The moderating role of IFRS in the relationship between risk management and financial disclosure in Jordanian banks

Abstract

This study investigated the impact of IFRS on the relationship between risk management and financial disclosure in Jordanian banks in light of the Covid-19 pandemic. The study data were collected from Jordanian banks’ financial reports with the help of panel data to measure IFRS and risk management. The study depended on daily data, at a rate of (256) trading days from March 3, 2020 until April 29, 2021. Also, the study used questionnaires to measure financial disclosure in addition to interviews with eight Jordanian bank managers. Multiple regression was used to test hypotheses. The study found a positive statistically significant relationship between risk management and financial disclosure. The relationship was portrayed by a coefficient of 0.315. The result also showed the moderating role of IFRS in such a relationship, the effect reached 0.696. The conclusions have implications for both theory and practice. In fact, the findings elucidated the connection between risk management, IFRS, and financial disclosure. Finally, Jordanian banks should focus on IFRS and risk management, enhanced management, and employee skills as recommendations in this study. Thus, Jordanian banks pay particular attention to IFRS and risk management in order to achieve profitability through financial disclosure.

Factors Affecting the Credit Risk Management in the Banking Sector of Pakistan: Moderating Effect of Financial Technology

Market risk analysis has a positive and statistically significant effect on credit risk management; thus, H2 is supported and consistent with previous research (Kessy, 2022;Ahmad et al, 2022). The organizational structure has a positive and statistically significant effect on credit risk management; therefore, Hypothesis 3 is supported and consistent with previous research (Lalon & Morshada, 2020;Nwude & Okeke, 2015).…”

Scholtens (2006) distinguishes finances, especially socially responsible investments, as the engine of sustainability.…”

Ensuring Sustainable Development in Light of Pandemic “New Normal” Influence

“…The business prospects' unpredictability was analyzed in light of factors, such as the uncertainty in the state administration actions during that period [5,6], the support from vulnerable governments to manage the COVID-19 crisis [7,8], and the provision of agile models of interaction in different domains [9,10], including employment, education, and other communications. The new wave of actuality has brought forth questions about the deficit in digital skills for employment [11,12], the employee risk management of different groups depending on the pandemic influence [13][14][15], employees' disengagement [16], and the stress caused by the new labor conditions [17], including technostress created by the momentary hyper digitalization of many processes [18][19][20].…”
