The paper examines the influence of internal factors and external factors on liquidity of Vietnamese listed enterprises. The study uses robust regression techniques in the fixed effects linear panel data using data collected from companies listing on the stock market in Vietnam during 2008-2019, with a total of 6,700 observations. Liquidity of Vietnamese listed enterprises is measured by current assets to current liabilities, whereas firm size, capital adequacy, profitability, leverage are used as internal determinants. Further, economic activity, inflation rate, exchange rate, and interest rate are the external factors which are considered. The research results indicate that capital adequacy, return on equity, leverage, economic activity have a positive effect on firm's liquidity, whereas return on assets and exchange rate have a negative effect on firm's liquidity and firm size, inflation rate and lending rate have no correlation with firm's liquidity. Based on the research results, the author suggests that the firms should have optimum current ratio by balancing the current assets and current liabilities in order to avoid a situation of high liquidity or low liquidity. This research seeks to bridge a gap which is present in the body of literature on listed enterprise's liquidity in Vietnam. The findings may be useful for financial managers, investors, and financial management consultants.

Accounting policies are principles and practices by which an entity uses to recognize, measure and report economic transactions. Improper application of accounting policies can lead to misrepresentation of firms' financial position and performance which consequently results in incorrect accounting information to the users. This paper aims to investigate the factors influencing the choices of accounting policies in small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Vietnam by reviewing relevant literature to build a research model. The research model comprises of one dependent variable that is income-decreasing accounting procedures and six independent variables namely the firm size, financial leverage, incentives, auditor, accountants, and tax policies. After this, the authors collected primary data from more than 200 questionnaires sent to directors and chief accountants of the SMEs for the period 2018 to 2019. We then used Ordinary Least Squares regression method (OLS) to analyze the data. The results showed that four factors influenced selection of accounting policies in which auditors are associated with income-increasing accounting policies; and there are three factors associated with income-decreasing accounting policies which are, company size, tax and accountant. Especially, the research results indicate that company size has a significant influence on the selection of accounting policies in the SMEs. Based on the results, we propose instructive suggestions for regulators and lawmakers improve choices of accounting policies in the SMEs.

In recent years there has been an increasing amount of attention paid to outosourcing of information systems (IS) functions in organizations. The changing and more strategic role of outsourcing in business firms has been given much coverage in academic and trade publications. Trying to remain competitive and up-to-date in the rapidly developing world of computer technology is becoming a financial burden to many organizations in fields such as banking and financial services, health care, and manufacturing. Hiring outsiders to handle part or even all of its information services helps an organization provide better services and maintain a competitive advantage. This paper attempts to provide a benchmark of current IS outsourcing utilization in Korea. A detailed descriptive analysis of survey responses from 78 Korean companies indicates the usage, length of experience, expenditure of outsourcing, and kinds of IS functions being outsourced. The study also analyzes the effects (strategic, economic, and technological) of IS outsourcing with respect to the length of experience, expenditure of outsourcing, and kinds of IS functions being outsourced As a result of the analysis there are significant differences in the strategic, economic and technological effects of IS outsourcing with respect to the expenditure of outsourcing, kinds of IS functions being outsourced and firm size.

The existing evaluation systems based on financial performance summarize the information about past results and focus on short-term performance, and so they have the limits to explain the future value of firms and to make a long-term strategic performance. By this reason, as a way to increase the future value, the development of the integrated performance evaluation system with which we may manages financial performance and knowledge assets together has been required recently. This study puts together various researches for the evaluation of knowledge assets, and analyzes the existing studies for the domestic medical devices industry and the tendency of introduction for business practice. Under this analysis, this study develops the knowledge asset evaluation indexes for medical devices industry by using the Balanced Score Card (BSC) of Kaplan & Norton(1992), and then presents the evaluation model by applying the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) of Saaty(1980) to get the weight for each index. With the final evaluation model, we can calculate the evaluation score combined with both the quantitative indexes and the qualitative indexes at once.

