Further analysis reveals that the corporate teamwork culture score is positively associated with the quality of management earnings forecast. It implies that firms with a stronger teamwork culture issue more accurate earnings forecasts as human harmony cooperation and strong employee responsibility help reduce errors in earnings forecasts.

Results using data on Japanese firms’ outbound M&amp;A from 2010 to 2020 after Japan shifted from a worldwide tax system to a territorial tax system show that the deterrent effect of geographic distance is moderated by high tax avoidance, use of a tax consolidation regime, and a high level of deferred tax asset (DTA) balance. Additionally, we find that the 2017 Tax Reform on Japanese controlled foreign company (CFC) rules reduced the moderating effect of use of a consolidation regime, whereas it enhanced the moderating effect of a high level of DTA balance.

In our additional analysis, we observe that board cultural diversity is critical for improving social performance and business ethics is essential for improving environmental and social performance.

In other words, the study investigates how IFRS affects the quality of earnings over time. The study also examines the moderating role of firm size and IFRS specialists/experts on the issue. We use firm-level data of Bombay Stock Exchange listed firms and analyze it through the “Difference in Difference” technique. We find that the association between IFRS and earnings quality changes favorably as the introduction grows longer. In particular, we find that earnings quality is lower during the initial years of IFRS adoption, however, it improves in the later years of adoption, consistent with the notion of diffusion and learning curve theory. Our subsequent tests suggest that small firms are taking more time to percolate through the IFRS system, however, it does not hold when small firms hire IFRS specialists/experts to migrate their older accounts to IFRS, consistent with the notion of resource dependency theory of innovation. Overall, IFRS is found to be a continuous improvement process in emerging nations whose benefit can be derived in the initial years by providing sufficient infrastructural and institutional support, particularly to small firms. Our findings are robust to the problem of endogeneity and offer real-world ramifications for regulatory authorities, accounting-standard setters, and investors.</p>","PeriodicalId":44561,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Corporate Accounting and Finance","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50121398","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}

We argue that having a blockholder serve on the board of directors will improve a firm's corporate governance due to having both the ability and incentive to correct problems in a firm. We provide evidence that the presence of blockholders on the board of directors lowers the amount of abnormal working capital accruals caused by CEO incentives. We show that this is primarily done by reducing abnormal increases in inventory. This finding is most robust among busy boards, providing evidence that director blockholders can provide strong corporate governance in the absence of an attentive board of directors.

Based on the results of the Unit root test and Granger causality test, there are bidirectional relationships between risk and capital structure and vice versa. Additionally, Panel DOLS and System GMM were applied for regression and comparison analysis between the African markets and South Africa. The estimates disclose that when companies experience lower risk, the costs of adjustment toward the target are higher. Hence, companies can re-adjust their capital structure more easily by issuing external capital over periods of stable economic environments, thereby improving their market value. Considering the case of South Africa, the first DOLS results outlined similar estimates compared to the African market. Conversely, when measured with System GMM, the estimates imply that firms incur difficulties in adjusting costs, thus reducing leverage due to unfavorable macroeconomic indicators in line with the pecking order theory stating that in African economies, companies spend more on expenses and adjust their capital structure slowly to reach their optimal target position.</p>","PeriodicalId":44561,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Corporate Accounting and Finance","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50147436","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}

Using a panel data set, we find that firms with higher ownership concentration tend to engage more in dividend smoothing, which is more evident for firms with high growth opportunities and greater financial constraints. Our results also show that companies with a mandatory minimum dividend rule (Brazil and Chile) do not engage in dividend smoothing as much as companies without this regulation (Argentina, Colombia, Mexico, and Peru). These results are consistent with the idea that in countries where the legal system does not protect minority shareholders, firms would smooth dividends to build a reputation for moderation in expropriating shareholders.

We use three candidate variables for managerial risk aversion: the CEO's equity portfolio vega, decision horizon, and wealth. We find that equity-based pay differs between generalist CEOs (who have broader experience spanning several industries) and non-generalist CEOs (who tend to have narrower, specialized industry-specific experience) based on their risk appetite. Further, how the generalist pay premium is structured depends on the risk aversion measure. Because generalist CEOs tend to be better paid than their counterparts, understanding their risk aversion level will help companies improve the structure of these CEOs’ compensation packages, and ultimately those of all CEOs. When vega is the risk aversion measure, CEOs get compensated for bearing risk. However, generalist CEOs with high vegas suffer a “risk discount” in their compensation. These generalist CEOs are associated with lower cash, equity, and total pay. CEOs with longer decision horizons get more equity and less cash, but this structuring does not extend to the generalist CEOs. Finally, wealthier CEOs get more cash and total pay.

Significant Cumulative Average Abnormal Returns (CAARs) can be observed in both the short-term and the entire engagement period event windows. The results from activism differ by an activist investor's objectives and demands. CAARs related to elimination of a general undervaluation, a maximization of shareholder value, and an adjustment of a target firm's capital structure are the highest in our sample. We do not find empirical evidence that board representation or proxy fights increase the CAARs of activist investors’ campaigns. Our study adds to the existing literature by analyzing abnormal returns not only around the announcement of the campaign but also over the entire campaign.
