We explore how investors perceive such hiring practices by examining whether they demand different costs of equity capital from firms led by local versus non-local CEOs. Our empirical evidence suggests that, on average, investors perceive hiring local CEOs positively by demanding lower costs of equity capital. The finding holds up to a battery of robustness tests. Cross-sectional tests show that the effect is more pronounced in firms that are more locally based, when firms potentially receive more local monitoring, when firms issue more earnings forecasts, and when firms have strong corporate governance. In addition, the level of social capital in the state where a firm is located attenuates the negative relation. Overall, we find evidence consistent with the notion that capital market participants price CEOs’ geographic characteristics and provide implications to the boards of directors on CEO-firm matches.","PeriodicalId":501001,"journal":{"name":"The British Accounting Review","volume":"23 1","pages":"101694"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144513203","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 comprehensive UK data on deal valuations, companies’ financial performance, and estimates of returns on buyout transactions, we study regional variations in deal pricing, portfolio firm performance, and deal returns. Our findings show that PE sponsors pay higher valuations for buyout targets in London and the South East relative to other UK regions. However, portfolio companies located in London and the South East do not exhibit greater gains in productivity and operating performance than their peers in peripheral regions.

Based on a sample of U.S. listed financial firms from 2005 to 2019, we find that the presence of a BRC is associated with less upward tone management in RFD, suggesting that BRCs enhance risk governance oversight and constrain managers from strategically biasing disclosure tone. BRCs' impact on mitigating upward tone management holds across different categories of risk disclosures. Further analysis shows that BRC size, independence, and the proportion of financial expert directors are negatively associated with upward tone in RFD, highlighting the importance of BRCs' structural factors. BRCs also improve disclosure readability while reducing uncertainty and ambiguity. Moreover, our cross-sectional analyses indicate that both mandatory and voluntary BRC adoption contribute to lower upward tone in RFD. However, this effect is significant only in the post-Dodd-Frank Act period, suggesting strengthened risk oversight following the Act's implementation. Finally, difference-in-differences tests provide further assurance against endogeneity concerns. Overall, our findings suggest that BRCs play a crucial role in curbing managerial incentives to manipulate RFD language, ultimately improving the quality of risk disclosures.","PeriodicalId":501001,"journal":{"name":"The British Accounting Review","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144237686","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 examine a unique information sharing channel that arises when chief executive officers (CEOs) or chief financial officers (CFOs) of home firms are also directors of banks' existing clients (connected firms). This channel is labelled as ‘CEO/CFO-bank links’, and these banks are referred to as connected banks in this study. We find that a home firm is more likely to have its connected bank as the loan provider, and the loan spread is lower than that of bank loan with a non-connected bank. Further analysis reveals that the above associations are more pronounced when connected firms are more closely monitored by the connected banks, when the information environment of home firms is weaker, or when the linkage between connected banks and home firms is stronger. Overall, our results suggest that CEO/CFO-bank links enable banks to access more firm-specific information, which influences the lending decisions.","PeriodicalId":501001,"journal":{"name":"The British Accounting Review","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144237416","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 create unique sentiment analysis tools, including a custom cryptocurrency sentiment lexicon, to deeply analyze content in the cryptocurrency domain, particularly focusing on investor discussions and viewpoints. Our findings demonstrate a significant, evolving link between market sentiment and cryptocurrency movements. A key observation is that the volatility of shock transmission is tightly connected to major market events, often influenced by large-scale investors, or “whales”. Our study indicates that market sentiment consistently affects both short- and long-term cryptocurrency volatility, underlining the crucial influence of investor sentiment in driving the dynamics of the cryptocurrency market. This underscores the importance of understanding investor sentiment for predicting and navigating the cryptocurrency market.","PeriodicalId":501001,"journal":{"name":"The British Accounting Review","volume":"56 1","pages":"101682"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144133695","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}

However, research on how the legal enforcement environment affects the financial reporting quality of development finance organizations, such as microfinance institutions (MFIs), remains limited. This study hypothesizes that higher financial reporting quality is associated with earnings that are less subject to earnings management. We assess financial reporting quality using abnormal loan loss provisions as a proxy for earnings management. Analyzing a global dataset of MFI financial statements spanning 15 years (2003–2017), we find that financial reporting quality is higher in weaker legal enforcement environments. This suggests that when enforcement is weak, investors rely less on accounting information, leading to less earnings management and higher financial reporting quality. In addition, our results suggest that for-profit MFIs and those less dependent on subsidies engage in less upward earnings management in weak enforcement environments.","PeriodicalId":501001,"journal":{"name":"The British Accounting Review","volume":"17 1","pages":"101684"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144133696","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 papers included in this issue demonstrate how AI can improve efficiency, enhance decision-making processes, and increase transparency across various domains, including financial reporting, auditing, risk management, and taxation. Specifically, the contributions highlight AI’s capability to automate routine tasks, analyse large and complex datasets, and significantly improve predictive accuracy. However, despite these notable benefits, the adoption of AI also raises important ethical and regulatory concerns. Issues such as algorithmic bias, fairness, and accountability must be carefully addressed to ensure that AI technologies are implemented responsibly and ethically. Beyond reviewing current developments, this special issue also outlines several priorities for future research. These include improving the transparency and explainability of AI models, and expanding AI applications into areas that have received less attention, such as behavioural finance, taxation, and data valuation. By encouraging further research and promoting interdisciplinary collaboration, this special issue aims to guide the development of AI in ways that are both innovative and responsible. The ultimate goal is to create an accounting and finance ecosystem that is not only more efficient, but also ethical and sustainable.","PeriodicalId":501001,"journal":{"name":"The British Accounting Review","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143930699","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}

This relationship is more pronounced among firms with less transparent information environments and greater financial constraints. The findings suggest that corporate site visits reduce information asymmetry and mitigate credit risks by curbing excessive managerial risk-taking, thereby increasing suppliers’ willingness to provide trade credit. Further, a textual analysis of the communications exchanged during corporate site visits reveals a stronger relationship between corporate site visits and trade credit when more information pertaining to the supply chain is disclosed during these visits. The results are robust to a variety of robustness checks for potential endogeneity. This research enriches the literature on the role of information quality in supply-chain finance.
