“…A systematic literature review is beneficial in identifying and evaluating large amounts of evidence published over a long time and often applied in recent literature reviews. [4], The review process consists of three main phases, namely (1) data collection, (2) selection of relevant studies, and (3) data synthesis. This sampling method in a systematic literature review is also called chain sampling, a sampling strategy where one case organically leads to another-the entire process of collecting and selecting data whose results are summarized in Figure 1.…”

“…Moreover, in hopes of discouraging and avoiding unethical behaviour within the company, the board of directors plays a key role in setting the right tone at the top through exemplifying sound leadership, good governance and ethical practices throughout the organisation (MCCG, 2021). Other than that, the board of directors plays a vital role in making sure that shareholders' interests are well and truly protected (Li et al, 2021). Hence, the board plays a huge part in ensuring that the company's obligation towards its shareholders are properly recognized and satisfied.…”

This paper examined the characteristics of board of directors that are effective in mitigating corporate frauds by critically reviewing findings from previous and recent studies. The board of directors' roles are first assessed in order to investigate their statutory duties and responsibilities, which will influence their governing actions to implement and enforce monitoring and disciplining measures to prevent misconduct and malpractice. The gender diversity of board members, corporate experience, independence, and frequency of board meetings are key board authorities, reputation, and influence in controlling fraudulent conduct in organisations. The establishment of specific law enforcement authorities and laws, specifically the Anti-Corruption Commission, the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing, and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities, the Penal Code, and the Companies Act, are critical components in ensuring that fraudulent activities are prevented.

“…It is strongly advised that the CEO should not also be the CP (IoDSA, 2016). The agency theory is an important theoretical basis for an arrangement where the roles of the CEO and the CP are separated (Li, Huang, Huo, & Li, 2021). The arguments for separating the roles of the CP and CEO are compelling given that separation provides boards with a structural basis with which to oversee management and limits potential asymmetries of information (Cunha & Rodrigues, 2018).…”

Purpose: This article examines the sincerity of two sets of narrative disclosures in the letters of chairpersons (CPs) and chief executive officers (CEOs) to stakeholders. The study sought to compare the level of optimism between the two letters and whether such optimism (as per its link to future performance) was sincere or not and the differences in the level of sincerity between the two letters.Design/methodology/approach: Chairpersons’ and chief executive officers’ letters as contained in annual reports for firms listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange over a 4-year period were analysed. Textual analysis software was used to measure optimism in 200 CPs’ and 200 CEOs’ letters. The level of optimism was compared using mixed-model repeated measures analysis of variance. Sincerity was operationalised as the positive association between the level of optimism and future performance and a negative association as evidence of impression management. Two-way linear fixed effect regression models were used.Findings: This study found that CPs’ letters were more optimistic than those of CEOs’. More specifically, the results point to impression management in both CPs’ and CEOs’ letters, with only CPs’ letters indicating a significant negative association.Practical implications: Relative to the CEOs, CPs may use more optimistic writing styles to sway stakeholders who are anticipating worse-than-expected future performance; readers should be aware of the potential consequences of such practices.Originality/value: The results provide support for the obfuscation hypothesis as a theoretical underpinning regarding CPs’ and CEOs’ letters. Overall, the results question the ability of such narratives to lessen agency costs.
