Abstract : The current study aims to examine the influence of Culture and corporate governance on the corporate performance of Jordanian financial companies. The results of the current study will contribute to the literature in light of the lack of local studies in this regard. Study sample consists of 105 financial companies listed on ASE. For this purpose, this study used agency theory and Hofstede theory. To measure the culture the study used the six of Hofstede's cultural dimensions LPD; MAS; COLL; HUAI; LTO; REST. To measure the corporate governance the study used the board size; Independence of BOD; Non-CEO duality; Board committees, largest OWS LO; Foreign OWS (FO); and government OWS (GO). The current study indicated empirical evidence that there is no relationship between culture and CP with the presence of corporate governance in the Jordanian context. However, there is the additional explanatory power of cultural dimensions in explaining the variances in corporate performance with the presence of CG. Given the importance of culture and its relationship with corporate governance and performance, and in light of the lack of local studies, future studies must be conducted in this regard.

The role of enterprise risk management on cost of equity capital in the international financial reporting standards period
Authors : Bisan almasri, amjed alfityani, hasan Mansur& hakam maali
Abstract : Results and Contribution: The results of the study suggest that the use of high-performance ERM by Australian companies while the obligation to adopt IFRS has no statistically significant impact on equity capital costs. Together, the use of high-quality ERM by Australian firms during the IFRS period, is not seen by investors as a sign of greater transparency and does not encourage investors to use a lower discount rate to reduce future cash flows, which, in turn, contributes to equitable financial costs. As a result, these results suggest that the implementation of ERM by Australian firms does not reduce contract costs between investors and managers, while adoption of IFRS declines. Purpose: This study emphatically investigates the role of the standard implementation of a business risk management system at equitable financial costs. This system plays an important role in understanding the relationship between international financial reporting standards and the financial market. Gap: This study fills the gap by exploring the market benefits of compulsory IFRS acquisition funding from the point of view of ERM dynamically. Relevance: the research builds on the argument around agency theory, signaling theory, and contingency theory, by introducing empirical evidence of capital market reaction for signaling an ERM system during the IFRS period adoption, which as a result, may reduce costs of conflict between firm management and stockholders. Methodology: Listed companies in the Australian market are used for the period 2000-2010 for this purpose. Panel data are analyzed by retrospective model in order to achieve the research objective by providing a reference reference to ERMIL's role in the economic outcomes of IFRS acquisition, with its indirect impact on strong compensation.
