Role of Agility in Audit, Corporate Governance, Risk and Compliance (AGRC) for Financial Performance in Listed Government-Owned Companies
Get PDFThis study investigates the relationship between corporate governance mechanisms, risk, compliance, and the financial performance of listed government-owned companies in the UAE. The motive of the study in applying it to listed governmentowned companies in the UAE is the leading role played by these companies in the redistribution of national income, as this is considered one of the main objectives of establishing such companies. Hence, this study covering the research gap in the field examines the relationship between agility in audit, corporate governance, risk, compliance, and financial performance. Hence, the research is structured into five chapters to fulfill the research questions and objectives, encompassing a comprehensive review of existing related studies, an in-depth analysis and discussion of relevant literature pertinent to this research, and the exploration of a theoretical framework. Consequently, the hypotheses are rested on the basis of the conceptual framework. Also, the research methodology is discussed in this study to outline how this answers the research questions and verifies its hypotheses and the data, which are collected andanalyzed statistically. The study reached several results, the most important of which are: that enhancing the company's use of good corporate governance strives to increase shareholder welfare; one of the aspects that investors take into account when deciding whether to purchase shares of a firm is its financial performance, so Investors' money is safe and secure thanks to the application of good corporate governance. can use financial performance to gauge a manager's success in controlling resources for the organization. In the meanwhile, good corporate governance will help it perform better financially because economic performance demonstrates sound financial management also the specific results of this research revealed that regarding the independent variables of internal auditing, there are significant effects of internal auditing effectiveness, audit committee, audit agility and board director on the ROA indicator as one of the financial performance indicators. Also, there are significant effects of the internal auditing variables on the Tobins’Q as one of the financial performance indicators. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct more studies on the relationship between governance mechanisms and financial performance in other business sectors
Robust detection of outliers in bilinear (P,0,1,1) time series model
No full textBilinear time series model is the simplest model among the nonlinear time series models. Like other time series models, parameter estimation is a crucial process to determine the precision of the model. Nonlinear least squares (NLS) method along with Newton-Raphson (NR) iterative procedure is deemed as the best method to estimate parameters for bilinear Model. However, the existence of outliers will affect the accuracy of the estimated parameters. In addition, the effect of masking and swamping in outlier detection could also jeopardize the estimation. Therefore, detecting outliers and correcting its effects are vital in the construction of a good model. This study proposed two common detection procedures and two bootstrap detection procedures using robust estimators namely mommadn and momtn to improve the performance of outlier detection and to control the Type I error rate In bilinear (p,0,1,1) models, where p=1,2,3. The effectiveness of the detection procedures was evaluated based on the probability of outlier detection and the level of robustness based on Type I error rate which obtained from simulation study. This study focused on two types of outliers that are often encountered in bilinear data namely additional outlier and Innovational outlier. The findings revealed that the robust bootstrap detection procedures perform better than the other detection procedures. The parameter of bilinear (p,0,1,1) models were estimated through the robust NLS (RNLS) method. The effect of the identified outlier was removed by subtracting its estimated magnitude of outlier effect from observation and the model parameters were re-estimated on the corrected series. The Proposed four procedures and RNLS method improved the capability of outlier detection on real environmental data

Model pengurusan konflik Palestin-Israel: Cabaran diplomasi dan peranan mediator dalam Perjanjian Oslo 1993
No full textThe Palestinian-Israeli conflict continues to drag on despite various peace initiatives that have been worked on from time to time. Many parties have been involved in the peace process including mediators and relevant international parties. However, efforts to reach a complete solution are still deadlocked. This research has been designed to fulfill three main objectives which are to identify the structure and development of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, to examine the challenges of diplomacy in the management of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and to examine the effectiveness of the mediator's role in the 1993 Oslo Agreement. This research has used a qualitative approach by analyzing data from secondary sources through elite interviews as well as official sources of governments and international organizations, and secondary sources, in the form of books, journals, and online sources related to the Palestinian- Israeli conflict. Content analysis methods were used to analyze both types of research sources. In order to understand this conflict in depth, the Conflict Management Flow (CMF) approach and the Conflict Management Procedure (CMP) have been used to answer the objective regarding the mediator's direct actions having a major impact on Palestine and Israel and the overall implications that pave the way for further peace efforts. The results of the study have shown that mediators play a critical role in the negotiation process of the 1993 Oslo Peace Agreement. The previous diplomatic efforts that did not achieve full success give an important indication to continue looking for an appropriate approach, such as a Two-State Solution or a One-State Approach in dealing with the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. This protracted Israel. The findings of the study have also identified alternative approaches to the Palestinian- Israeli conflict and the importance of adapting different approaches according to the transformation of the conflict. The peace process needs to continue to find a suitable solution, because peace is a dynamic process and does not achieve static perfection. The study also found that reconciliation efforts in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict involve various parties, countries and international institutions that contribute significantly to the understanding of this conflict. The combination of conflict analysis and peace process approaches opens the way for a better understanding and smooth implementation of the peace process

Document analysis of elevator risk assessment practice: a case study in Lembah Klang
No full textElevator safety is a critical concern in densely populated urban areas like Lembah Klang, where elevators are integral to daily activities. This study examines risk assessment practices and compliance with safety protocols during elevator maintenance at KONE Malaysia through the analysis of documented practices. Using a qualitative research design, it employs document analysis grounded in the Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment, and Risk Control (HIRARC) framework to assess the thoroughness of documented safety measures. The findings reveal notable inconsistencies in hazard identification across teams, with better outcomes observed in teams undergoing regular standardized training. Incident response records often lack detailed evaluations, underscoring the need for improved root cause analysis. Moreover, gaps in training and compliance are identified as key factors affecting the quality of risk assessments, highlighting the necessity of consistent training programs to enhance adherence to safety standards. This study contributes to improving elevator maintenance practices by recommending enhancements to training protocols and standardizing risk assessment documentation. Theoretically, it bridges the gap between the HIRARC framework and its practical applications in document analysis, offering a valuable reference for risk management practices. Future research is encouraged to adopt mixed methods, including interviews and observations, for a more comprehensive understanding of risk management in elevator maintenance
