Abstract

This study investigated the effect of corporate governance information (CGI) disclosure on profitability of firms listed in the Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange (DSE). 21 listed companies were studied for a period ranging from 2006 to 2021 using a mixed research method with an explanatory sequential design. Return on equity (ROE) and Return on Assets (ROA) were employed as dependent variables in the panel data analysis. CGI disclosure was an independent variable. Geographical diversification, firm age, firm size, and sales growth were the control variables. Secondary data was obtained from DSE. Qualitative data was gathered via semi-structured interviews. Thematic analysis and a random effect model with two estimates (1 and 2) were utilized to analyze qualitative and quantitative data respectively. The findings suggested that there was a positive and significant effect of CGI disclosure on firm profitability. The findings adds to the body of knowledge by signifying stakeholder’s theory. The study concluded that Disclosure of CGI may undeniably result in increased profitability. We recommended that firm managers should pay a closer look at CGI disclosure, enhance their disclosure practices, and invest in disclosure strategies that will benefit stakeholders.

Abstract

Profits are generated by managing assets and using them wisely to create revenues that exceed costs. This study aimed to analyse the effects of managerial competence on firm profitability listed in the Dar es Salaam stock exchange (DSE). The quantitative research design was used to collect, analyse and interpret data in this research while Panel Regression Model was selected to analyse the influence of Managerial competence on profitability of listed firms. POLS technique was used to check robustness and Diagnostic tests were used to meet the criteria of regression analysis. The regression analysis indicate that managerial competence had a significant effect on firm profitability. Raising managerial competence has the potential to significantly increase business profitability, as managers play a key role in an organization's overall functioning. The researchers suggested that shareholders should thoroughly analyse potential managers' competencies and credentials before allocating managerial duties since hiring a competent management team is likely to have a beneficial impact on the firm's profitability. Shareholders should strive to reduce the risk of choosing managers who lack the requisite abilities to maximize the firm's profitability by performing due diligence in the selection process.
