Abstract:
The incorporation of new businesses in Canada is remarkably cheap and easy, both under the Canada Business Corporations Act and under the provincial corporations statutes. The benefits conferred on shareholders by incorporation are obvious and well known, particularly the advantage of limited liability. Easy incorporation however also imposes significant burdens on the corporation's voluntary and involuntary creditors if the corporation cannot meet its liabilities. The author examines the various statutory and judicially created techniques for restraining the abuse of the corporate form, and finds them seriously deficient. Nevertheless, he sees no likelihood of the legislature reversing a century old trend either by making incorporation much more difficult or by denying directors or shareholders in closely held corporations the protection of limited liability. He concludes therefore that ''second order'' remedies are much more realistic, even if less efficient. He also recommends several new remedies, including the requirement that all corporations must file a copy of their financial statements in a public office and that directors will be held personally responsible for the corporation's debts if the corporation continues to trade when it is clear that it is insolvent and likely to remain so.

Abstract:
Purpose: This study aims to examine and analyze the effect of foreign ownership, foreign directors, transfer pricing, and multinational corporation on tax avoidance. Design/methodology/approach: The population of this study is multinational corporations listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the period 2016-2019. Using the purposive sampling technique, the sample obtained according to the criteria is 280 observations. Data analysis was using eviews 9 software based on panel data. Findings: The results showed that foreign ownership had no significant effect on tax avoidance. Furthermore, foreign directors have no significant effect on tax avoidance. Likewise, transfer pricing as a proxy for related parties transactions also has no significant effect on tax avoidance. In contrast, the multinational corporation positively and significantly affects tax avoidance. Research, Practical & Social implications: Foreign ownership, foreign director, and transfer pricing become the primary basis factors for tax avoidance of multinational corporations in Indonesia. Originality/value: This study provides an academic contribution regarding the factors that influence tax avoidance by multinational corporations.

Abstract:
Purpose – Directors play a hard-to-quantify but critical role in the success of corporations. Outside directors supplement the firm-specific knowledge of inside directors by providing expertise and monitoring. Prior research finds that outside directors who are commercial bankers can be both beneficial and costly to large, non-financial corporations. Smaller, bank-dependent corporations should benefit more than large firms from the services banker directors provide, but may also be more prone to the costs they can impose. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the influence of bank dependency on appointments of banker directors. Design/methodology/approach – The author estimates models relating the probability of a first-time banker-director appointment to proxies of bank dependency on data for a matched sample of firms with and without banker directors drawn from a size-representative sample of Compustat firms. Findings – Bank-dependent firms are less likely to appoint bankers as directors than bank-independent firms. Bank-dependent firms are also less likely to appoint bankers whose employers are firms’ creditors (i.e. affiliated bankers). Bank-dependent and bank-independent firms are indistinguishable in their probabilities of appointing unaffiliated bankers as directors. Practical implications – Bank-dependent firms with unexploited growth opportunities appear unable to ameliorate their financial constraints by having banker directors. Appointing retired bankers to boards may give firms the benefits of banker directors without the costs. Originality/value – This paper is the first to: document the prevalence of banker directors at smaller corporations; present econometric evidence on banker-director appointments at firms ranging from small to large; and identify bank dependency as a factor limiting appointments of affiliated banker directors.

Abstract:
The power to purchase its own shares by a corporation constitutes the most remarkable innovation in recent company legislations throughout Canada. This article deals primarily with the power to acquire shares under the Canada Business Corporations Act and the exercise of this power, subject to various conditions relating to the corporation's solvency and directors' duties. In a wider perspective, the rights of creditors of the corporation are analysed and the clear transition from a concept of the corporate capital as a trust fund for creditors to a concept of capital as a practical planning device emerges from the analysis.

