Book Description
Most of investors are concerned about the return they will receive by investing in the company, especially after the global financial crises during which most of the investors earned negative returns on their investments. The return on investment tells us about the performance of the company in comparison to its competitors. This enables the managers, shareholders and potential investors to make informed decision based on the manager capacity to efficiently utilize financial resources of the company. Moreover, the return on investment also affects the future viability of the company. If a company is not able to generate enough returns from their investments in different projects, then it can be a threat to company‘s existence as it will not be in a position to sustain its operations due to mounting losses and debts. In this book, I examine the assessment of the market of the comparative profitability of all the announcements made in the field of R&D, Information Technology and Capital Expenditure by Australian listed firms over the period of 1990 to 2012.

Effective Company Disclosure in the Digital Age
Author: Gill North
Publisher: Kluwer Law International B.V.
ISBN: 9041168184
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 524
Book Description
Effective corporate reporting and disclosure are critical in financial markets to promote vigorous competition, optimal performance, and transparency. This book examines whether existing disclosure frameworks in eight countries with the world's most significant securities exchanges achieve these objectives, and then, drawing on extensive empirical findings, identifies the policies and practices that contribute most to improving the overall quality of listed company reporting and communication. Contending that public disclosure of listed company information is an essential precondition to the long-term efficient operation of financial markets, the book provides analysis of such issues and topics as the following: - arguments for and against mandatory disclosure regimes; - key principles of periodic and continuous disclosure regulation; - tensions between direct and indirect investment in financial markets; - assumptions concerning the need to maintain a privileged role for financial intermediaries; - intermediary, analyst, and research incentives; - protection of individual investors; - selective disclosure; - disclosure of bad news; - the role of accounting standards; - public access to company briefings; - long term performance reporting and analysis; and - company reporting developments. A significant portion of the book provides an overview of disclosure regulation and practice in the United States, Canada, Germany, the United Kingdom, Japan, Hong Kong, Australia, and Singapore. A highly informative survey looks at company reports, disclosures, and websites of large listed companies, including Microsoft, Citigroup, Teck Resources, Deutsche Bank, BP, Sony, PetroChina Company, BHP Billiton, and Singapore Telecommunications. The book discusses common disclosure issues that arise across jurisdictions, provides valuable insights on the efficacy of existing disclosure regulation and practice, and highlights the important principles, processes, and practices that underpin best practice company disclosure frameworks. It will be welcomed by company boards and executives and their counsel, as well as by policymakers and scholars in the areas of corporate, securities, banking and financial law, accounting, economics and finance.

Measuring Sustainability and CSR: From Reporting to Decision-Making
Author: Slobodan Kacanski
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3031269594
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
This book discusses reliability and other related issues, such as reporting and decision-making, pertinent to sustainability and corporate responsibility reporting practices. Investors, governments, and NGOs expect businesses to report their environmental and social performance. This information is used to legislate, regulate industries, and guide the investment of billions of dollars through pensions and mutual funds. But can we trust these measurements? In order to answer this question, the editors and contributors, all academic thought leaders from a variety of fields, offer a set of reflections on problems that various stakeholders might be exposed to. These problems are mainly due to a lack of standardized reporting practices and guidelines, and inconsistencies in measurements used for the valuation of corporate sustainability performance indicators. This book is of great interest to students, scholars, and stakeholders to help comprehend the importance of accounting on sustainability practices for decision-making and measures therein, but also the reliability risks involved in these measurements. Thus, it moves away from simply pushing for more sustainability reporting towards a more critical discussion of measurement issues and potential consequences of the aforementioned problems to different fields such as finance, marketing, or strategy.
