial Distress does not act as a moderating factor in the relationship between Company Size and Audit Report Lag, nor between Investment Opportunity Set and Audit Report Lag. When considered together, Company Size and Investment Opportunity Set concurrently exhibit a significant influence on Audit Report Lag.","PeriodicalId":189292,"journal":{"name":"MARGINAL JOURNAL OF MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING GENERAL FINANCE AND INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC ISSUES","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135236494","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