Abstract:
This paper looks at the insurance demand of a firm’s directors and officers using a sample of Canadian corporations (excluding firms from the financial services and mining sectors) from 1993-1999. More to the point, we study the demand for directors’ and officers’ insurance. Contrary to the financial distress theory of hedging, our results suggest that larger corporations are more likely to purchase D&O insurance. On the other hand, insurance is more likely when the firm is financially weak. Firms are also more likely to purchase D&O insurance when there are few outsiders on the board of directors and when the board members have an important financial stake in the corporation, suggesting that D&O insurance is yet another tool for managerial entrenchment. Surprisingly, being listed on a stock exchange in the United States does not seem to have an impact on the demand for D&O insurance, contrary to previous results

Abstract:
Investor litigation is an increasingly vexatious field of law. Nearly every time a significant change of control or corporate ownership occurs, plaintiffs’ attorneys file standardized complaints to set in motion class action suits. Ultimately, the settlements shareholders receive fail to achieve the practical effects that parties on both sides desire. Shareholders may receive pennies on the dollar of what they allege was lost by corporate wrongdoing, and, in some cases, shareholders may not receive monetary recovery as the settlement requires only that the corporation to make changes to its governing documents. These suits distract directors and management from the core operational aspects of their business. Corporations will pay enormous fees to attorneys and experts to defend against the suits. Often times, as a result of director and officer liability insurance, neither corporations nor directors pay damages out of pocket, making it unlikely that the suits serve a deterrent function, one of the principal policy goals behind allowing for such suits.

In order to do this research, the information of the companies in financial statements and the reports of the Tehran stock exchange have been used. For the measurements of the earnings smoothing John's adjusted model has been used and for the measurement of the concentration of company's ownership "Herfindal" and "Hireshman" has been used. The choice of the companies is randomly and the confidence interval has been considered %95 .For research , observe 435 corporation- year and time period is 2005 – 2010. The results of the research reveal don't meaningful relationship of non executive directors and discretionary accrual accounting and the relationship is a positive. In companies which the concentration of ownership is high, management and earnings manipulation is also high and has a meaningful relationship and negative with these variables. The segregation of the companies into government and private causes to different the results. In private companies the concentration of the ownership is little and the statistical mean of discretionary accrual accounting items is low and non executive directors ratio is low but in governmental corporations statistical mean of discretionary accrual accounting item is high and ratio of corporations that has internal auditing is high to private corporations . Further more almost of non executive directors in Iranian corporation have nonfinancial technique and knowledge and ratio of them in board corporation is higher than executive directors.

Abstract:
The times and business complexity have encouraged the important role of corporations in various aspects of life. On the other hand, corporations also have the potential to violate the law, including corruption. Corruption is a complex issue that has a major impact on the environment, economy and community welfare. In some cases, corruption offenses are committed by corporations, so questions arise about corporate criminal liability and law enforcement. Corporate criminal liability is a relatively new concept in Indonesia. This concept allows corporations to be convicted for criminal offenses committed by the management, directors, or employees of the corporation. Based on this relatively new concept, the regulation of corporate criminal liability and law enforcement still raises questions and legal uncertainty.

The study used both structured / closed ended and unstructured / open ended questionnaires to collect data. Both qualitative and quantitative was analyzed. Inferential statistics was employed whereby correlation and multiple linear regression was used to establish a relation between and among the studied variables. A statistical Package for social sciences (SPSS) was used to analyze data. The analyses data was presented graphically by visual aids such as Figures and Tables. Results: The findings obtained concluded that, organizational size, structure formalization, structure complexity and structure centralization affected the financial performance of commercial state corporations. Also it was establish that the number of non-executive directors affected the performance of the commercial state corporation is a challenge the board faced. It was further deduced that the organizational structure affected the financial performance of the commercial state corporations. Unique Contribution to Theory, Policy and Practice: The study recommends that the board size and composition be considered since they affect the financial performance of the commercial state corporations, the number of non-executive directors needs to be selected well, the board needs to comprise of well-educated people since they are actively involved in shaping Commercial state corporations’ strategy, on-executive directors be trained on internal corporate governance mechanisms, and also ownership concentration needs to be reduced to avoid few people controlling the financial performance of the organization.

