ownership to voluntary information disclosure in Vietnam Furthermore, to check significant impact of corporate governance, ownership structure on voluntary information disclosure in Vietnam, the GMM regression is employed to deal with endogeneity problems and the results provide empirical evidences of the strong relationship between board size, family ownership, block share holders ownership and voluntary information disclosure Interestingly, the study finds that the negative relationship between board independence and voluntary disclosure is weakened in the presence of block shareholders, and the positive association of board size and disclosure level is strengthened for firms with family ownership Keywords: voluntary disclosure, corporate governance, board leader structure, board independence, board size, SOEs, family-owned companies, block shareholder firms Phan Hoa Thao Nguyen | Page vii 123doc Stt.010.Mssv.BKD002ac.email.ninhd

and provide goods or services The Vietnamese SEM passes through unstable period It may state that the SEM takes an important role in actuating national economy First, due to having SEM, investing of idle capital becomes easier, accumulating capital is more abundant Second, SEM provides businesses a chance in order to use capital source more effectively Third, SEM is a tool in order to evaluate business and forecast the future Final, SEM provides a good forecast about business cycle in the future The Vietnamese SEM spent unstable periods as stock price fluctuates continuously Evenly, that fluctuation is not sometimes reasonable and not to be complied in accordance with any rules Therefore, many investors lack of exact information about market There are some reality problems existing on SEM for a long time are the swaying price, violating disclosing information, and planting spy transaction… It is the time for government to impose strong methods to disclose market The state owned enterprises dominated in Vietnam in the early 1980s The Vietnam economy has passed two periods of French War and American War influencing on economic property form of enterprises from 1946 – 1975 After Southern liberation in 1975, there is a united combination between two of South and North region, Vietnam had gone to building period for economy and society Following this unifying, the Vietnam economy had operated according to same custom, model of central planning which had been adopted in North region was transferred to South region (Turner and Nguyen, 2005) This development has created the central planning economy which state ownership takes an important role as owning production means, agricultural coPhan Hoa Thao Nguyen | Page 123doc Stt.010.Mssv.BKD002ac.email.ninhd

Luan an Do an Beside to principal variables, the ownership variables have also been sought out having statistical significance to voluntary disclosure In the regression model to board leader structure variable, family-owned variable have been suggested having positive and significant association to voluntary disclosure This statistic seemed to indicate that firms with high number of family members in board may disclose more about themselves to public Similarly, firms with a strategy of high disclosure have tendency in order to assign a large number of family members in board, and vice versa On the other hand, in the regression model to independence of board, blockholder variable have been sought out the negative and significant association to voluntary disclosure in significance level 1% This may reflect the fact that a group of block shareholders in companies usually not want to disseminate internal data and strategies to market or investors Beside to principal variables of model, the control variables take important roles in regression result The firmsize variable is positive and significant with 1% and 5% level in relationship to voluntary disclosure variable This may be a popular situation of Vietnam companies when the large companies would like to open themselves to outside investors and stock market for mobilizing investment capital Moreover, table 14 also reveals statistical significance between leverage and disclosure in SOEs, family-owned companies, and block shareholders firms Another control variable researched is auditor which reveals that a firm is audited by a external auditor, concretely one of the Big The result indicates that the audit variable has statistical significance level 1% and 5% This may reflect the fact that a firm is audited by one of the Big usually disclose more information than the others Big contributes to assist companies for disseminating more themselves to public On the other hand, the profit variable has also found

that company By using data collected from 237 listed firms on HOSE from 2010 to 2015, the paper considers the gap in research about impacts of corporate governance on voluntary disclosure at three Vietnamese popular organization types SOEs, family-owned company, and block share holders firms in comparison with current researches Based on the list of 32 voluntary disclosure items, the findings from this paper reveal the evidences to confirm that characteristics of corporate governance containing board leader structure, independence of board, and size of board influence on voluntary disclosure of information in companies in Vietnam Furthermore, the paper also considers the impact of ownership on voluntary information disclosure Findings from this study provide the empirical evidences to confirm influences of corporate governance and ownership on voluntary disclosure Specifically, with cross-sectional data, the paper’s result shows that in SOEs and block shareholders companies, CEO duality and higher proportion of independent directors are associated with higher voluntary disclosure in 2010 and 2013 By contrast, data in 2015 reveals that a higher number of independent directors may express a lower voluntary disclosure In family-owned companies, the result suggests that board leader structure and board size is directly proportional with voluntary disclosure Furthermore, with panel data, in the state-owned enterprises and block shareholders firms, the GMM regression result reveals that a large size of board indicates that the larger number of members in board are, the higher the voluntary disclosure is The paper also shows that family-owned companies usually have high transparent index Contrary to familyPhan Hoa Thao Nguyen | Page 47

number of independent directors and voluntary information disclosure is weaker for firm with block share holders Similarly, the positive association of board size and voluntary information disclosure is stronger for firms with family-owned companies The result of paper reveals the practical situation and conditions of voluntary disclosure are influenced by internal and external factors of the businesses The external conditions contain Vietnam regulations and laws, especially management and legally biding system of government Moreover, the internal conditions includes internal control system, board of management, control board and independent audit In scope of this paper, factors influencing to information disclosure of the businesses have just considered in internal aspects of companies Nevertheless, the paper fails in providing evidence to support the association between characteristics of corporate governance and voluntary disclosure of listed firms on HOSE First, with the cross-sectional data, the paper could not find the statistical significant result of the board size variable and voluntary information disclosure variable Similarly, with the panel data, the paper also could not find the relationship of board size and voluntary information disclosure However, the result of cross-sectional data and panel data are relative consistency in board leader structure and board independence variable Likewise, with the result of GMM, the research result also does not find the association of board leader structure and independence of board to voluntary disclosure from 2010 to 2015 Moreover, the paper could not find the significant association of state-owed enterprises and voluntary information disclosure Beside that, only the interaction variables bib and bsf have significant result with the voluntary information disclosure The other variables could not provide the significant association with the voluntary information disclosure Phan Hoa Thao Nguyen |

Luan an Do an Based on these findings, some policy implications are suggested for the companies and government Firstly, it is necessary for the owners, shareholders, managers, and administrators to reconsider structure of organization, role of members, characteristics of board in order to select a best sample form for management board Secondly, in developing and integrating period, the SEM in general and listed firms in particular need more capital for investment and extended production of company from foreign investors Thus, in order to attract the investment capital, Vietnamese corporations need to raise disclosure for responding the interesting from outside potential investors in mobilizing capital effectively Thirdly, Vietnamese enterprises should update the new trends about strategy of managing and disclosing information from countries in the region and the world for enhancing competence and firm value Finally, government should promulgate the instructions and circulars for supervising process of corporate information disclosure Although this study has considered a number of corporate factors that are supposed to significantly impact in the firm’s voluntary disclosure, other related variables remain untested Also the empirical results should be taken of care as they could be distorted by outliers, probably More importantly, because of availability of disclosure and family ownership data, the study assumes that disclosure information and number of family members should remain unchanged in short-term or one year Phan Hoa Thao Nguyen | Page 49 123doc
