Funded Activity Summary

Bank governance and financial crisis: implications for bank risk-taking, earnings management, and information efficiency. The global financial crisis signified that the connections between the governance of banks, their performance, and the long-term stability of the financial system are not well understood. This project investigates how executives' compensation, audit efforts and ownership structure in banks impact their risk-taking, accounting choices and information flows in a global setting for the periods before and around the crisis. The project findings will advance our knowledge of how to improve the existing monitoring systems of banks to safeguard the economy and to provide a more transparent bank system. The project will also facilitate an evaluation of the effectiveness of various reforms that were initiated following the crisis.
