Corporate governance, voluntary disclosure and firm valuation relationship: evidence from top listed Indian firms

Abstract

PurposeThis study aims to examine the relationship between corporate governance (CG) voluntary disclosure (VD) and firm valuation (FV). Moreover, the study also investigates whether VD mediates the impact of CG on FV or not.Design/methodology/approachThe study is based on a panel data set of top 100 listed firms on Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) over the period of 2014–2018 and develops CG index and VD index (VDI) in order to capture both the constructs respectively. The author adopts suitable panel data model to examine the relationship between CG, VD and FV as well as indirect impact of CG on FV through mediation of VD. Further, the author uses instrumental variables regression model for robustness check.FindingsThe author's findings reveal significant positive impact of CG on FV. Likewise, VD also exhibits significant positive impact on FV. Notably, the interaction of CG and VD complements each other in making positive contribution towards FV. In addition, the author observes that VD partially mediates the impact of CG on FV. Specifically, the outcome suggests that CG apart from having direct impact on FV also influences the same through the mediation of VD. Moreover, as the direction of indirect impact coincide with direct impact, such indirect impact has complementary relationship with the direct impact, implying that when CG makes direct contribution towards improving FV, CG's contribution toward FV through mediation of VD also increases.Originality/valueTo the best of the author's knowledge, this is the first endeavor in the extant literature that examines the interaction performance impact of CG and VD. Further, the author also provides primary evidence on the mediating impact of VD in the relationship between CG and FV.

Does intellectual capital influence banks' efficiency? Evidence from India using panel data tobit model

“…Pearson's correlation analysis is presented in Table 5. Correlation analysis shows the bivariate relationship between the response variables and different explanatory variables and exhibits the degree of collinearity that exists between explanatory variables, since employment of classical linear regression model is based on the prime assumption of low level of collinearity between the explanatory variables/regressors (Saha, 2023). In Table 5, correlation coefficient value greater than 0.0862 is significant at 5% level.…”

The Influence of Work Culture on the Effectiveness of Internal Audit: A Qualitative Study

“…This is supported by Yanti (2022), who found that management support, competence, organizational culture, and professional ethics significantly influence internal audit effectiveness.
