The article analyses the selection of profitability indicators for the evaluation of corporate financial performance. Both theory and practice, address a variety of profitability indicators, therefore, it is essential to understand the possibilities of using the information they provide, as well as to be able to identify potential reasons of indicator value deviations, and to assess the conditions causing the analysis performed based on these indicators to provide incomplete or unreliable information. The aim of the study is to analyse the main profitability indicators, their potential disadvantages, and possible issues in the analysis and interpretation of these indicators. Methods of logical and comparative analysis of the scientific literature, synthesis and generalisation, statistical data analysis and interpretation were used in this article. The results of the analysis show that there is no universal profitability indicator, that would cover all areas of company performance, because profitability indicators’ reliability, as well as objectivity of comparison to other entities, are influenced by national accounting standards, different prime cost calculation methods, long-term assets depreciation methods, reserve assessment, and other methods.

Managers who are responsible for the management of companies are faced with two important decisions - investment and funding. The right investment decisions and choice of funding sources are important because they affect the company's financial performance. The selection of the types of assets to be invested and the right types of financing sources result in optimal returns for the company. It reflects good company performance and future prospects. In addition, optimal return is a good sign for investors. Companies that perform well experience increase in the value of their firm. This study examined the effect of investment decisions and the selection of appropriate sources of funds on the performance of the company and the consequent impact on the firm value. The study was conducted in two parts. The first part examined the effect of investment decisions on long-term assets with long-term funding on the rate of return and firm value. The second part examined the effect of investment decisions on the company's short-term assets and funding for financial performance and firm value.

Design/Methodology/Approach: Financial performance measured by ROA, ROE, while leverage, short term leverage, long term leverage taken as independent variables, four variables were taken as control which are size, current ratio, sale growth, tangibility. On the basis of Hausman test, results of random effect model were found appropriate. Findings: ST and LT Leverage have a negative significant and insignificant effect on financial performance (ROA) respectively, moreover long term leverage has a positive and significant but short has a negative and insignificant effect on ROE. The results of the control variables showed that size has a negative and significant effect on ROA and ROE, whereas current ratio has insignificant and negative effect on ROA, ROE. Sale growth has a positive and insignificant effect on firms ROA and ROE. Tangibility has insignificant and negative effect on financial performance.

This study focuses on micro-level phenomena and time issues that have been traditionally neglected in both corporate governance and corporate social responsibility research. Drawing on agency theory concerning time-based managerial incentives (i.e. short term and long term), we investigate which managerial incentives for compensation drive the sensitivity of corporate social performance ( CSP) to corporate financial performance ( CFP). Using data for publicly listed Korean firms, we found a significant and positive relationship between CSP and CFP, with this relationship strengthened in firms with high managerial ownership but insignificant in those with high earnings-based compensation. Furthermore, we found that the interaction effects of CSP and high earnings-based compensation on CFP become positive in firms with high managerial ownership, indicating that the sensitivity between CSP and CFP is driven by long-term managerial incentives.

Purpose This paper aims to analyze the effect of data breaches – whose concerns and implications can be legal, social and economic – on companies’ overall performance. Design/methodology/approach Information on data breaches was collected from online compilations, and financial data on breached companies was collected from the Mergent Online database. The financial variables used were related to profitability, liquidity, solvency and company size to analyze the financial performance of the breached companies before and after the data breach event. Nonfinancial data, such as the type and the size of the breaches, was also collected. The data was analyzed using multiple regression. Findings The results confirm that nonmandatory information related to announcements of data breaches is a signal of companies’ overall performance, as measured by profitability ratios, return on assets and return on equity. The study does not confirm a relationship between data breaches and stock market reaction when measuring quarterly changes in share prices. Research limitations/implications The main limitation of the study relates to ratio and trend analyses. Such analyses are commonly used when researching accounting information. However, they do not directly reflect the companies’ conditions and realities, and they rely on companies’ released financial reports. Another limitation concerns the confounding factors. The major confounding factors around the data breaches’ dates were identified; however, this was not enough to assure that other factors were not affecting the companies’ financial performance. Because of the nature of such events, this study needs to be replicated to include specific information about the companies using case studies. Therefore, the authors recommend replicating the research to validate the article’s findings when each industry makes more announcements available. Practical implications To remediate the risks and losses associated with data breaches, companies may use their reserved funds. Social implications Company data breach announcements signal internal deficiencies. Therefore, the affected companies become liable to their employees, customers and investors. Originality/value The paper contributes to both theory and practice in the areas of accounting finance, and information management.

Purpose One of the main contemporary challenges in organisations is finding ways of measuring their intellectual capital (IC), and its effects on competitiveness and financial sustainability. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the influence of IC on the long-term financial performance of Brazilian companies. Design/methodology/approach Considering that previous studies have not been able to explain the role of IC in financial sustainability (measured by long-term corporate performance), this paper attempts to fill this gap by means of a quantitative, descriptive and applied study. Based on the theories of knowledge management, accounting and finance, the authors have undertaken a study of the companies listed on the BM&FBovespa, based on secondary data, using a multi-industrial cut, over the period 2005 to 2014, using descriptive and multivariate statistics. Findings The analysis supports three major conclusions: IC influences positively the profitability and corporate return of these companies; the more intangible-intensive public companies listed on the BM&FBovespa demonstrate higher financial sustainability than the others, in terms of profitability and corporate return, either individually, globally or by industry; and that IC helps increase financial performance, systematically, over time. Research limitations/implications Contributions of the following types were sought: theoretical (increasing an understanding of the effects of IC on business performance from a long-term perspective – an understanding that is still only incipient in the management literature); and empirical (increasing an understanding of the role of IC in the differentiation of companies, in organisational profitability and on the return on applications of resources). Practical implications The original proposal for the measurement of financial performance presented in this paper proved to be valid and consistent, complementing what is known about the subject under examination, contributing to the improvement of management theory and practice and providing a competitive benchmarking process. This can make it possible for company analysts or managers to evaluate their company in relation to its industry or its market as a whole by means of such indicators, individually or combined with other quantitative or qualitative metrics. Originality/value The results of this research reduce a gap in the management and accounting literature, as they shed light on the performance measurement process. In addition to the range and depth of the statistical tests carried out, attention should be drawn to the originality of the proposal presented in this paper. This facilitates the measurement of the effects of IC on financial performance through the selection and application of specific indicators for the assessment of the contribution of IC to organisational results.

The amount of sample is as many as 397 companies listing on BEI, using the technique of sampling sampling is a type of random sample selection of information obtained by using certain considerations or with the aim to obtain a representative sample in accordance with the criteria specified. Based on the results of testing with PLS note that IC (VAIC) does not positively affect the financial performance of the company. Hence, therefore, H1 is not acceptable. From the result of PLS testing indicates that IC (VAIC) positively has no effect on future company's financial performance. Hence it means that H2 is not proven. From the result of testing of PLS present proof that there is no positive influence of ROGIC to financial performance. From result of PLS test show that IC contribution to a future performance of company there is no difference according to type of company sector. So that means H4 is rejected.ey Words: Intangible Assets, Intellectual Capital, Corporate Financial Performance.
