We use content analysis to measure levels of forward-looking disclosure (FLD) for forty-eight bank-year observations from eight banks listed on Muscat Securities Market in Oman for the period 2014-2019. Our regression analysis shows that overlapping AC membership positively affects FLD. The evidence from this study suggests that a consideration of AC directors' attributes (e.g., overcommitted AC members) is needed to understand their role in the boardroom or in the subcommittees. An implication of the result is that the Omani corporate governance code should provide guidelines on the type and proportion of the overlapping AC membership. Furthermore, the code could encourage AC members to be overlapped across different committees as this could have a positive impact on corporate disclosure practice. Our study has demonstrated, for the first time, that overlapped AC members enhance the forward-looking content of chairman reports.","PeriodicalId":35413,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Accounting, Auditing and Performance Evaluation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135002915","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}

To explore the relationship between the CSB determinants through the application of the fixed and random effects methods, we used 180 IBs from 56 countries during the period (2010-2019). The empirical results revealed that the CSB size, the number of meetings, and the presence of Charia advisers improved the IBs' FP. However, the presence of financial experts in the CSB degraded their FP. The IBs' CSB size ensured the skills' diversification, since the number offers them the necessary time to discuss monetary exchanges, investment choices, and complaints from other committees, while the existence of specialist advisers has optimised the respect for Charia standards. Nevertheless, the experts' impact confirmed either their qualification insufficiency, or their training inadequacy in terms of Fikh Al-Muamalat.","PeriodicalId":35413,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Accounting, Auditing and Performance Evaluation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135002902","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 results of prior quantitative and qualitative studies already evidence the growing dissemination of voluntary HTML-formatted financial information on the internet and reveal its perceived benefits. However, there is a lack of empirical evidence on the determinants of standardised financial reports in accordance with IFRS that are voluntarily published in HTML format, called online financial reports (OFR). We investigate the determinants of the decision of European listed firms to publish OFR from 2014 to 2019. We find that the decision of using an OFR is adversely affected by firm leverage and ownership concentration. Our findings contribute to the ongoing research on internet financial reporting and aim to improve our understanding of what determines OFR usage in an international context. Our findings may have practical implications for the disclosure strategy of listed firms.","PeriodicalId":35413,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Accounting, Auditing and Performance Evaluation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135058103","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 results show significant impact of board effectiveness, audit committee effectiveness, high auditor’s quality and accruals flexibility on the level of AEM, and also we find significant relations between the level of REM and AEM, suggesting that managers may switch from AEM to REM when they find constraints on AEM. Additional analysis of firms with relatively strong earnings management incentives confirms the trade-off between AEM and REM. Our findings are also robust to the alternative measure of earnings management.","PeriodicalId":35413,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Accounting, Auditing and Performance Evaluation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41692061","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}
