Abstract

This research examines the complex link that exists between dividend yield and return on assets (ROA), audit quality, business size and liquidity among Malaysia's top 100 ranked companies in 2022. A statistically significant positive correlation has been shown between ROA and dividend yield, suggesting that increased profitability is generally associated with larger dividend yields. This research lends credence to the signaling theory, which holds that companies use their dividend policy to communicate to investors their financial stability and confidence. In a similar vein, there is a notable positive correlation between AQ and dividend yield, which emphasizes the importance of strong audit procedures in boosting investor trust and raising dividend payments. Additionally, the research reveals a noteworthy affirmative association between firm size and dividend yield, underscoring the influence of market capitalization on the determination of dividend policy. Consistent with signaling theory, larger corporations use dividends as a strategic way to communicate their commitment to shareholders because they are seen as more financially reliable. Furthermore, a strong positive correlation has been shown between liquidity and dividend yield, highlighting the crucial role liquidity plays in determining dividend payout policies and providing investors with a sense of financial safety. This study, which makes use of signaling theory, sheds light on how businesses strategically employ dividend policy to convey important information to the market, boosting investor confidence and improving market repute. The practical ramifications of these findings include enlightening investing strategies and giving investors insight into the factors influencing decisions about dividend policy. Theoretical contributions include deepening our understanding of the intricate relationship between dividend policy and financial indicators in the context of signaling theory and providing insightful information for further study.

Abstract

This study investigates the roles of government-linked companies (GLCs), audit quality, and firm size as key determinants of firm performance among the top 100 companies in Malaysia from 2018 to 2022, measured by Return on Assets (ROA). The findings support agency theory, suggesting that GLCs, under government oversight, prioritize broader objectives over shareholder wealth maximization. Effective monitoring mechanisms, such as independent boards and audit committees, help reduce agency costs and enhance performance. Furthermore, higher audit quality is found to positively influence ROA, highlighting the significance of Big Four audit firms in protecting investor interests. Conversely, while firm size shows a negative correlation with ROA, this relationship is statistically insignificant, indicating that larger boards may not necessarily improve performance. In conclusion, this study contributes to the theoretical and practical understanding of how GLCs, audit quality, and firm size influence corporate growth. It identifies gaps in the existing literature regarding the implications of firm size and the effectiveness of governance structures. Future research should further explore these dimensions, particularly the optimization of governance mechanisms to enhance firm performance across different contexts.

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between audit committee diversity and financial performance. The research analyzes data from the top 100 non-financial firms listed on Bursa Malaysia in 2021. While extensive literature explores the connection between audit committees and financial firm performance, limited studies investigate their role in overall firm performance. Thus, this study aims to bridge this gap by examining key audit committee attributes—independence, meeting frequency, and expertise—and their impact on firm performance. Grounded in Agency Theory, this study posits that an independent and well-structured audit committee enhances monitoring effectiveness, mitigating agency conflicts, and improving firm performance. The empirical findings reveal a positive and significant relationship between audit committee independence, audit committee meetings, and audit committee expertise with firm performance, measured by return on assets. Additionally, firm size exhibits a significant positive association with firm performance. The study contributes to the growing body of corporate governance literature by providing empirical evidence on the role of audit committee attributes in firm performance. The findings underscore the importance of audit committee effectiveness in enhancing corporate governance and business outcomes. The paper concludes with a discussion on implications, limitations, and recommendations for future research

Abstract

This study investigates students’ adoption and perceptions of wearable financial devices, such as smartwatches and fitness trackers with payment capabilities. A survey‐based descriptive approach was employed with ten university students to assess their views on usefulness, ease of use, trust, security, and behavioral impact. Descriptive statistics revealed generally positive attitudes toward wearable financial devices. Respondents expressed strong trust in data privacy and were likely to recommend such devices to peers, although perceptions of convenience and usage frequency were moderate. The findings also indicate that wearable payments had limited influence on saving habits and financial awareness. Peer influence nevertheless emerged as an important factor driving adoption among students.These results support the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) in the wearable payments context. This study contributes to FinTech and wearable technology research by showing how these devices are now embedded into students’ routines and suggests design improvements and educational strategies to strengthen their financial utility.

Abstract

This study investigates university students’ adoption, usage patterns, and behavioral perceptions of IoT-based payment systems in Malaysia. Using a survey approach, ten students were examined to explore the frequency of usage, perceived financial control, impulsivity, trust, and influence on financial decision-making. Findings reveal high adoption and habitual usage, with students exhibiting moderate trust in system security and varied perceptions of financial control. While access to digital transaction data enhances awareness, it does not necessarily translate into disciplined financial behavior, indicating a gap between insight and action. Concerns such as security, micro-spending, and app limitations were identified. The study highlights the interplay between trust, habitual use, and digital financial literacy, suggesting the need for apps to evolve from passive trackers to behavioral nudges supporting budgeting, savings, and financial decision-making. The results provide insights for developers, educators, and policymakers aiming to optimize digital financial tools for young adults.

Abstract

This study presents a survey-based descriptive quantitative analysis of students’ adoption of Internet of Things (IoT)-based financial management tools, particularly smart wallets and budgeting applications, among university students in Malaysia and China. Conducted at Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP), Campus Cyberjaya, the study examines students’ perceptions of usefulness, ease of use, trust, and behavioral outcomes related to IoT financial tools. Data were collected from 15 respondents using a structured questionnaire and analyzed through descriptive statistics, including mean, median, and mode. Findings indicate that students widely agree IoT-based tools enhance financial planning, saving habits, and overall money management. The results demonstrate strong confidence and increasing comfort in integrating IoT applications into daily financial routines. Supported by the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), the study contributes to digital inclusion and supports SDG 8 and SDG 9 by promoting responsible financial behavior and technological innovation.
