Abdur Rouf and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research aims to test empirically the relationship between the Financial Performances (Profitability) and the level of Corporate Governance Disclosure (CGD) by the listed non-financial companies in Bangladesh. Data are taken from annual reports of the listed companies in the 2007. This paper is based on a sample of 94 listed companies and Used OLS as a method of estimation. The extent of corporate governance disclosure level is measured using 40 items of information and financial performance (profitability) is measured by return on assets (ROA). Using an unweighted approach for measuring corporate governance disclosure, this approach is most appropriate when no importance is given to any specific user-groups. After establishing the disclosure index, a scoring sheet was developed to assess the extent of corporate governance disclosures. The result shows that the Financial Performances (Profitability) and Board Audit Committee are positively correlated with the level of Corporate Governance Disclosure (CGD). Percentage of Equity Owned by the Insiders is negatively associated with the Corporate Governance Disclosure. The study provides empirical evidence to policy makers and regulators in South Asia.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines the relationship between voluntary disclosure and several attributes of corporate governance using data from the annual reports of companies listed on the Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) in 2011. The results obtained show statistically significant differences in levels of voluntary disclosure among listed companies in Bangladesh and show that companies in the financial sector disclose more voluntary information than non-financial companies. Findings from this analysis indicate a negative association between voluntary disclosure and percentage of equity owned by insiders. By contrast, firm size and profitability show significant positive relationship with voluntary disclosure. However, this study also shows that voluntary disclosure has no significant relationship with the percentage of equity held by institutions, board size, board audit committee and percentage of independent directors on the board of directors.

Download or read book Audit Report Lag written by Alim Al Ayub Ahmed and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Financial statements are prepared to provide useful information in making business and economic decisions. This information is important for users, especially investors as they use the statements to assess financial condition and performance of the related companies. However, this information is only useful when it is up to date and can be retrieved by investors on timely basis. It is contended that, when the time taken to produce the audit report increased, the usefulness of the information disclosed in company annual reports would decline. The delay in the production of audited financial statements not only affects the usefulness of the information but also the relevancy and reliability of the documents. Despite the importance of timely release of financial information, little has been done to investigate the cause of audit report lag-that is, the main reason of financial reporting delay, especially in developing countries like Bangladesh. Thus, the main purpose of this study is to identify factors that affect the timeliness of audit reports of the Bangladeshi listed companies. Based on a sample of 87 listed companies, the results of the study indicate that the time taken to conclude the audit work is around 101 days. The shortest is 14 days, while the longest is 272 days. The multivariate results show that type of auditor, financial company, profitability and company size significantly reduced the time taken to prepare audit report. On the other hand, type of audit report and leverage significantly increase the time taken to conclude the audit work.

The sample of the study consists of 123 companies with 861 firm year observations listed in the Dhaka Stock Exchange, Bangladesh for the year 2004 to 2010. To measure the extent of reporting self constructed checklists have been used which contains 97 items focusing on corporate social reporting, corporate environmental reporting and corporate sustainability reporting. The study found that level of total voluntary reporting in the annual reports of listed Bangladeshi companies is low. However, a gradual increase in the extent of voluntary reporting and its categories has been noticed over the period of study. Through regression analysis, the outcomes show significant positive relationship between voluntary reporting and firm size, firm's liquidity, percentage of independent directors and board structure while it has significant negative relationships with market categories, company age and number of independent directors. However, audit committee and board size have a non-significant relationship with voluntary reporting of the listed Bangladeshi companies over the examined period.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corporate disclosure is critical to the functioning of an efficient capital market, and all banks in Nigeria are required to hit the mark. Expanding on some of the themes he explored in his first book, Cash Management and Bank Profitability Under Conditions of Uncertainty, David Isiavwe, Ph.D., examines the disclosures that Nigerian banks make via financial statements, regulatory filings, and in other documents. His findings are based on a detailed study that assigned disclosure items a score of 1 if they were reported and a score of 0 if they were not reported. More than two hundred disclosure items were examined. He concludes that the size of banks, bank profitability, presence of international subsidiaries, and the financial expertise of board members significantly affect the disclosures made. The bigger and more profitable a bank isand the more financial background board members havethe more information Nigerian banks typically disclose to stakeholders. As a result, banks in Nigeria should grow their balance sheets and profitability for enhanced disclosure, and the government should create an enabling environment. Whether youre an investor, board member at an international bank, bank regulator, lecturer or student, youll find this book on banking a compelling read.
