The study employed descriptive summary statistics, correlation analysis, regression analysis and factor analysis to analyze the data gathered.Results –Using factor analysis, it was found that Risk Disclosure Quantity (RDQUANT) has the highest eigenvalue, making it the composite quality of the risk disclosure of listed insurance firms and denoting that the RDQ of insurance firms is best measured by the RDQUANT. Using GLS regression, it was found that Risk Committee Size (RCS) and Risk Committee Meeting (RCM) have a significant positive impact on the RDQ of Listed Insurance firms in Nigeria. Contrary, Risk Committee Executive Presence (RCEXP) has an insignificant negative impact on the RDQ of the listed insurance firms.Research limitations/implications –This result influences the efforts of regulatory authorities in their attempt to develop resilient corporate governance codes that guarantee qualitative risk disclosures. The study recommends that regulatory authorities in the Nigerian insurance industry should mandate the establishment of large risk committees and set higher thresholds for committee meetings over and above the traditional quarterly meeting. The risk committee should be composed of a lower number of executive directors.Novelty/Originality –The originality of this study lies in the usage of factor analysis to determine the best measure of risk disclosure quality in Nigeria. In addition, this is the first study of its kind to determine the impact of risk committee attributes on risk disclosure quality in the Nigerian Insurance industry.","PeriodicalId":474398,"journal":{"name":"Journal of accounting research, organization and economics","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135990312","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 research focuses on listed companies within the ASEAN region, namely Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Singapore. The primary data sources comprise the Bloomberg and COMPUSTAT Global databases. Using the fixed effect model, the study includes a total of 145 listed companies, resulting in 725 firm-year observations.Results –This study found that there is evidence of an insignificant negative relationship between size and profitability, while the relationship between growth and profitability is found to be positive and significant. This suggests that the phenomenon of economies of scale is still in place, but in the long run it might be replaced by the diseconomies of scale.Research limitations/implications – The study contributes to a nuanced understanding of relationships between variables within each country. However, the study does not use all companies from each respective country. Novelty/Originality –This study employs a unique methodology by drawing samples from five distinct ASEAN countries.

Tax revenue, non-tax revenue, and total revenue are independent variables, while public expenditure is the dependent variable. Descriptive and regression analyses were performed using SPSS software.Results –Tax revenue is a significant contributor to Sri Lanka's total revenue, while non-tax revenue makes up a smaller portion. Additionally, the study reveals that Sri Lanka's total revenue is enough to cover nearly two-thirds of its total expenditure, with three-quarters of the country's expenses being for recurrent activities. Furthermore, the statistical analyses reveal that tax revenue has a significant impact on both current and capital expenditure in Sri Lanka, while non-tax revenue does not.Research Limitations/Implications – It is also observable that many non-tax revenue-generating activities in Sri Lanka have been generating significant losses for a prolonged period. As a result, policymakers must consider discontinuing such long-term loss-making non-tax revenue activities to promote the country's economy by increasing tax revenue and gross domestic production.Novelty/Originality –This study empirically deals with public revenue and expenditure with the consideration of more than thirty years of period in the Sri Lankan context.","PeriodicalId":474398,"journal":{"name":"Journal of accounting research, organization and economics","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135990848","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}

Hypothesis testing was performed using multivariate regression analysis.Results –This study finds that commissioners who have political connections tend to report higher banking performance, as measured by ROA. Meanwhile, women commissioners tend to report lower banking performance (ROA). Furthermore, there is a positive influence from political connections to banking performance when there are women commissioners. In addition, this study employs alternative measures of banking performance, namely ROE and including bank risk. This study also replaces the measurement of political connections from dummy variables to a number of political commissioner members compared to total commissioners. In particular, these results are robust after replacing the measurement of political connections, the commissioners who have political connection will report higher banking performance than commissioners who have no political connections. However, political connection and women commissioners have no significant effect on banking performance, when using ROE as banking performance. Meanwhile, political connection has a negative impact on bank risk. It suggests that political connections can reduce bank risk by decreasing overdue credit (Non-Performance Loan).Research limitations/implications –This study focuses primarily on the linear relationship with required gender diversity between political ties and banking performance.

The authors used a one-step generalised method of moments (GMM) approach to estimate the effect of board composition on the percentage growth of NPLs in Tanzania.Results – The paper concludes that the number of board members with financial expertise, the board size, the audit committee, and the presence of female directors significantly negatively impact the bank’s NPLs and hence aid in lowering the bank’s NPLs. In contrast, an increase in board size, lagged NPLs, credit committees, independent directors, board meetings, and advances in deposit ratio significantly increases the level of NPLs, which is consistent with the agency theory.Research Limitations/Implications – Inconsistencies in the reported variables from various databases during the study and afterwards, as well as a lack of data for some banks in specific years. Shareholders should actively establish good corporate governance in the commercial banks (CBs) they own to reduce NPLs at an acceptable rate of less than 5%. Also, the Central Banks of Tanzania should encourage CBs to implement effective corporate governance practices by enacting rules and regulations to reduce NPLs. To minimize loan losses, authorities should impose micro-prudential supervision on commercial banks’ lending behavior.