Company directors have been in existence for more than four hundred years. In the past, they were considered to be a necessary part of corporate existence, and were usually appointed to a board by the CEO or chairman. However, they were usually mates from the 'boys club' and gained their position from whom they knew, and not from what they were capable of contributing. The appointment of independent directors became more normal, as shareholders looked for a way to wrest control back from management. But what independent directors really do and why they are there is not widely understood. A review of the literature relative to independent directors has identified a gap in the knowledge. This gap is the role of the independent director when considered from a commercial aspect; that is, those who observe or write about independent directors. --This thesis has attempted to generate a theory of the role of the independent director through a review of the literature and a subsequent series of interviews. Grounded theory was the chosen methodology for analysing the data and formulating a theory of the role because it allows the researcher to ground the theory in the data instead of establishing a hypothesis and testing it. --The resulting theory is more complex than it first appears. It was found that the primary role of the independent director is to improve the performance of the board and the company. This role is impacted by a number of factors, the two most influential being the information that is available to the independent directors, and the position of the company. This second factor is defined as the size of the company, where it is in its life cycle, and whether it is experiencing any significant change. --These findings enable a number of recommendations to be made to improve policy and practice, recognising the impact of information and company position on the ability of independent directors to contribute positively. It also raises several areas of further study to continue to refine the understanding of the role of the independent nonexecutive director in Australia. These include, among others, investigating the role from other viewpoints such as the board chair or company secretary, or researching the link between company position and information available to independent directors.

Abstract:
This research uses a grounded theory approach to explore the term ‘experienced Board Member’ with research into the learning experiences which bridge the gap between an inexperienced Board Member and an experienced Board Member. The purpose of this research is to identify repeatable/reportable patterns which could be utilised and developed to improve Board Member learning. Data is derived from interviews with nine (current and past) New Zealand Board Members. A common set of attributes of an experienced Board Member emerged from the study. The linking theme of the attributes is that they support the process of reaching a quality agreement or decision. The results of this study suggest that an experienced Board Member is perceived to be a Board Member who contributes to achieving a quality agreement and decision, using attributes associated with: • Contribution to Board processes • Understanding and Knowledge (governance and business acumen) • Internal Drivers • Making Hard Decisions. Formative Board Member learning is associated with developing self confidence, understanding what content is perceived to be (or not to be) relevant, understanding the Boardroom protocols and processes, and understanding the responsibility of the role. The primary mechanism in Board Member learning is observation. Board Member learning was most often the development of tacit understanding through observing events internal to the Board. Learning events for Board Members are likely to arise as part of the dismissal/departure of the CEO or from internal Board dissension. The results also indicate that current NZ Board Members are unlikely to have had any formal preparation for the Board Member role, and learning for the role is likely to be ad-hoc and vicarious. This research suggests that the successful development of experienced Board Members will require a fundamental change in the perception and practice of Board Member development within organisations and at Board level. A Capability and Maturity Model is presented as a framework for assessing an organisation’s capability and maturity in terms of the development of its Board Members. This study builds on corporate governance theory by identifying attributes considered indicative of an experienced Board Member. This study adds to Learning Organisation and Knowledge theories by providing examples and comment on the place of Communities of Practice, and knowledge development within the development of Board Member experience.

Abstract:
AbstractLarge corporations are currently facing critical challenges after many financial crises and scandals, which led to a loss of public confidence. In addition, inequality, climate change, and new technologies create systemic risks for corporations. In that context, economic and legal scholars, as well as directors and regulators, extensively debate issues revolving around the “profit” of corporations as well as about the “purpose” of companies, a notion that is different from their mere “object.” In our view, the theory of the purpose-driven company could help overcome the never-ending dispute between the partisans of shareholders’ wealth maximization and the promoters of stakeholder governance. To materialize and implement the company’s purpose, missions, and core values, the board of directors (in engagement with shareholders) shall assess its impact on a broader social and economic environment. The identification and expression of the purpose will facilitate the company’s value creation and long-term business sustainability. The board of directors shall further take into consideration all stakeholders as well as define and identify the main purpose recipient (customers, employees, environment, etc.). Within this frame, the board of directors will act as both a corporate purpose guardian and a mediator of the various (potentially) conflicting interests held by the different constituencies.

