In this context, the purpose of this study is to investigate whether or not there is a mediating effect of risk management on the relationship between financial innovation and bank performance. Data collected from annual activity reports of banks listed on the Tunis Stock Exchange is analyzed, and used to validate the theoretical and empirical contributions of our article. The empirical study uses the Panel data extracted from 10 banks, over the period ranging from 2009 to 2017, and the Baron and Kenny (1986) mediation approach has been estimated, using specifications of random effects. Our empirical analysis substantiates that financial innovation has a positive direct effect on stock market performance, and a non-significative impact on financial profitability. Additionally, our results show that improving the stock market performance of banks by financial innovation depends on the mediator role of the operational risk management. To remain improving performance, Tunisian banks must pay more attention on special training of bank managers whose function relate to the choice of financial innovations and manage the associated risks.","PeriodicalId":260523,"journal":{"name":"Copernican Journal of Finance and Accounting","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133914009","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}

Secondary data was utilized for this study and the data were extracted from the annual reports of corporate organizations for the period 2013-2019 financial years. The binary logit regression was employed as the method of data analysis in the study. The findings reveal that the odd ratio of board independence, board expertise and board diligence negatively and significantly reduce the log odds of financial statement fraud in manufacturing firms in Nigeria.

Each system is to be influenced by a characteristic attribute; in this case, the number of assumed passengers per unit it that can transport. The model considers the proportion of users in each transport system, as well as the proportion of the budget destined for their expansion among new users, to be state variables. Model analysis allows for the determination of the conditions under which an innovative transportation system can expand and establish itself in a market which is initially dominated by an established transport system. Through use of the adaptive dynamics framework, the expected long-term behavior of the characteristic attribute which defines transport systems is examined. This long-term study allows for the establishment of the conditions under which certain values of the characteristic attribute configure coexistence, divergence, or both kinds of scenarios. The latter case is reported as the occurrence of evolutionary ramifications, conditions that guarantee the viability of an innovative transport system. Consequently, this phenomenon is referred to as the origin of diversity.","PeriodicalId":260523,"journal":{"name":"Copernican Journal of Finance and Accounting","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116714001","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}

Moreover issues associated to relative corporate governance and convergence of global corporate governance model has also been discusses by putting specific emphasize on the conflict of interest occurring from the association between executives and investors and the connection involving the value of the firms and CG. It is noted that because of the limitations in existing significant hypothetical and functional inadequacies, external controlling mechanisms might not be able to solely resolve the CG challenge, even though these could be significantly successful in some specific situations, Thus, corporations have to implement balancing internal firm specific controlling mechanism to reduce the overall costs associated to agency problem. The analysis also reveals that Both stockholder and stakeholder models are competing on the ground of superiority however, in practically there has been a vibrant modification with both standards are becoming progressively equally appealing in different regions over the last two decades.","PeriodicalId":260523,"journal":{"name":"Copernican Journal of Finance and Accounting","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129886709","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 paucity of empirical evidence from Nigeria in this regard, especially on Nigerian conglomerate firms, portends the need for further research. Against this backdrop, the study investigated the impact of capital structure on the financial performance of listed conglomerates in Nigerian using descriptive statistics, pairwise correlation and panel data regression technique to analyze the secondary data extracted from the annual reports and accounts of the six (6) selected conglomerates for the period 2008 to 2017. The study found that financial leverage proxy by total debt ratio, long-term debt ratio and short-term debt ratio have significant impact on the selected firms’ financial performance proxy by return on assets, except debt to equity ratio that reveals an insignificant impact on return assets (ROA). Firm size and growth also reported a significant effect on the financial performance of the selected firms. The findings is in tandem with the proposition of the agency cost theory in the Nigeria settings but with caution considering the facts that firms in Nigeria were largely finance through short term debt obligation as against long term debt funding that was presumed in the agency cost theoretical proposition. It is therefore recommended that managers of companies should be guided when seeking credit advances from the financial market as it is important when considering the appropriate capital mix that optimize firm value.","PeriodicalId":260523,"journal":{"name":"Copernican Journal of Finance and Accounting","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117076110","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}
