Avec les scandales financiers à répétition (Maxwell, Polly Peck, Enron…) qui se sont succédé dans le milieu des sociétés cotées notamment au Royaume-Uni et aux États-Unis depuis les années 1980, le droit des sociétés n'a eu de cesse de vouloir contenir et endiguer ces dérives de l'usage d'un pouvoir bien particulier : celui des dirigeants sociaux des grandes entreprises cotées. Mais le constat est amer pour le droit des sociétés : sa faiblesse voire sa relative impuissance face à ce pouvoir que nous qualifions d' « économique », ont entraîné l'émergence d'un droit nouveau : la corporate governance. Mais ce droit qui ne rentre pas dans les catégories du droit connues, ne procède pas d'un ordre de contrainte : il relève d'un ordre juridique négocié. Nous aurons à démontrer en quoi cette corporate governance est aujourd'hui devenu un véritable système juridique, pour l'heure sui generis. En tant que système juridique, la corporate governance ne doit plus être vue comme un « infra-droit » ou seulement un droit souple, mais comme un véritable droit tout simplement : celui du pouvoir économique. / With repeating financial scandals (Maxwell, Polly Peck, Enron…) that have occurred and followed one another in the environment of listed companies in particular in the United Kingdom and in the United States since the 1980s, corporate law has never stopped wanting to contain and to curb these drifts and excesses of the use of a very particular power: that of executives and managers of large listed companies. But the report is bitter for corporate law: its weakness even its relative powerlessness facing this power that we describe and consider to be « economic », have led to the emergence of a new law: corporate governance. But this law which does not fit into the known categories of law, does not proceed of an order of constraint: it is a matter of a negotiated legal order. We shall have to demonstrate in what this corporate governance has become a real legal system today, for the moment sui generis. As a legal system, corporate governance should no longer be seen as a « sub-law » or only a soft law, but as a real and genuine law simply: that of the economic power.

Thesis (MBA.) -- University of Limpopo, 2016 / This paper evaluated the relationship between the Chief Executive Officer’s gender and firm performance. This study was conducted by evaluating the differential effect of CEO’s gender and sales turnover, share price and net profit. The study was deemed necessary because related researches in South Africa did not address the relationship between gender and variables such as turnover, share price and net profit. Hence this research focuses on the evaluation of the differential effect between CEO's gender and the corporate turnover, share price and net profit. The methodological approach used in this study was the quantitative approach. Data were collected from the archives of Socially Responsible Investing Index companies in the JSE. The T-test of difference was applied for data analysis of sixteen (16) selected companies. Three specific objectives were examined as follows: (1) To evaluate the relationship between the CEO's gender and company turnover (2) To assess the relationship, the CEO's gender and share price (3) To examine the relationship between the CEO's gender and net profit. Findings from the statistical analysis revealed that there is no significant relationship between CEO gender and sales turnover. It was further identified that no relationship exists between CEO gender and share price. It was also discovered that there is no differential effect between CEO gender and net profit. Findings from statistical analysis revealed that P-Value was greater than 5 percent indicating that there was no significant relationship between CEO gender and sales turnover, share price and net profit. This means that within the companies examined, CEO gender had no influence on sales turnover, share price and net profit. Based on the findings above, women CEOs can perform as well as the men CEOs. Therefore, women should be afforded the CEO’s positions as their presence have no negative effect on firm performance. Key words: CEO gender, firm performance, sales turnover, share price, net profit, JSE listed companies, corporate profitability, shareholder value and gender stereotyping.

