Emerging post-financial crisis research in Africa recently suggest a strong linkage between poor corporate governance and the non-transparency in the financial institutions involved, leading to loss of investor confidence and other ramifying effects. This has reignited the need to progressively re-examine or rethink the gaps in existing financial regulatory framework in accordance with acceptable corporate governance standards. Our study reviewed and tested the influence of four voluntary disclosure attributes namely; a percentage of family members on boards, extant of independent committee of audit, existence of more important personalities and the proportion of non-dependent directors of CG, as promulgated by the Bank of Ghana. An adjusted relative disclosure was used in this study. We noted the prevalence of a committee of auditors is positively and significantly connected to a degree of deliberate disclosure, whereas, a higher number of family members on the board attenuates effective voluntary disclosure. The outcomes give empirical proof to back Ghana’s financial regulatory authorities.

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) has a long standing history of contributing to economic growth of nations. Nations invest and get invested, however, focus has always been on investing or been invested but the impact created as a result of the two on the economies have not yet been examined. Whether the impact of the difference creates ditch or bump get investigated in this research work, employing an extended Cobb Douglas function. Our estimation methods were Fully Modified Least Square (FMOLS) and Auto-regressive Distributed Lag Models (ARDL). We conducted a preliminary test to avoid spurious regression results by using ARDL Bound test, Augmented Dickey-Fuller and Phillips-Perron unit root test for cointegration and stationerity test. We found that some economies saw ditches with the difference whilst others experienced bumps, however, others felt no impact with the difference.

In the financial literature, risk-taking and investment-related decisions are among the most important decisions for companies that make optimal decisions in these two areas, optimally allocating resources and directing financial resources to economic investments and profitable projects for value creation. The purpose of the research is to investigate the relationship between audit quality and risk taking on value creation in firms listed in Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE). The research used five components of auditor's specialist, tenure, audit size, ownership concentration, and board of director’s independence to evaluate audit quality. The statistical population of the study includes the companies listed in TSE. Using a screening method, 610 firm-year data were selected for a 5-year period (2013-2017). This research is based on panel data and multivariate regression method. The research findings show that among these five components as well as the risk factor, only the variables of auditor tenure and ownership concentration have a significant effect on corporate value creation. The originality of the results of the research contributes to the auditing and capital market in TSE.