본 연구는 우레나라 기업 및 산업의 환노출을 측정하고 이를 기업의 특성변수로 설명하려는 것이다. 기존 연구가 주별 및 월별 자료를 사용해서 특정 산업에 국한했던 것과는 달리 금융업을 포함한 전 산업을 대상으로 하였으며, 일별 자료를 사용해 이를 분석하였다. 환노출 추정을 위해, 1987년 1월부터 1997년 6월까지 상장된 우리나라 기업 및 산업의 일별 수익률을 종속변수로 하고 대미달러의 원화 환율 및 대엔화의 원화 환율, 달러대 엔화 환율 등의 변화율을 독립변수로 하는 모형을 설정하였으며, 이를 기존에 논의된 여러 모형을 통해 측정하였다. 측정결과 이자율을 차감하고 종속변수의 1차자기상관을 고려한 GARCH(1,1)모형의 설명력이 높았다. 우리나라 산업중에서는 섬유제품, 펄프 종이, 자동차판매 및 도매, 숙박 운송 등에서 유의한 환노출을 보였으며, 개별기업의 경우에는 1987년 1월부터 1990년 7월까지 대미달러 환율에 많이 노출되었으나, 1990년 8월부터 1994년 7월까지는 상대적으로 노출된 기업의 수가 적었다. 따라서 우리나라 산업 및 기업은 환노출에 있어서 산업효과와 기간효과를 갖고 있음을 알 수 있다. 기업특성변수와 환노출과의 관계를 분석한 결과는 일관되게 유의한 변수는 발견되지 못하였으며, 다만 특정 기간별 그리고 대미달러환율에 대해 기업규모와 금융비용부담률 등의 변수들이 유의하게 반응하고 있는 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구는 부실기업의 갱생에 있어 중요한 요인인 청구권자들 사이의 정보불균형 및 이해갈등 문제에 초점을 맞추어 부실채권 정상화를 위하여 채권자주도로 시도되는 M&A의 성공여부에 영향을 미치는 요인을 실증적으로 분석하였다. 로지트(logit)모형에 의하여 M&A의 성공여부를 회귀분석한 결과, '청산가치비율'(+)은 1%의 유의수준에서, '구경영진 부실경영책임여부 가변수'(-)와 '파산이후 순이익 정리계획안 계획대비 달성률'(+)은 5%의 유의수준에서 관련성을 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 '광고연구개발비율'(+) 및 '파산이후 매출액증가율'(+)은 1%의 유의수준에서 관련성을 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 채권자가 주도하는 M&A의 성공요인으로 파산전후 청구권자들 사이의 정보불균형 문제가 적은 부실기업일수록 그리고 '광고연구개발비율'이 높은 부실기업으로서 상대적으로 무형적인 자산의 가치가 높고, 전문적인 제품을 생산하는 기업은 M&A의 성공 가능성이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 부실기업에 대한 부채조정 등 재무구조의 변화에 따라 '파산이후 매출액증가율'이 높은 기업일수록 M&A의 성공가능성이 높다고 추론할 수 있을 것이다 그러나 '담보권 있는 금융기관 수 비율'(+), '금융비용부담률'(-)과 '대주주지분율'(-) 등은 비유의적인 것으로 나타나서 부실기업의 부채조달내역의 우선권 구조, 재무구조 불안정성 및 소유구조 등은 M&A의 성공여부와 관련성이 거의 없는 것으로 나타났다.

Insurers face increasing demands for cyber liability; entailed in part by a variety of new forms of risk of data breaches. As data breach occurrences develop, our understanding of the volatility in data breach counts has also become important as well as its expected occurrences. Volatility clustering, the tendency of large changes in a random variable to cluster together in time, are frequently observed in many financial asset prices, asset returns, and it is questioned whether the volatility of data breach occurrences are also clustered in time. We now present volatility analysis based on INGARCH models, i.e., integer-valued generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity time series model for frequency counts due to data breaches. Using the INGARCH(1, 1) model with data breach samples, we show evidence of temporal volatility clustering for data breaches. In addition, we present that the firms' volatilities are correlated between some they belong to and that such a clustering effect remains even after excluding the effect of financial covariates such as the VIX and the stock return of S&P500 that have their own volatility clustering.

The purpose of this study is to examine the level of aggressive tax planning (ATP) among companies listed in the Access, Certainty, Efficiency (ACE) Market of Bursa Malaysia. On top of that, this study also investigates the relationship between company characteristics, ethnicity, and ATP. This study uses a balanced pooled sample of 105 firm years-observations for the period from 2014 to 2018. These samples were selected to provide new insight into this market and to explore the attitude of small firms toward ATP in Malaysia. The data was retrieved from DataStream and the downloaded annual reports. The finding shows that profitability and financial distress have a significant relationship with ATP. Other variables including size, capital intensity, inventory intensity, leverage, and ethnicity, were not determinants of ATP. The result in this study may assist the reader in understanding the nature of companies in the ACE market, particularly on its behavior toward tax planning. A strict requirement is needed to be adopted in the sample selection process, thus limiting the sample size. Further, since the previous study focused on large companies, the discussion of this paper will provide new insight into the nature of tax planning within the small- and medium-sized companies in Malaysia.

Intellectual capital is becoming a crucial factor for a firm's long-term profit and performance in the knowledge-based economy as more firms identify their core competence as invisible assets rather than visible assets (Itami, 1987). The company was encouraged to measure financial and non-financial factors, including the customer perspective groups, the internal business process, learning and growth perspective, then to link all these measurements in a coherent system. This paper seeks to investigate the influence of intellectual capital elements on company performance, as well as the relationship among intellectual capital elements from a cause-effect perspective. Resource-Based View (RBV) considers intellectual capital as resource and capability to sustain competitive advantage on company performance. The partial least squares approach is used to examine listed banks in Indonesia Stock Exchange for year 2017-2019. Results show that human capital directly has positive influences on innovation capital, customer capital, and process capital. Innovation capital has positive, but less significant influence on process capital, which in turn influences customer capital. Human capital and process capital also influence customer capital. Finally, customer capital contributes to performance. This study helps management to identify relevant intellectual capital elements as competitive advantage and their indicators to enhance business performance.