Bakgrund: År 2016 infördes lagen om tidsbestämd obligatorisk byrårotation för företag av allmänt intresse in i svensk lagstiftning. Definitionen "företag av allmänt intresse" innefattar börsnoterade företag och vissa finansiella företag. Regeln om obligatorisk byrårotation ingick i EU:s så kallade revisionspaket. Tanken med EU:s revisionspaket var att förbättra revisionskvaliteten och stärka reviorns oberoende för medlemsländerna. Det fanns även ett behov av att stärka förtroendet för revisionen efter alla revisionsskandaler som inträffat. Tidigare forskning anser att det finns både för- och nackdelar med obligatorisk byrårotation. Vissa forskare menar att revisionskvaliteten ökar av obligatorisk byrårotation medan andra menar att revisionskvaliteten minskar. Således är det intressant att studera vilken påverkan obligatorisk byrårotation har på revisionskvaliteten samt revisionens legitimitet. Problemformulering: Hur påverkas revisionskvaliteten och revisionens legitimitet av obligatorisk byrårotation? Syfte: Syftet med studien är att utifrån ett revisorsperspektiv undersöka hur obligatorisk byrårotation påverkar revisionskvaliteten samt allmänhetens förtroende för revisionen. Studien syftar således till att skapa en ökad förståelse kring hur revisionskvaliteten och revisionens legitimitet påverkas av obligatorisk byrårotation. Metod: Studiens tillvägagångssätt var kvalitativt och datainsamlingen bestod av sex stycken semistrukturerade intervjuer. Alla informanter har revisorsbakgrund. Resultat och slutsats: Studien visar att obligatorisk byrårotation har en övervägande positiv påverkan på såväl revisionskvaliteten som revisionens legitimitet. Detta gäller för både börsnoterade företag och finansiella företag. Obligatorisk byrårotation motverkar långvariga relationer mellan revisor och klient. Samtidigt går kunskap om ett företag förlorad när det genomförs en byrårotation. / Backgrounds: In 2016, mandatory audit firm rotation was confirmed as a new law for public interest entities into Swedish legislation. The definition of "public interest entities" include listed companies and certain financial undertakings. The mandatory audit firm rotation rule was included in the EU audit package. The idea with the audit package was to improve the audit quality and increase the auditor independence for the member states of EU. There was also a need to improve the legitimacy confidence in the audit after all the scandals that occurred. Previous research finds that there are both advantages and disadvantages with mandatory audit firm rotation. Some research shows that the audit quality increase by mandatory audit firm rotation, while some shows that the audit quality decrease. Thus, it is interesting to study the impact of mandatory audit firm rotation on audit quality and audit legitimacy. Questions: How does the audit quality and the audit legitimacy affect by mandatory audit firm rotation? Purpose: The purpose of the study is to investigate, form an auditor's perspective, how mandatory audit firm rotation affects audit quality and public confidence in the audit. The study thus aims to create an increased understanding about how audit quality and audit legitimacy are affected by mandatory audit firm rotation. Method: The study's approach was qualitative and the data was collected by six semi-structured interviews. All informants have background in the audit profession. Result and conclusion: The study shows that mandatory auditor rotation has a predominantly positive impact at the quality of the audit and the audit legitimacy. This applies to both financial undertakings and listed companies. Mandatory auditor rotation decreases the risk of counteracts long-standing relationships between the auditor and tha client. At the same time, knowledge of a company is lost when an audit firm rotation is implemented.

近年來，市場低利率環境、證券市場之高報酬率吸引歐美私募基金業者蜂擁進入亞洲新興資本市場。在2001年時就有相關報告指出中國大陸已存在數千家私募基金，2009年「創業板」推出，幾十家由私募基金投資的企業相繼掛牌上市，私募基金在中國大陸的發展如火如茶。近年來因為其彈性之營運模式，已逐漸吸引全球資本市場之焦點。惟亞洲新興市場目前法律針對私募基金之相關規定，相較於歐美等發展較完備之資本市場，無論於私募基金之法律架構、私募基金之監理模式以及私募基金較常見之交易模式如公開收購、融資收購等，相關之法律規範仍尚待建立。 中國大陸對私募股權投資基金不論是中央各部會之間或是地方政府，近年來均分別推出多項法令，雖然有不少創新突破，但也有扞格及不足之處，本文針對中國大陸私募股權投資基金相關法規，探討私募股權投資基金的發展現狀及問題。 / According to the relevant report in 2001,there were thousands of Private Funds in Mainland China. In 2009, there were tens of Private Funds invested companies got public listed successfully due to the emerging of growth enterprise market. The development of private fund in China is getting quicker and more prosperous. However, in the contrary to the rapid growth in private fund markets, the government legislation in such fields is far away from effectiveness. China still lacks of a unified, effective Private Fund monitoring system. This dissertation tried to provide advises on establishing and perfecting the monitoring system for Chinese Private Equity Fund by analyzing the development, operational risk and the necessity of monitoring system .Also it tried to conduct researches on the overseas legislation on the Monitoring the Private Equity Fund, so that to better protecting the investors, to maintain the safety of the market, and to accelerate the healthy development of Chinese Private Equity Fund.

