Abstract
This study analyzes the mediating effect of internal control (IC) on corporate financial performance from an information economics perspective. The results show that effective IC has a significant mediating effect for institutional shareholding to improve financial performance. The mediating mechanism of IC is not reflected for institutional holdings other than Pressure-resistant institutions. In addition, the magnitude of the mediating effect of IC for Stable long-term institutional shareholding to improve financial performance is higher than that for Transactional short-term institutional shareholding. Finally, this study provides some recommendations regarding strengthening the synergistic mechanism of external and internal governance on improving financial performance.