Abstract:
AbstractThis chapter provides an overview of the legal framework for social enterprises in Spain and portrays the benefit-corporation phenomenon from the perspective of the Spanish law. The former is presided over by Ley 5/2011, de 29 de marzo, de Economía Social (LES), the main conceptual and policy aspects of which are discussed in this chapter. On the latter, since benefit corporations are not regulated in Spain, the contribution draws up their identifying elements from both a comparative methodology and a failed proposal for a general interest private limited liability company (S.L.I.G.). We consider benefit corporations and their applicable regime within the everlasting debate on the role of profit—both objective and subjective—as part of the cause of the company contract. Against this background, this chapter provides three theoretical models for benefit corporations under the Spanish company law and assesses how they may be adapted into the articles of association. We then examine how core finance and governance aspects may be touched, namely, the distribution of profits, directors’ duties, and shareholder protection mechanisms. The chapter supports the view that benefit corporations may be lawfully formed de lege lata under the Spanish companies and social enterprise law, although significant regulatory amendments are advisable to smoothen the process.

Abstract:
AbstractIn 2020, Peru became the third country in Latin America to adopt the benefit corporation model into its legal system, following its neighbors, Colombia and Ecuador, in proposing a legal model to identify purpose-driven companies. The Peruvian “sociedad de beneficio e interés colectivo” or a BIC company has not only been influenced by the U.S. Model Benefit Corporation Legislation but also by its legal exports, such as the Italian società benefit, the Colombian BIC law, and the Argentinean BIC draft bill. The Peruvian benefit corporation legal ecosystem consists of several newly approved legal documents, such as the law itself, its regulation, and the related reporting guidelines. The law allows the corporate models regulated by the Corporate Act to include three main features: (i) a specific social and environmental purpose in the bylaws; (ii) higher duties and protection for managers and directors; and (iii) transparency and reporting requirements. Additionally, the law grants supervisory power to the Peruvian Competition Authority and oversight of the legal ecosystem to the Peruvian Ministry of Industry. The regulations and reporting guidelines detail these three main features, particularly regarding the companies’ purpose and the transparency and reporting requirements. Only a year after the introduction of the BIC legal ecosystem in Peru, there is an on-going public-private effort to implement the law widely for corporations to actively contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals.

Abstract:
Corporate social responsibility (CSR), or responsible business conduct as a tool of sustainable development (green transition) and respect for human rights in the economy is getting more and more legally based. In different countries, the legal levers of CSR are very diverse; since this creates unequal conditions in the global market, the harmonization of the CSR related rules is essential. Important for the legal regulation of CSR is the proposal for the EU Corporate sustainability due diligence directive, CSDDD); among other things, the proposal expands the due diligence of directors from acting in the best interest of the company, also to consider the risks that threaten sustainable development and human rights, and in this regard sharpens corporate liability for damages. Key shifts in CSR can only be ensured by binding corporate law rules on directors’ due diligence and corporate damage liability for sustainability and human rights violations. The integration of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors into investments is an increasingly common feature of modern CSR concept. Only environmental and labor legislation alone are not sufficient for the implementation of sustainable development and CSR. Interventions in corporate legislation are needed. In the EU, the implementation of CSR has so far been voluntary; only sustainability (non-financial) reporting is mandatory. The proposal of the CSDDD is therefore ground-breaking, as it intervenes for the first time in corporate legislation in favor of sustainable development, namely in regulating the sustainability civil liability of companies and the due diligence of directors. However, political debates between the EC, the Council and the EP due to differences in views about the latter are still ongoing. Slovenia (the government or Parliament) must finally adopt the National Plan for the enforcement of corporate social responsibility, as stipulated by the EU Commission already in the Revised Strategy 2011. In the legislation governing the operation of corporations (ZGD-1), Slovenia must establish the obligation of sustainable due diligence, to determine the duty of adopting a social responsibility strategy in every company and to determine, as a duty of care of directors, also the consideration of sustainability goals and CSR.