Fund investments are very popular in Sweden. However, we have the impression that despite this popularity, the average fund investor in Sweden does not pay much attention to the importance and possible link of fund’s asset composition features (e.g. Asset class, Holdings, and Geo-exposure) to fund’s performance. Instead, S/he relies on factors such as fees, risk levels, historical performance, etc. in her/his investment decisions. Similarly, academic studies mainly focus on attributes such as funds fees, size, and manager’s skill to explain fund’s performance. Thus there are limited premier academic studies on the relationship between fund’s performance and its asset composition features. The main purpose of this study is to investigate possible causal relationship between the performances of funds with their assets composition features. We study the whole population of 346 Swedish listed mutual funds older than five years for the period 2009-2013. The results of the study provides the investors and analysts with additional decision-making and investment-analysis tools to assist them in making more informed judgment on funds and their expected returns. The results are also useful for fund managers to improve their strategies by refining the combinations of their funds’ asset composition attributes in order to improve the absolute risk-adjusted performance of their funds. Our research philosophy has been based on positivism and objectivism along with functionalist paradigm and we have applied deductive approach to test the theories. We have used quantitative method and collected the funds’ data from public business databases and chosen Jensen’s alpha and Treynor ratio as funds’ risk-adjusted performance measures. We performed Correlation tests and Regression with robust techniques on our data to answer the research question from three aspects, namely asset class (equity, bond, and mixed assets); geo-exposures (Sweden, Global, Europe, and Nordic) and Top-ten holdings’ measures (asset concentration and Treynor of each fund’s passive top-ten sub-portfolio). We conclude that correlations between funds’ risk-adjusted performance and assets composition features are likely to exist. Stronger correlations are observed between the explanatory measures and fund’s relative risk-adjusted performance (fund’s Treynor) as compared to fund’s absolute risk adjusted performance (fund’s Jensen’s alpha). Asset concentration in top-ten holdings and bond asset class are more likely to be in casual relationship with fund’s risk-adjusted performance, whereas Treynor ratio of top-ten holdings’ passive sub-portfolio as well as fund’s geo-exposure do not seem to have strong explanatory power for funds’ absolute performance.

Introduktion Revisionskostnaden styrs till stor del av förhållandet mellan utbud och efterfrågan. Tidigare studier har funnit ett flertal bakomliggande faktorer som påverkar revisionskostnadens storlek i publika bolag och kommuner. Behovet av en jämförande studie har tidigare påpekats för att kartlägga revisionskostnadernas skillnader över tid. Syfte Syftet med studien är att jämföra och förklara utvecklingen av revisionskostnadernas storlek i publika bolag och i den kommunala sektorn över tid. Metod Studiens deduktiva ansats innebär att tidigare forskning och befintliga teorier har legat till grund för att härleda uppställda hypoteser. En longitudinell studie har genomförts för att mäta förändringar och utveckling över tid. Kvantitativ data har samlats in i form av sekundärdata. Slutsats Studiens resultat visar att ett flertal bakomliggande faktorer förklarar revisionskostnadens storlek över tid. Bolagsstorlek, risk och andra uppdrag har i studien ett signifikant samband med revisionskostnaden. I kommuner kan revisionskostnaden förklaras av storlek, skattekraft, resultat och antal mandat. Under perioden 2005-2011 har revisionskostnaden för publika bolag minskat med 0,5 %, medan revisionskostnaderna i kommuner har ökat med 12,8 %. Skillnaden kan till stor del förklaras av revisionens olika ändamål och påverkan av omvärldsfaktorer. / Introduction The audit fee depends mainly on the relationship between demand and supply. Former studies have found multiple underlying independent variables that affect the audit fee in listed companies and municipalities. The need of a comparative study to analyze the differences in audit fees over time between the two has previously been pointed out. Purpose The purpose of the study is to compare and explain the development of audit fees in listed companies and municipalities over time. Method The study’s deductive method means that previous research and existing theories have been the foundation from which hypothesis have been derived. A longitudinal study has been performed to measure changes and development over time. Quantitative data has been collected as secondary data. Conclusion This study indicates that multiple underlying independent variables explains the audit fees over time. The size of the company, risk and non-audit fees have a significant positive relation with the audit fee. In municipalities the audit fee relates to size, tax base, results and number of mandates.  During the period between 2005 and 2011 the audit fees for listed companies decreased with 0.5 %, whereas the audit fees for municipalities increased with 12.8 %. The difference can largely be explained by differing purposes of the audit and effect of global factors.

