The recent emphasis by the Securities and Exchange Commission on improving accounting and controls within public companies has led to heightened scrutiny of firms with ongoing MW disclosures. Analyzing data from 2004 to 2021, we find that approximately one-third of MW observations are for 2 or more consecutive years, with the longest duration being 12 years. Our research shows that these firms face progressively higher audit fees and longer audit report lags for each additional year of MW disclosure. Firm–years with long-standing MW disclosures (5 or more consecutive years) have the highest audit fees and the longest audit report lags. Our findings also reveal a significant increase in the likelihood of misstatements during the first and second consecutive years of MW disclosures, and a consistent and notable rise in discretionary accruals over the initial 4 consecutive years of MW reporting for these firms. Overall, our results highlight the financial repercussions for firms that do not promptly address MWs in their internal controls.

Our results indicate that among highly financially constrained firms, overall financial constraints are positively associated with investment, and higher financial constraints are more likely to result in greater investment inefficiency. Furthermore, we find that this relationship is more prominent for companies with high free cash flow, high bankruptcy likelihood, and high growth potential.

However, a comprehensive examination of financial literature reveals a notable gap concerning the application of matrix-variate extensions to Value-at-Risk (VaR). However, from a mathematical perspective, the core requirement for VaR lies in determining meaningful percentiles within the context of finance, necessitating the consideration of matrix c.d.f. This paper introduces the concept of “matrix-variate VaR” for both Wishart and Gamma distributions. To achieve this, we leverage the theory of hypergeometric functions of matrix argument and integrate over positive definite matrices. Our proposed approach adeptly characterizes a company's exposure by into a comprehensive risk measure. This facilitates a readily computable estimation of the total incurred risk. Notably, this approach enables efficient computation of risk measures under Wishart, exponential, Erlang, gamma, and chi-square distributions.

We use firm-level data from the U.S. and apply regression analyses to a sample of 56,459 firm-year observations from 1987 to 2019. Organizational capital encompasses the processes, systems, knowledge, culture, and technology of a firm, playing a crucial role in securing competitive advantages, which leads to enhanced profitability and growth prospects. It has been observed that companies rich in organizational capital experience better financial outcomes. However, these companies also face significant agency issues, as both shareholders and crucial employees have stakes in the cash flows generated by organizational capital. We propose that managers of companies with substantial organizational capital tend to produce financial statements that are less comparable. This strategy allows them to obscure the firm's economic performance from shareholders, aiming to retain a larger portion of the cash flows. The discovery that companies modify comparability in reaction to organization processes, culture and business models captures the attention of regulators and policymakers, who highlight the significance of comparability in enhancing the utility of information for users.
