    The ex-dividend day returns are composed of the capital gains component and the dividends component. This study mainly examines the relationship between the 1997 abolition of the tax-credit and the ex-dividend day abnormal stock returns in the UK market (London Stock Exchange). The 1997 abolition of the tax credit on dividend effectively reduced the income of pension funds and other tax-exempt shareholders who had a strong preference for dividends. This study finds that the ex-day abnormal returns (AR) declined from +0.0580 percent during the pre-abolition periods to -0.1459 percent during the post-abolition periods. This decline is statistically significant with a t-value of 2.0431. From these results it would appear that the ex-dividend day AR changed following the 1997 abolition of tax credits on dividends. Moreover the comparison tests of ex-day drop-off ratios between pre-and post-abolition periods show that drop-off ratios for all dividend yield groups increased significantly from 0.519 in the pre-abolition periods to 0.574 over the post-abolition periods with a t-value of 2.183. Thus, the decrease on ex-day AR was further supported by a significant increase in the average price-drop to dividend ratios. The decline in the ex-day AR for the post-abolition periods seems to be driven primarily by quintile 5 (the highest dividend yield quintile). Quintile 5 exhibits strong dividend preference and this preference is likely caused  by the  imputation system that provides a tax advantage to the tax exempt shareholders. This finding appears to suggest that the highest dividend yield securities are likely to be held by tax-exempt investors such as pension funds that were affected by the abolition of the tax credits on dividend

    The Response of Corporate Dividend Policy to The Abolition of Tax Credit in the United Kingdom (U.K.)

    By abolishing the tax credit on dividends received by tax-exempt financial institutions in 1997, the effective rate of tax for share-holders such as pension funds increases significantly, and the tax preference for dividends is significantly reduced. The tax-exempt shareholders mainly consist of pension funds and insurance companies with respect to their pension business. This tax-exempt community is the most influential shareholders in many U.K. companies, and their tax preference for dividends may have an important impact on corporate dividend policy. The objective of this study is to examine whether the aggregate dividend payment changes following the 1997 abolition of the tax credit. Using aggregate data in time series from 1974 to 1999, this study finds that the percentage of forecast error in Lintner’s model does not change significantly between the pre- and post-abolition periods. Hence, there is no evidence that aggregate dividend payment decreases following the abolition of tax credit. This could be interpreted that the aggregate sample of U.K. firms indicates a little intention of changing their dividend policies in response to the abolition of tax credit. This study also investigates whether individual U.K. companies respond to the 1997 abolition of tax-credit. The test results show that the majority of companies in the sample do not change their dividend policies after the abolition of tax credit. It is possible that companies are reluctant to cut their dividend payment since the existing dividend payout could be sustained in the long-run. They also avoid sending negative signals to the market. Thus, companies typically chose to keep a dividend level relatively stable following the tax change in 1997. Only the minority of the U.K. companies experience a decline in their dividend payment. This evidence supports the hypothesis that the abolition of tax credit on dividends results in a decrease in aggregate dividend payment in order to satisfy a tax clientele

    An Analytical Assessment of Assurance Practices in Social Environmental and Sustainable Reporting in the United Kingdom and North America

    Get PDF
    The objective of this study is to continue and extend previous studies in evaluating the extent to which current assurance practices promote transparency and accountability to stakeholders. This is carried out by conducting an empirical analysis of the content of assurance statements accompanying a sample of non-financial reports short-listed for the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) U.K. Sustainability Reporting Award and the CERES-ACCA Sustainability Reporting Award from 2006 to 2008. The findings of this study show that several new trends in social, environmental and sustainability assurance can be observed. Firstly, accountants tend to limit their intended readership to management only and state a disclaimer for other potential readers. This diminishes the transparency and stakeholder accountability of the reporting. Secondly, there is even stronger evidence that management has the control over the scope of the assurance engagement and over what information gets publicly disclosed. The evidence is shown in the fact that in many assurance statements prepared by accountants, only selected parts of the reports are being assured, with no indication that it is not management who selects these parts. Finally, the recent practices of assurance engagements represented by the sample in this study have not improved the transparency and stakeholder accountability of social, environmental and sustainable reporting. Similar to the two previous studies, we assert that a generally accepted standard is needed to promote assurance statements that add meaningful values to the reliability of social, environmental and sustainability reporting

    This research is dealt with political factors using internal and external organization supports as proxy. Besides that, it also uses information system as variables that influence work performance measurement development as well as the utilization of performance information in budgeting. This research attempts to test and confirm whether such factors are consistently influential toward work performance measurement development and utilization of performance information in budgeting as conducted by the previous studies. It uses random sampling system,consisting of 316 executives with the echelon ranks of 2, 3, and 4 at the regional government offices, Jogjakarta, Indonesia. This research reveals that political factor influence utilization of performance information in budgeting, both directly and indirectly through performance measurement development. In addition, information system capability, incapabilityof explaining and assessing performance metrics (as technical factors) do not influence either directly or indirectly both work performance measurement development and utilization of performance information in budgeting. Yet, another technical factor, which is technical knowledge, has significant influence toward work performance measurement development in budgeting. These findings imply that the change into performance measurement-based budgeting is influenced by the regional government’s internal and external support, external participations such as society for escorting the regional government officials in facing the budgeting system change

    Jakarta Composite Index (JCI) continued rising since Indonesia passed from the monetary crisis in 1997-1999 and reach its peak in early 2008. JCI plunged to the lowest point in November 2010 when the economic crisis hit USA and Europe in 2008. Then JCI continued to rebound until the thesis was written in May 2011. In 2010 JCI provided return in the amount of 46.13%, while the highest return of LQ45 stock showed by KLBF reaching up to 150%. This thesis undertakes to find another LQ45 stocks which have similar characteristics with KLBF stock as a target of investments to get high return. The research is conducted by comparing performance amongst LQ45 stocks through comparison ratios from financial statements in 2010 LQ45. Then undertakes prioritizing selection on LQ45 stock by Taguchi Loss Function method. The first step is investigating to find out what are the significant financial ratios influencing LQ45 stock return. The ratios are Earning Per Share (EPS), Price to Earning Ratio (PER), Book Value (BV), Price to Book Ratio (PBV), Return on Assets (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE), Debt to Equity Ratio (DER), Net Profit Margin (NPM), and Operating Profit Margin (OPM). The data of financial ratios and LQ45 stock return used in earlier research are using financial reports from 2008 until 2010. The results founded that the ratios of the most influential on the LQ45 stock return are PBV and ROA. Then by using KLBF�s PBV and ROA we can selected prioritizing selection on another LQ45 stocks by Taguchi Loss Function method. Taguchi method was originally used in many manufacturing industries, but lately has been widely used in other sectors such as services, accounting, insurance and financial services. By using a 30% tolerance on KLBF�s PBV and ROA ratio, then the loss function was calculated to prioritizing selection on LQ45 stocks are AALI, HEXA, INTP, UNTR, SMGR and ASII. Another conclusion of this research was the LQ45 stocks with the highest returns do not always include in prioritizing stock on LQ45 by Taguchi Loss Function. It is found that amongst stocks in prioritizing stock selection on LQ45 only HEXA, UNTR and ASII that can beat return JCI throughout 2010 surpassed. Stocks in prioritizing selection on LQ45 derived from a variety of different sectors from KLBF and also have any market capitalization
