The paper examines the impact of adoption of the eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) on the development of stock markets using a large international sample. Our analysis was based on panel estimation techniques for 18 countries for a period of 20 years from 2000 to 2019. Our analysis provided empirical evidence that the adoption of the XBRL has a negative impact on the development of stock markets. This implies that strict policies are needed for the successful adoption of the XBRL and also a mechanism is needed to ensure that stakeholders understand the value of the information provided by the XBRL formatted financial reports. Keywords: XBRL, development of capital markets, panel estimation techniques, cross-countries study

The purpose of this quantitative investigation was to examine whether performance (1-Year, 3-Year, and 5-Year annual returns) differences exist among fund categories by size and style (large-cap growth, large-cap blend, mid-cap growth, and small-cap growth) and fund ratings (5-Star and 4-Star) controlling covariate variables (standard deviation, turnover rate, and top-10 holding) of the United States equity MFs. Morningstar Inc. provided an insightful measure of fund performance annual returns and fund efficacy ratings. The study utilized the Analysis of Covariance and Multivariate Analysis of Covariance methods. The investigation revealed that the large-cap growth fund category produced superior annual returns than other fund families. The five-star-rated funds performed better than the four-star-rated funds. Turnover and top-10 percentage asset holdings had a statistically significant effect on fund annual performance. Investors and asset managers should consider the fund style, size, fund ratings for making short-term, medium, and long-term financial investment decisions.

Changes in the business environment requires that a company adopts a more adaptive strategy. A business strategy is not just about planning, but it needs to be supported with meaningful information. Management accounting complements a business strategy by providing crucial information, not just limited to cost efficiency, but customer satisfaction and quality management. However, the adoption of management accounting practices (MAPs) is believed to be influenced by strategy. Using the Miles and Snow (1978) business strategy typology model, this study examined the influence of business strategy on the adoption of MAPs, focusing on how the different types of business strategies used in organizations may influence the adoption of MAPs. Data was collected from manufacturing companies in Malaysia. The result showed that most Malaysian manufacturing companies utilized three major classifications of strategies, i.e., defender, prospector, analyzer, and only a few were classified as reactors. The result showed that the adoption level of both traditional and advanced MAPs is also high. Findings from this study indicated an influence of the defender and analyzer types towards adopting traditional MAPs, whereas the prospector type had influenced the adoption of advanced MAPs.

商业环境的变化要求公司采取更具适应性的战略。商业战略不仅仅是计划，还需要有有意义的信息支持。管理会计通过提供关键信息来补充业务战略，这些信息不仅限于成本效率，还包括客户满意度和质量管理。然而，管理会计实务(MAPs)的采用被认为是受战略的影响。利用Miles and Snow(1978)的商业战略类型学模型，本研究考察了商业战略对MAPs采用的影响，重点关注组织中使用的不同类型的商业战略如何影响MAPs的采用。数据是从马来西亚的制造公司收集的。结果表明，大多数马来西亚制造企业采用了三大类战略，即防御者、勘探者、分析者，只有少数被归类为反应器。结果表明，传统地图和先进地图的采用率都很高。本研究的结果表明，防御者和分析者类型对传统地图的采用有影响，而勘探者类型对先进地图的采用有影响。关键词:管理会计实务，经营战略，捍卫者，勘探者，分析者，反应器

With the increasing number of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Malaysia, most young entrepreneurs have started to use the internet as their business platform. However, the issue faced by these SMEs is maintaining their profit performance and long-term business sustainability. In maintaining their profit performance, entrepreneurs need to ensure they have product abundance, provide the best service delivery and offer the best price in the market. Hence, the objective of this research was to examine the relationship between an online business performance with the three main pillars of online business - product abundance, product delivery and product price. 210 registered SMEs located in the Klang Valley were chosen as the survey respondents. The result indicates that, product abundance and product price have a significant relationship with the performance, while product delivery had no significant relationship. This study proved that price of products offered by online business is crucial in maintaining customers’ satisfaction that is closely related to sales and performance. The findings of the study assists the entrepreneurs in developing their business while contributing to the nation’s economy when more potential SMEs’ businesses with an online capability are able to penetrate into the international market and compete globally.

The governance mechanism is different for each company. Therefore, companies need an indicator to measure the quality of governance and one of them is the ASEAN Scorecard. This indicator is used as a standard for measuring the quality of corporate governance in the ASEAN region. The corporate governance mechanism can be a factor in price changes in the stock market. Investors will react to any issues related to it. Price changes that occur on the stock market are a measure of the size of investors in investing because they can affect expected earnings. Although there is quite a lot of research related to it, research on earnings quality that discusses market response to price changes that occur due to the influence of governance mechanisms is limited. This study aimed to examine the effect of corporate governance on earnings quality using companies listed on the Financial Time Stock Exchange ASEAN Star (FTSE ASEAN Star). The study was conducted by examining financial ratios of companies using a cross-sectional data regression model with the Earnings Response Coefficient (ERC) as a proxy. The results showed that corporate governance affected ERC, especially on the disclosure of corporate governance and shareholder rights.