改革開放以來，跨境併購成為中國經濟發展的重要力量。越來越多的外國投資者通過併購中國企業股權和資産，以利用中國的低廉勞動生産力或取得巨大的市場空間，各種跨境併購活動方興未艾。 上市公司併購是一個複雜的過程，從控股股東的併購動機，到整個交易過程中的各個具體環節所發生的變化，都會最終影響到併購重組的效果和利益在各方的分配。而過程中所產生的風險及問題，都顯示出外資在大陸執行併購時的「如履薄冰」。外資併購大陸公司的每個案例都如同一場商業諜戰，而法律正是這場戰役中，每個人所握有的重要武器。本文期能以外資的角度爲出發點，以外資併購大陸上市企業的併購管理流程爲軸，以大陸外資併購的相關法律規範爲緯，從併購管理流程的角度，思考過程中相關的法律操作實務，協助實務工作者瞭解整體併購過程的相關併購規範，並於執行併購中，能按圖索驥，按步執行併購作業，避免投資中國的徒勞無功。 本研究共分為五章，首先說明中國經濟體制及法律變革。第二章主要說明外資在大陸特殊政經情勢下的併購發展及所適用的相關法律。第三章主要說明外資併購中國上市公司時的操作流程，並且從企業管理的角度及法律角度說明兩者的差異。本研究最終歸納外資併購大陸上市公司流程區分為併購的預備、調查、簽約及履約四大階段及十個流程。第四章則針對上述每個階段的流程，分析一併購交易中會面臨的法律風險及問題，並於行文中，說明相關參考案例。第五章則說明本文的結論及重要觀察。 / Since the reform and opening-up policy , the Cross-border M&A plays the important role in China. In order to take advantage of lower cost productivity or grab the attractive market shares, more and more foreign investors use the M&A to obtain the stocks or assets. The M&A in listed companies is a complicated processdures. Each segments of the M&A processdures has different impacts for the effects of the M&A. Foreign investors faced lots of the risks and challengeswhile they try to initiate the M&A plan. M&A cases seems like the spy games in the business war filed and law is the major weapon during the attacts and defenses. The research is based on the foreign investors view and constructs the thesis by M&A processdures and M&A regulations. From the perspectives of the M&A processdures, the research will build the step-by-step processes and assist the practioniers to execute the M&A effectively. The rewearch has five chapters. The first chapter is to introducethe economical mechanisms and the regulation systems in China. The second chapter is to deliberate the major M&A cases in China and explore the M&A related regulations. The third chapter is focus on the analysisM&A prcessdures and construct the specific processdures, including four processes (M&A preparation, M&A investigation, M&A contract and M&A execution) and ten segments. Specifically, the fourth chapter covers the analysis of the business and law insights for each segment. Finally, the fiveth chapter concludes the observations.

