Abstract

This study investigates the impact of Earnings Management and Earnings Opacity on Firm Value, with Corporate Governance as a moderating factor. Firm Leverage and Firm Size are utilized as control variables to refine the analysis. The research comprises 304 observations from 76 consumer goods and agriculture companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange between 2018 and 2021. Panel data regression analysis is conducted to test the hypotheses. Results reveal that Earnings Management and Earnings Opacity positively influence Firm Value. However, Corporate Governance does not enhance the relationship between Earnings Management and Firm Value. In contrast, Corporate Governance amplifies the impact of Earnings Opacity on Firm Value, underscoring the critical role of governance in mitigating the adverse effects of financial report opacity. This study enriches existing literature by examining the differential moderating effects of Corporate Governance on Earnings Management and Earnings Opacity. The findings offer valuable insights for corporate leaders, highlighting that robust governance and financial transparency drive sustainable performance and bolster investor confidence. By fostering transparency and accountability, companies contribute to market stability and public trust, especially in sectors vital to economic growth. Targeting specific sectors in emerging markets advances the understanding of financial reporting and governance dynamics.

Abstract

By focusing on a specific type of greenwashing behavior concerning carbon emission reductions, (i.e., carbon washing), the aim of this study is to investigate its antecedents in ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) performance and find relevant solutions in Chinese context. This study is designed under a framework of greenwashing triangle for both analysis and examination. The measurement of carbon washing is based on text analysis and content analysis of non-financial reports, and the results are obtained by ordinary least squares regression. The results show a negative relationship between firms’ ESG performance and carbon washing tendency, which is mediated through lowering the standardization of carbon disclosure. To combat it, reducing opportunities and rationalizations are both effective avenues, while reducing pressure leads to complicated results. The results offer enlightenment for the cautious usage and regulation of firms’ carbon disclosures. Understanding the causes of carbon washing helps to distinguish good performers from poor performers concerning carbon reductions, hence increasing market efficiency. Finding relevant solutions helps to fight carbon washing acts and improve the quality of carbon information. The value of the study is offering new insights in the mis informativeness of carbon disclosure, which helps avoid the generalities in conventional discussions of greenwashing. The measurement of carbon washing is original, based on previous researches.

Abstract

Despite the urgency of COVID-19, insurance companies are facing a slower-moving global crisis, namely climate change. This paper aims to investigate how corporate ownership affects the solvency of (re)insurance companies. It also analyses how climate-based insurance products, and the COVID-19 pandemic period differentiate these effects. The quantitative approach uses company accounting data throughout 2016-2022 and solvency is measured by risk-based capital (RBC). The findings show that for climate change-based (re)insurance companies, the larger the foreign-owned company, the higher the RBC level. Meanwhile, there is no difference in the effect of government and non-government owned insurance companies on their RBC. Another finding found that foreign ownership has a significant effect on the RBC of general insurance companies during the COVID-19 pandemic, while there is no relationship between the two during normal conditions. This research is expected to encourage the development and sustainability of climate change-based insurance, as well as input for financial regulators.

Abstract

This study aims to obtain empirical evidence related to the effect of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) disclosure and profitability on the value of food and beverage subsector companies. The research population is a food and beverage subsector manufacturing company listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2019 to 2021. This study used a purposive sampling technique in sampling and obtained a sample of 48 companies with a total of 130 observational data. CSR disclosure in research is measured using GRI Standards, and profitability is proxied by Return on Equity (ROE). Firm value is proxied by Tobin's Q with period t + 1, the use of periods in firm value is a novelty in research. The analysis technique used is multiple linear regression analysis. The results showed that CSR disclosure has a significant negative effect on firm value. While profitability has a significant positive effect on firm value. This study contributes to the literature by introducing a temporal perspective in firm value measurement, highlighting the delayed impact of CSR disclosure and profitability on firm performance.

Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the determinants of tax avoidance in Ghana, with a particular focus on firm characteristics, corporate governance, and corporate social responsibility (CSR) expenditure. The study employs quantitative methods, analysing ten years of data (2012-2021) extracted from the annual reports of listed firms. The results indicate that firm size, CSR expenditure, board independence, and foreign ownership are significant determinants of tax avoidance. In contrast, firm profit, gender diversity, and debt-to-equity ratio are found to be statistically insignificant. Notably, larger firms with higher profits and increased leverage tend to engage more in tax avoidance. The study also reveals a negative relationship between tax avoidance and both board independence and gender diversity, whereas foreign ownership and CSR expenditure are positively associated with tax avoidance. The study highlights the importance of CSR expenditure in understanding tax avoidance motives, suggesting that firms with significant CSR activities may require closer scrutiny by tax authorities to prevent aggressive tax practices. The value of this study lies in its inclusion of CSR expenditure as a novel factor influencing tax avoidance, providing fresh insights for researchers and policymakers on how firm characteristics and governance structures affect tax behaviour.

Abstract

When earnings management practices are not disclosed properly, it can decrease value relevance of financial information. If earnings management is linked with profitability, its effect on decreasing value relevance becomes stronger. However, sustainability performance represented by ESG scores can have the opposite effect. This study aims to examine the effect of earnings management and value relevance, moderated by profitability and ESG scores. The samples used in this study are manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange and the Japan Stock Exchange in the period 2016-2019. Multiple regression analysis tests the hypothesis. The results indicate that earnings management has a negative and significant effect on value relevance in both Indonesia and Japan. Corporate performance measured by profitability can increase the negative effect of earnings management on value relevance, but sustainability performance measured by ESG scores can reduce the negative effect. The implication is that the marketplaces greater trust in companies that engage in ESG activities. As a trade-off, it is possible that ESG can be used to cover up these earnings management practices. This study contributes to adding evidence on the relationship between earnings management and value relevance, specifically when it is linked to profitability and ESG scores.
