| Summary/Abstract |
The present article makes an attempt to empirically examine the linkage between
board composition and financial performance of the listed Indian and Chinse
firms spanning over the period from 2010 to 2014. Board composition comprises
of the four variables, namely, board size, auditors’ quality, CEO duality
and proportion of independent directors on the board. The study finds that for
Indian firms, the separation between the chief executive officer (CEO) and the
chairperson does have positive impact on the firms’ return on equity (ROE),
while for the Chinese firms, the proportion of independent directors on the
board does significantly influence ROE of the firms. Firms with higher proportion
of independent directors on their boards experience greater ROE. However,
auditors’ quality and board size are not found to have any impact on the ROE of
the firms of either country.

| Summary/Abstract |
Since the Asian financial crisis in 1997, there has been renewed interest in corporate governance policies and practices. This study focuses on corporate governance practices in Malaysia, where the increasing incidence of fraud suggests a lack of adequate corporate governance systems in Malaysian listed companies. Using an unbalanced data set comprising 200 companies representing a total of 579 firm-year observations, this study examines the effects of internal corporate governance mechanisms on the occurrence of fraud. Specifically, it looks at the effects of board characteristics, ownership structure and quality of audit on the occurrence of fraud in Malaysian listed companies from 2007 to 2009. The findings indicate that the number of board meetings was positively associated with the occurrence of fraud, but both state and foreign ownership revealed a negative correlation, whereas factors including the number of independent directors, board size, CEO duality and the quality of audit had no observable effects.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article analyzes legal principles and bases for the activity of institutional investors in Russia, China, and the United States. It is shown that the risk of illegal activities on the part of company management can be limited through the involvement of institutional investors. The activity of Russian pension funds and other types of trust management remains low, compared to developed markets. The Chinese experience of companies including investors in corporate management could serve as a good model for a new way of developing Russia's corporate milieu.
