This study investigates the future existence of firms that are engaged in environment-oriented activities. Recently, strategic activities for firms’ sustainable growth has been critical for the environment. We use regression analysis to examine the relationship using firms listed in the Korea Stock Exchange market from 2014 to 2018. We use five aspects of environment-oriented activities: organization, management, strategy, performance, and shareholders, provided by the Korea Corporate Governance Service. The empirical results indicate that the firms participating in environment-oriented activities are likely to predict future cash flow, implying firms’ sustainability. We also claim that firms engaged in environment-oriented activities are likely to advertise their pro-environmental engagements, resulting in firms’ sustainable existence in the future. These findings are robust when we use the aggregate value as an alternative measurement. Our finding provides useful information for corporate practice. Active involvement in environmental activities can be used as a strategy that leads to superior performance. These efforts will contribute to enhancing the public image and improving green competitiveness. From the perspective of regulators, the non-financial information assessment supports the government’s eco-friendly policy that emphasizes environment-oriented activities. The results indicate that transparent information for external investors seeking to invest in firms are engaged in environment-oriented activities.

For many years researchers have been arguing on whether active investing is superior to passive investing by giving theoretical and empirical rationale underlying their beliefs. A desire to over-perform passive investing by utilising fundamentally-justified methodology has led to the development of numerous active and semi-active strategies, such as Fundamental indexation established in 2005 by Arnott et. al. In their research, the authors suggested constructing investment portfolios by assigning the weights of each asset concerning the values of its fundamental indicators. This approach has met heavily critique for the lack of theoretical rationale, by not being able to connect the values of selected fundamental indicators to the future performance of the portfolio. In this research, the thesis of passive investing superiority has been challenged by constructing an active investing strategy based on Fundamental Index described by Arnott et al. (2005) - Modified Fundamental Index and testing it on the UK stock exchange companies. The resulted portfolio showed superior performance compared to the cap-weighted index while also having lower risks and higher diversification. Also, I suggested some ideas for further research concerning MFI.

A company’s sustainability is generally determined by whether it is able to create a positive long-term cash flow. This paper investigates whether the predictive ability of cash flows and earnings in forecasting future cash flows differs depending on the foreign investors’ ownership. Based on firms listed in the Korea Stock Exchange market from 2000 to 2017, we find that earnings and cash flow components of financial statements enhance the predictability of future cash flow in the Korean stock market. Conversely, foreign investors showed a tendency to decide on investments based on operating cash flow instead of earnings when predicting future cash flow. These findings indicate that reliability towards earnings may fall since foreign investors’ concerns are on the prospects of earnings management. These results were strengthened by the addition of several more analyses including cluster analyses, consideration of information asymmetry and the chaebol governance.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between earnings management and chief executive officers’ (CEOs) compensation. Owing to the fact that earnings management does not have only opportunistic effects, but signaling effects, this study focuses on accruals quality to examine earnings management incentives. Thus, accruals quality is described against future cash flow. The empirical evidences suggest that a positive relationship between discretionary accruals and future cash flow provides predictive elements for earnings management, whereas a negative relationship between discretionary accruals and future cash implies to opportunistic elements for earnings management. Should there is no significant relationship between discretionary accruals and future cash flow, there will be no earnings management, and such a result suggests that incentives and managers’ performance in these firms differ. Design/methodology/approach The statistical population of this research consists of all listed companies on the Tehran Stock Exchange during 2009–2016. Panel data method is applied in order to estimate the research model. Findings Findings of the study show that there is no significant relationship between discretionary accruals and future cash flow in pharmaceutical and food industries, thus they have neither predictive nor opportunist earnings management, while the results evidence a negative significant relationship between discretionary accruals and future cash flow in machineries, automobile, mineral and chemical industries. Furthermore, it can be alleged that there is no significant difference between CEOs’ compensation in firms with opportunistic earnings management (OEM) and other types of earnings management. It shows that firms do not have appropriate plans for CEOs’ compensation. Moreover, the relationship between earnings management and stock return has been investigated in this study. We document that stock return is influenced by accruals quality and its components. In other words, stock return significantly differs in firms with OEM and firms without any kind of earnings management. Research limitations/implications The authors’ findings provide contributions; for managers, it is noticeable that stock markets have sufficient comprehension about financial statements and the undertaken procedures on them, resulting in a higher return base on fair information. For investors and regulators, using the findings, may have deeper understanding to distinguish between industries that are recognized as opportunistic and non-opportunistic, which, in turn, results in better decision and regulation. Originality/value Previous studies have been mostly investigated OEM, while the current study examines both signaling and opportunistic aspects of earnings management.

Islamic bank is a bank that collects funds from the public by using system profit sharing for every profit it gets and in carrying out its activities in accordance with Islamic law. Remembering that in Indonesia most of the population is Muslim, therefore they need a bank that works in accordance with Islamic law. Considering the number of percentages of Islamic banks in Indonesia are still small and cannot yet dominate the market share, therefore this research is expected to find out whether the merging of 3 Islamic banks (BRIS, BSM and BNIS) able to control market share or not. To see the synergy resulting from this merger is used methods Discounted Cash Flow - Free Cash Flow to Equity and Relative Valuation - Price to Book Ratio. The data used are the financial statements of each bank from 2014 to 2019 which are available on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) or the websites of each bank.

Generating positive long-term cash flow is vital for a firm’s sustainability. In this paper, we consider the earnings in the forecasting of future cash flow from a human resource investment of an internal control system. Using the firms listed in the Korea Stock Exchange market from 2014 to 2018, we find that the current earnings are the components of cash flow forecasting, and this relationship is genuine in a firm equipped with sufficient internal control personnel and their experiences. These findings indicate that earnings are reliable when forecasting future cash flow for a firm with a well-operated foundation.