Abstract:
The erosion of trust has put pressure on corporations to improve their performance. Due to widespread corporate scandals and failures around the world, there has been a renewed interest in the effect of corporate governance on firm performance. This study investigated the effect of corporate governance dimensions particularly board size and ownership concentration on performance and market share of selected listed companies in Nigeria. The study utilized secondary data for fifteen companies from the Financial Services, Consumer Goods and Industrial Goods Sectors of the Nigerian Stock Exchange for the period of 2014 to 2019. For data analysis, the study adopted the ordinary least multiple regression analysis. The study found that as board size and ownership concentration increase, ROE decreases. However, the study found that, to a significant extent, market share of listed firms in Nigeria increases as both board size and ownership concentration increase. This study concluded that board size and ownership concentration do not have significant effect on return on equity (ROE) of listed firms in Nigeria. Also, it concluded that board size and ownership concentration has significant effect on market share of listed firms in Nigeria. Although without significant effect, the study specifically found that as board size increases, return on equity (ROE) of listed firms in Nigeria decreases and as ownership concentration increases, ROE of listed companies in Nigeria also decreases.The study recommended that the board of the companies should always be of a size relative to the scale of its operation, allow for diversity and formation of necessary board committees in order to improve performance. Also, board of directors should ensure that ownership concentration is not too high even as board of the companies needs to ensure that they continuously subject themselves to ownership diversity and board size appropriateness in order for the business to be profitable and increase market share.

Lazonick, William. Investing in Innovation: A Policy Framework for Attaining Sustainable Prosperity in the United States. Institute for New Economic Thinking Working Paper Series, March 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.36687/inetwp182.

Full text
Abstract:
“Sustainable prosperity” denotes an economy that generates stable and equitable growth for a large and growing middle class. From the 1940s into the 1970s, the United States appeared to be on a trajectory of sustainable prosperity, especially for white-male members of the U.S. labor force. Since the 1980s, however, an increasing proportion of the U.S labor force has experienced unstable employment and inequitable income, while growing numbers of the business firms upon which they rely for employment have generated anemic productivity growth. Stable and equitable growth requires innovative enterprise. The essence of innovative enterprise is investment in productive capabilities that can generate higher-quality, lower-cost goods and services than those previously available. The innovative enterprise tends to be a business firm—a unit of strategic control that, by selling products, must make profits over time to survive. In a modern society, however, business firms are not alone in making investments in the productive capabilities required to generate innovative goods and services. Household units and government agencies also make investments in productive capabilities upon which business firms rely for their own investment activities. When they work in a harmonious fashion, these three types of organizations—household units, government agencies, and business firms—constitute “the investment triad.” The Biden administration’s Build Back Better agenda to restore sustainable prosperity in the United States focuses on investment in productive capabilities by two of the three types of organizations in the triad: government agencies, implementing the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, and household units, implementing the yet-to-be-passed American Families Act. Absent, however, is a policy agenda to encourage and enable investment in innovation by business firms. This gaping lacuna is particularly problematic because many of the largest industrial corporations in the United States place a far higher priority on distributing the contents of the corporate treasury to shareholders in the form of cash dividends and stock buybacks for the sake of higher stock yields than on investing in the productive capabilities of their workforces for the sake of innovation. Based on analyzes of the “financialization” of major U.S. business corporations, I argue that, unless Build Back Better includes an effective policy agenda to encourage and enable corporate investment in innovation, the Biden administration’s program for attaining stable and equitable growth will fail. Drawing on the experience of the U.S. economy over the past seven decades, I summarize how the United States moved toward stable and equitable growth from the late 1940s through the 1970s under a “retain-and-reinvest” resource-allocation regime at major U.S. business firms. Companies retained a substantial portion of their profits to reinvest in productive capabilities, including those of career employees. In contrast, since the early 1980s, under a “downsize-and-distribute” corporate resource-allocation regime, unstable employment, inequitable income, and sagging productivity have characterized the U.S. economy. In transition from retain-and-reinvest to downsize-and-distribute, many of the largest, most powerful corporations have adopted a “dominate-and-distribute” resource-allocation regime: Based on the innovative capabilities that they have previously developed, these companies dominate market segments of their industries but prioritize shareholders in corporate resource allocation. The practice of open-market share repurchases—aka stock buybacks—at major U.S. business corporations has been central to the dominate-and-distribute and downsize-and-distribute regimes. Since the mid-1980s, stock buybacks have become the prime mode for the legalized looting of the business corporation. I call this looting process “predatory value extraction” and contend that it is the fundamental cause of the increasing concentration of income among the richest household units and the erosion of middle-class employment opportunities for most other Americans. I conclude the paper by outlining a policy framework that could stop the looting of the business corporation and put in place social institutions that support sustainable prosperity. The agenda includes a ban on stock buybacks done as open-market repurchases, radical changes in incentives for senior corporate executives, representation of workers and taxpayers as directors on corporate boards, reform of the tax system to reward innovation and penalize financialization, and, guided by the investment-triad framework, government programs to support “collective and cumulative careers” of members of the U.S. labor force. Sustained investment in human capabilities by the investment triad, including business firms, would make it possible for an ever-increasing portion of the U.S. labor force to engage in the productive careers that underpin upward socioeconomic mobility, which would be manifested by a growing, robust, and hopeful American middle class.

