The impacts of financing decision ratios on a firm's accounting-based performance are essentially associated with particular data. For this purpose, firm size, firm age, and leverage are taken into account as control variables. The past studies have been reviewed to find gaps, which seemed to incorporate worn-out methods of research, and the inability of past researchers to inculcate firm accounting-based performance while measuring a firm's overall performance. So, data from 40 listed Jordan listed firms from the year 2007 have been collected, and 200 observations are made. The researcher also collected data from the website of the World Bank regarding these firms. It is employed by the generalized movement technique method to avoid heteroscedasticity, autocorrelation, and potential endogenous problems. The study results showed that the impacts of total debt to total assets and short-term debt to total assets are significant and negative on return on assets and return on equity. However, the impacts of long-term debt to total assets are significant and flattering on both return on assets and return on equity. The research has implications for the higher authorities and management to enhance the quality of their financial structure. In contrast, that research has some limitations because of employing a small number of factors to study the impacts of financing decision ratios.
In this study, the impact of corporate governance factors on the effectiveness of accounting information system has been investigated considering Jordanian Industrial Companies. Authors considered the influence of corporate governance factors such as organisational vision, and goal translation, data-driven decision making, expertise and experience of governing committee, KPI based performance evaluation and effective collaboration between leaders and departments on the effectiveness of accounting information system. The effectiveness of accounting information system has been measured by the ease of use, security, storage, it's usability for delivery and decision making. The secondary data was collected using a questionnaire from 30 accounting firms in Jordan. Specialised software called Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) has been used to analyse the data gathered and draw conclusions. Authors found that AIS is an effective tool for decision making and performance evaluation when management adopts the data-driven approach. However, for an effective AIS, it must be governed by subject matter experts who have expertise and experience is financial and accounting methodologies. Authors emphasised on the role of the leadership team in creating a clear vision and ASMART goals so that the AIS system can be aligned and help the departments to deliver on targets. It was observed that effective communication, collaboration among the leaders and departments significantly influence the effectiveness of AIS structure and it's ability to deliver results.
This study examines the relationship between board gender diversity and corporate risk-taking among Jordanian companies. Pooled Ordinary Least Square (OLS) regression and Panel Data regression are used in this study to examine the relationship between these variables. Results indicate that the presence of women directors can mitigate corporate risk-taking a while; male-only board leads to higher level of firm risk-taking. This study concludes that board gender diversity can be used as a monitoring agent to mitigate corporate risk-taking, supporting the regulator"s initiative to promote gender diversity in the corporate boardrooms.