Drawing empirical evidence from a telecommunications firm in Sri Lanka this paper reports on a case study of how strategic management accounting (SMA) tools form a package. We deployed the qualitative method and case study approach, and in-depth face-to-face interviews with key personnel engaged in the practice of SMA in the firm and reviewed documents to collect data. Our findings indicated that the firm used a bundle of SMA tools relating to competitors, customers, cost, and performance, essentially as a package. Findings further suggested that the use of SMA tools as a package gives rise to crucial implications in the form of interactions and contradictions, which were managed through reconciliation statements, analysis of variances, discussions, meetings, and informal communications. This research contributes to the management accounting literature by developing novel insights on the notion of 'SMA tools as a package'. From a theoretical stance, it offers a framework to explore SMA tools as a package, capitalising on prior literature and field data from the case study firm. It also provides learning points to practitioners regarding the simultaneous use of a collection of SMA tools as a 'package' to support organisational decision making.

This study examined the effectiveness of regulatory capital in enhancing efficiency and credit growth and reducing bad loans in commercial banks listed on the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) from 2010 to 2019. Precisely, the impact of capital adequacy ratio (CAR) was studied on net interest margin (NIM), credit growth (CR) and non-performing loans (NPLs). The impact of capital adequacy regulations was assessed by retrieving data from financial statements analysis (FSA), Bank Financial statements and the World Bank website. Panel regression models including ordinary least squares (OLS), fixed and random effects under robust title were applied in this study. Results revealed that the implementation of stringent CAR plays the role of panacea and increases interest margin & credit growth and a reduction of NPL in Pakistani commercial banks. The study provides practical results for regulators to customize regulations on credit growth to reduce non-performing loans and maintain healthy growth of loans by not compromising on interest margins as well as maintenance of minimum capital adequacy ratios. With the high significance of stringent minimum capital adequacy for banks, the findings of the study are valuable for regulators, banks, auditors and investors, as capital adequacy ratio commonly plays the role of Panacea in terms of efficiency, credit growth and reduction in non-performing loans. Keywords: capital adequacy ratio, efficiency, credit growth, non-performing loans

The purpose of this paper was to examine the influence of personality traits (agreeableness, conscientious, neuroticism, openness and extraversion) on entrepreneurial intention and to assess the mediating role of educational support on the relationships between personality traits and entrepreneurial intention. A total of 1000 students at Universiti Teknologi MARA Cawangan Kelantan (UiTMCK) were randomly selected. Questionnaire was distributed to various faculties such as the Faculty of Business & Management, Faculty of Accountancy, Faculty of Computer & Mathematical Science, and Faculty of Information Management and Art & Design. A total of 800 responses were collected and 753 of the responses were useable for the final analysis using the structural equation model partial least square (SEM-PLS 3.0). The findings revealed that agreeableness, conscientious, neuroticism, and extraversion have a significant influence on entrepreneurial intention but openness showed an insignificant influence. Besides, this study also found that educational support did not mediate the relationships between agreeableness, conscientious, neuroticism, openness and extraversion.

Cryptocurrency (CCY) as a new key player in the currency system that has drawn the attention of scholars to examine its influence, relations and the opportunities that it may provide. However, a financial theoretical framework to connect CCY with financial theory is missing. This paper fills this gap by providing a review for the theoretical framework introduced in the literature to position CCY in investment and finance theories. This is done by studying the CCY literature and providing a critical feedback on the overall contributions in the area and possible venues for improvement. We report a need for a long-term analysis for CCY as this asset class is fairly new and sufficient data may not be available. Moreover, a better connection and linking with finance theories is required as it is significantly deficient. The promising potential of blockchain/ CCY stresses the need for interdisciplinary research including business, legal and information technology disciplines. In addition, the Covid-19 pandemic opens the door for further research to investigate the role of CCY as a hedge in the times of crises. Keywords: digital ledger technology, cryptocurrency bitcoin, finance theory, investment, fintech

The study aimed to emphasize the determinants of dividend policy in Sri Lankan firms. This study was conducted with 80 non - financial companies which were listed on Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE). The empirical research was focused on panel data analysis, and data was collected from annual reports for a five year period from 2013 to 2017. This study explored selected factors that influence dividend policy, including sales growth, leverage, firm size, profitability, EPS, liquidity, and risk. The panel data analysis employed pooled OLS, fixed - effect, and random - effect models. Based on the analysis, the fixed - effect model was thought to be the best fit for studying the factors that affect dividend policy. According to the outcome of fixed-effect model, among the seven input variables considered in this study, profitability, EPS, and risk were negatively linked to dividend policy. However, no significant relationship was found between dividend policy and sales growth, leverage, firm size, or liquidity. The findings contribute to the understanding that three parameters namely: profitability, EPS, and risk have been recognized as factors affecting dividend payouts in CSE’s listed companies. Hence, policymakers will be able to concentrate on the factors that influence shareholder wealth maximization. Keywords: profitability, EPS, risk, dividend payout
