This paper had two main objectives, with the first being to examine the direct impact of concentration and managerial ownership on firm performance (ROA) among non-financial firms in Oman for the years 2010 until 2014. Secondly, this paper aimed to examine the moderating impact of audit quality on the ownership concentration, managerial ownership-firm performance relationship of the same sample. The study made use of leverage as the control variable. Moreover, in order to test the direct relationship between independent variables and dependent variable, this study used OLS regression. Aside from this, the study focused on the non-financial sector owing to the distinction between the structure and regulations between the two sectors (financial and non-financial sector) for the years 2012-2014. More importantly, this study revealed that the ownership concentration has a positive and significant effect on ROA. In the same path, the managerial ownership has a positive but insignificant association with ROA. Moreover, the study failed to find a moderating effect of the audit quality on the relationship between ownership concentration and managerial ownership, and firm performance of Omani companies. Lastly, the study listed and discussed the study limitations and recommendations for future studies.

This study investigated the influence of voluntary disclosure (VD) and Corporate Governance (CG) on firm performance in the non-financial sector of Pakistan. The sample size consists of 300 firm-year observations of a non-financial sector of Pakistan for the year 2002 to 2016. The results indicate that several elements of VD and CG mechanisms are important for better firm performance. The Board of Independence and disclosure of product information show a positive and significant impact on Earning per share and Return on Asset (ROA). However, CEO duality has a significant but negative association with firm performance. While board size and disclosure of future strategy show no effect on firm performance.

The current study aims at exploring the relationship of CSR practices with firm performance (FP) in the non-financial sector of the Pakistan stock exchange (PSX). For this purpose, the study uses sample data of 231 companies listed at PSX. The study uses “donation amount to sales” as a proxy variable for CSR practices and return on equity (ROE), return on assets (ROA) as the proxies of firm performance. The models are tested using a panel regression estimation technique with a fixed effect method, as suggested by Hausman test. The results show that CSR is significantly positively related to ROE. Findings indicate that investment in CSR brings positive change in a firm‟s profitability which ultimately leads to an increase in the shareholder‟s wealth.
