Abstract

This study is to examine and analyze the effects of corporate governance, managerial ownership, and bonus plan on earnings management of manufacturing and financial companies, which are listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange, Malaysia Stock Exchange, and the Philippines Stock Exchange. It analyzed the balance sheet data, income, and capital statements presented in the 2008-2012 periods and applied the multiple linear regression analysis and one-way ANOVA to test the proposed hypotheses. The findings showed that corporate governance, managerial ownership, and bonus plan simultaneously did not affect earnings management. There was no significant difference in the proportion of independent board of commissioners, the size of the board of directors, proportion of independent audit committee, managerial ownership, bonus plan, and earnings management between Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines stock exchanges. It implies that the ASEAN-3 companies consider corporate governance unimportant in managing their earnings. It also gives new insights into a rare phenomenon of agency theory findings in semi-strong market efficiency post-global financial crisis 2008.

Abstract

This research examines the mediating role of access to finance, financial risk management, and competitive advantage in the relationship between financial literacy and Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME) performance. This research also tests demographic factors such as the owner's gender, company size, company age, and number of employees in moderating the influence of the variables studied. The sample for this research is MSMEs in Jakarta Province, Indonesia. Five hundred and fifty MSMEs participated in the study using a web-based self-administered questionnaire. The data was analyzed using Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The research results show that financial literacy positively affects access to finance, financial risk management, competitive advantage, and MSME performance. Access to finance, financial risk management, and competitive advantage positively affect MSME performance and can mediate the relationship between financial literacy and MSME performance. The research also uncovers the moderating role of demographic factors, suggesting that the strength of the connections between financial literacy, access to finance, financial risk attitude, competitive advantage, and MSME performance may vary based on these factors. These findings carry significant implications for owners, managers, and governmental stakeholders, emphasizing the importance of enhancing financial literacy among MSMEs to enhance their performance.

Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between company characteristics, carbon emission disclosure, and economic consequences in five ASEAN countries. By utilizing data from 2008 to 2017, the research focuses on non-financial companies, selected due to their prominence as the highest carbon-emitting nations in the ASEAN region. Results reveal that profitability positively influences carbon emission disclosure, while leverage exhibits no significant effect. Additionally, company size positively impacts carbon emission disclosure, whereas sales growth demonstrates a negative effect. Furthermore, carbon emission disclosure positively affects economic consequence variables. These findings offer practical implications for practitioners and investors, emphasizing the importance of considering carbon emission disclosure in investment decisions.