Företags intressenter ställer allt högre krav på företagens hållbarhetsarbete, där de miljömässiga, sociala och ekonomiska aspekterna är i centrum. För att företag ska kunna visa att de fullföljer ansvaret kring arbetet med hållbarhet, upprättar företagen en hållbarhetsredovisning, där främst riktlinjer från Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) används. I GRI är en av principerna intressentinkludering, som innebär att företag ska föra en dialog med intressenter, för att på så sätt få ta del av intressenters åsikter och genom detta bidra till en mer användbar och trovärdig hållbarhetsredovisning. Med utgångspunkt i företags intressentdialog och vad som tidigare studier behandlar inom ämnet, har denna studie förklarat hur svenska börsnoterade företag identifierar, prioriterar och involverar intressenter i hållbarhetsredovisningen, samt hur företagens intressenter inverkar på hållbarhetsredovisningar.   För att uppfylla studiens syfte samt besvara dess problemformuleringar har studien utförts med hjälp av en kvalitativ metod, i form av intervjuer, där sju svenska börsnoterade företag har intervjuats som hållbarhetsredovisar enligt GRI. Resultaten av studien visar att de undersökta svenska börsnoterade företagen identifierar och prioriterar intressenter, där de identifierade intressenterna är de intressenter som påverkar eller påverkas av företagen. De prioriterade intressenterna anses enligt de undersökta företagen vara de som i högre grad påverkar eller som i högre grad påverkas av företagens verksamheter. Intressenterna blir även av de undersökta svenska börsnoterade företagen involverade, detta via olika dialogmetoder som beror på vilken intressentgrupp det berör. Slutligen visar studien att intressenter till de undersökta svenska börsnoterade företagen även inverkar på företagens hållbarhetsredovisningar, där det kan ses att en del intressenter har mer inflytande än andra. / Corporate stakeholders place increasingly high demands on companies regarding the sustainability work, where the environmental, social and economic aspects are at the center. In order for companies to demonstrate that they are in charge of the sustainability work, companies establish a sustainability report, primarily using Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) guidelines. In GRI one of the principles is stakeholder inclusiveness, which means that companies should engage in dialogue with stakeholders in order to gain access to stakeholders' views, and thereby contribute to a more useful and credible sustainability report. Based on the company's stakeholder dialogue and what previous research deal with within the subject, the study has explained how Swedish listed companies identify, prioritize and involve stakeholders in the sustainability report, as well as how companies' stakeholders influence the sustainability reports.   In order to fulfill the purpose of the study and answer its problem formulations, the study has been conducted using a qualitative method, in the form of interviews, in which seven Swedish listed companies have been interviewed, who are using GRI guidelines when they are establishing the sustainability reports. The results of the study show that the surveyed Swedish listed companies identify and prioritize stakeholders, where the identified stakeholders are the stakeholders that affect or are influenced by the companies. Priority stakeholders are, according to the companies surveyed, considered to be those that increasingly influence or are increasingly affected by business activities. The stakeholders will also be involved in the surveyed Swedish listed companies, through different dialogue methods depending on which stakeholder group it concerns. Finally, the study shows that stakeholders of the Swedish listed companies surveyed also in some way affect the companies' sustainability reports, where it can be seen that some stakeholders have more influence than others.

Esta tese versa sobre “O Patrimônio Histórico e Artístico Nacional no Rio Grande do Sul no século XX: atribuição de valores e critérios de intervenção”. Inicia com a apresentação das trajetórias dos campos da história, da história da arte e do patrimônio. A seguir, definem-se os conceitos pertinentes ao tema, nos campos da arquitetura e do patrimônio, e, em relação a este último, os critérios recomendados pelas cartas internacionais e aplicados pelos técnicos que se ocupam das intervenções nos bens edificados. A partir da análise da trajetória do IPHAN e, especificamente, de algumas obras de restauração, procura-se entender a atuação do Instituto no Brasil para melhor situar a relação do mesmo no Rio Grande do Sul. Aborda a preservação no estado, investigando as escolhas sobre o que se tornou patrimônio, os valores associados aos tombamentos dos bens edificados, os critérios utilizados nas intervenções e, permeando ambos, a oscilação entre a busca da imagem e do documento. As obras de restauração tiveram por objetivo, em alguns momentos, produzir uma representação/imagem desejada das edificações restauradas, privilegiando a consagração de aspectos visuais e, em outros, buscaram a salvaguarda de um documento herdado, procurando preservar os elementos constitutivos autênticos das mesmas. A busca do documento na restauração representa a preservação daquilo que efetivamente existiu