Busyness of audit committee directors and quality of financial information in India
2016
The audit committees, as a part of the internal corporate governance mechanisms, play an important role to enhance the financial reporting quality. The busyness of audit committee members of a firm in boards and committees of other firms can affect its independent functioning, ceteris paribus. The current study examines, first, the association between multiple directorships of audit committee members and quality of financial reporting in India, second, whether endogenously determined busyness limits of busyness of the audit committee members provide better insights than those exogenously mandated by regulators. The study finds that endogenously determined busyness limits of sub-samples and …
La responsabilità degli amministratori di srl. Dalla diligenza del mandatario alla ragionevolezza delle scelte gestionali
2011
This Book deals with the duties of directors in the Italian “società a responsabilità limitata” (s.r.l.), corresponding to a limited liability company without shares, in order to focus on the logic and limits of the directors’ liability and to combat any abusive bringing of the remedies laid down to enforce the above-mentioned duties. For such a purpose, the Book contains: an analysis of the interests involved, both in a s.r.l. “in bonis” and in a s.r.l. in crisis; a comparison with the same issues and solutions in the USA, England, Germany and Switzerland; and the idea to interpret the legal framework in the light of a concept of reasonableness which is more elaborate than that employed by…
Diversità di genere e sistema sanitario: un’analisi su un campione di aziende sanitarie italiane
2022
Il lavoro analizza in che misura la diversità di genere fa parte delle attuali pratiche delle aziende sanitarie. Attraverso un’analisi di tipo statistico-inferenziale su un campione di 39 strutture ospedaliere appartenenti al Gruppo San Donato, ha lo scopo di valutare se la presenza delle donne nel CdA influenza la performance aziendale. I risultati suggeriscono che la diversità nelle aziende sanitarie è un tema poco esplorato e non mancano opportunità e ostacoli al percorso di carriera delle donne. L’analisi di correlazione e regressione conferma che la presenza delle donne è positivamente correlata all’indice di performance delle strutture; la strada per arrivare alla parità non è breve e…