Sembler, Jose Ignacio, Regina Legarreta, Ernesto Cuestas, Roni Szwedzki, Sumiko Andrade Sakaguchi, Damian Galinsky, Fernando Barbosa, et al. Approach Paper: Evaluation of IDB Invest. Inter-American Development Bank, September 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.18235/0004463.

Full text
Abstract:
This approach paper defines the objectives, scope, and methodology for the evaluation of IDB Invest by the Office of Evaluation and Oversight (OVE). At the 2015 annual meeting in Busan, the Boards of Governors of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) and the Inter-American Investment Corporation (IIC) decided to consolidate the IDB Group's private sector operations into the IIC. This decision was accompanied by a US$2.03 billion capital increase for the IIC over a 10-year period (2016-2025). This process of consolidation and capitalization, known as the private sector merge-out, took effect on 1 January 2016. In 2017, OVE completed a midterm review of implementation of the private sector merge-out to identify emerging lessons that might be helpful in completing the merge-out. In November 2017, the IIC was rebranded as IDB Invest. At the request of the Boards of Executive Directors of the IDB and IDB Invest, this evaluation was included in OVE's 2021-2022 work program. The Busan Resolution set forth a “Renewed Vision” for promoting development through the private sector. This Renewed Vision provides a long-term framework (2016-2025) for IDB Invest and focuses on strengthening development effectiveness, development impact, and additionality of operations, as well as maximizing the efficient use of resources and synergies between the IDB Group's public and private sector activities. The merge-out was selected as the way to implement this Renewed Vision. The challenges posed by the COVID-19 health crisis, as well as current discussions on the need to pursue a new business model for the institution and its financial and operational implications, make this an ideal moment to take stock of lessons learned and provide input for future discussions at the corporate level. Against this backdrop, this evaluation seeks to report independently to the Boards of Executive Directors of the IDB and IDB Invest on the effectiveness of the implementation to date of the Renewed Vision that gave rise to the creation of IDB Invest. This evaluation will also use the findings of OVE's 2017 midterm review of implementation of the merge-out to further analyze areas that had not yet matured at that time (e.g., finance, operations management, development effectiveness, etc.). The evaluation will cover the period from January 2016 (when the merge-out took effect) to December 2021.

Abstract:
SMEs are positioning themselves as a strategic branch of banking operations in the region, while banks are increasingly pushing for more active policies when it comes to the financing of SMEs. This is one of the highlighted conclusions from a 2011 joint survey conducted by the Inter-American Development Bank Group's entities dealing with the private sector: the Multilateral Investment Fund (FOMIN), the beyondBanking program of the department of Corporate and Structured Financing (SCF), and the Inter-American Investment Corporation, along with the Latin American Banking Federation (FELABAN). This report introduces the general results obtained during the fourth survey encompassing the views and opinions of directors, managers and deputies of the SME division of 109 banks scattered across 22 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean. It also includes an itemized analysis of the answers divided by the banks size and location, as well as their interrelations with other trends in that sector.