enquanto matéria. A imagem, por sua vez, busca aquilo que poderia ter sido e representa uma construção imaginária. Um tema que emergiu da pesquisa e, devido a sua relevância, mereceu um destaque no texto é a participação da sociedade civil na preservação do patrimônio histórico e artístico nacional no Rio Grande do Sul. As trajetórias regionais do IPHAN carecem de estudos em todo o território nacional. Esta tese poderá ser útil para quem atua no campo da preservação, especialmente na própria instituição, para entender a sua trajetória desde o ponto de vista das unidades descentralizadas. / The present work is about “The Historical and Artistic National Trust in Twentieth Century, Rio Grande do Sul: value giving and intervention criteria”. It begins with the presentation of the trajectories of the fields of history, of the history of Art and of the patrimony. After that, the concepts concerning the theme are defined in the fields of architecture and of the patrimony. Regarding the latter, the criteria recommended by international letters and applied by technicians who take care of the interventions in built items are also defined. From the analysis of the Instituto do Patrimônio Histórico e Artístico Nacional - IPHAN’s trajectory, and specifically of some restoration works, we aim at comprehending the Institute’s performance in Brazil in order to better situate its relationship in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. This work approaches preservation in the state, investigating the choices of what bas been listed, the values associated to heritage listing of built items, the criteria used in the interventions and, permeating these, the oscillation between the search for the image and for the document. At some moments, restoration works aimed at producing a wished-for representation/image of the restored constructions, privileging the consecration of visual aspects. At other moments, they aimed at the safeguarding of an inherited document, trying to preserve the authentic constitutive elements of these. The search for the document in the restoration represents what existed in fact as matter. The image, on the other hand, is a search for what could have been and represents an imaginary construct. A theme that emerged form this research and deserved emphasis due to its relevance is the participation of the civil society in the preservation of the historical and artistic national patrimony in Rio Grande do Sul. IPHAN’s regional trajectories lack studies in the whole national territory. This thesis may be useful for those who work in the field of preservation, specially within IPHAN itself, for the comprehension of its history from the point of view of decentralized units.

The sample consists of 263 publicly-listed companies for 2006. Our findings support all three hypotheses. We provide evidence that trade credit may be used as a signal for the firm’s quality. / Trade credit é o prazo concedido a um comprador pelo fornecedor, durante a realização de uma venda. Portanto, trata-se de um crédito concedido por instituições não-financeiras. Esta dissertação testa as hipóteses de substituição, complementariedade e reputação relacionadas ao uso de trade credit por empresas brasileiras de capital aberto, e, adicionalmente, analisa a relação entre o endividamento e o fornecimento de trade credit por estas empresas. Sob uma visão mais tradicional, o Trade credit é tido como uma fonte alternativa de crédito em relação ao financiamento bancário. Estudos mais recentes ressaltam sua importância em sinalizar às instituições financeiras a boa qualidade da empresa, uma vez que este carregaria informações relevantes possuídas pelos fornecedores sobre seus clientes. Neste sentido, o trade credit teria também a função de facilitar o acesso ao crédito. Alphonse, Ducret and Séverin (2006) sugerem que, num primeiro momento, a empresa com restrição ao crédito usaria o trade credit como complemento do crédito bancário (hipótese de complementariedade). Considerando que este seria percebido pelos bancos como um sinal de boa qualidade da empresa (hipótese de reputação), enquanto num segundo momento, os bancos se tornariam dispostos a dar crédito para essa empresa, e o trade credit passaria a ser uma fonte substitutiva de financiamento (hipótese de substituição). Os resultados confirmam as hipóteses de substituição, complementaridade, e reputação. Além de ser uma importante fonte de financiamento, o uso do trade credit parece de fato sinalizar a boa qualidade da empresa, mesmo para empresas de capital aberto, facilitando assim seu acesso ao financiamento bancário. Com relação à concessão de trade credit, encontramos que o acesso ao crédito está negativamente relacionado ao fornecimento de trade credit. Este resultado é contrário ao encontrado por pesquisas que utilizaram amostra de empresas pequenas e médias, e se justifica pela menor dependência das empresas de capital aberto em relação a seus clientes, condição que as leva a fazer menos concessões 7 aos mesmos. Com relação às empresas com maior acesso ao mercado de capitais (por exemplo, empresas que emitem debêntures), essa relação negativa entre o acesso ao crédito e fornecimento de trade credit foi ainda mais significativa. Este resultado evidencia que quanto maior a reputação menor o fornecimento de trade credit por estas empresas.
