Board diversity and ownership structure in ASEAN countries: a bibliometric review

2021-10 , Haslina Hassan Basri , Wan Sallha Yusoff , Mohd Fairuz Md Salleh , Suraiya Ibrahim

This study reviews the research on board diversity in ASEAN countries. A total of 326 articles published from 1996 to 2018 were obtained from Scopus citation database. A bibliometric analysis was conducted to map the knowledge base and intellectual structure of board diversity in the ASEAN region. Findings indicate that the publication of papers in this area of studies started to grow from early 2000. The active journals that publish articles within the domain of board diversity in ASEAN countries are mostly from university publishers, which have low citation count per document. The highest cited documents were published under Emerald and Elsevier. Influential authors who focused on board diversity come from Malaysia and Indonesia countries. Studies focusing in other ASEAN countries are limited. The hotspot topic was limited to observable attributes of board diversity, namely gender, age, and ethnicity. The literature that measured non-observable attributes of board diversity were lacking in the literature. Moreover, studies on ownership structure mostly focus on family ownership and foreign ownership. Only a few studies were done on government ownership and politically connected board. To the best of the author’s knowledge, this study is one of the first bibliometric reviews conducted on board diversity in ASEAN countries. This study outlines the direction for future research with the aim to support the integration of good corporate governance practices in ASEAN.

2023-06-12 , Ibrahim S. , Wan Sallha Yusoff , Mohd Affendi Ahmad Pozin , Zahari N.F. , Afizah Ayob

Malaysia is heading into a new era of digital transformation and automation. An innovative digital system enables to streamline the production of goods. In general, the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) has constructed a National Policy for Industrial Revolution 4.0. It encourages innovation to enhance its productivity and sustainability. In line with that, Malaysia's government introduced a smart factory to the manufacturing practices, specifically manufacturing SMEs. The Industrial 4.0 standards including highly agile, efficient and automated production lines integrated into technological procedures. However, the smart factory operates in a highly digitised environment involved in Big Data analysis, emphasising governance, risk management, and compliance. One of the significant issues faced within a smart factory includes the cost and scale to suit the technology used. Also, issues related to technological complexity always creating uncertainty in the business case. It hinders the decision-making process in the case of cost data overflow. Thus, the smart factory needs smart governance to assist in its decision-making. The study primarily investigates emerging critical elements of governance practices, risk management, and compliance that enhance product capacity. Secondly, propose an innovative factory governance model and its impact on Malaysian manufacturing SMEs' cost and production capacity. The study explores governance, risk management, and compliance implemented through the smart factoryin manufacturing SME within the lens of qualitative methodology. Simultaneously, the quantitative methodology uses to triangulate by optimising product capacity using different evaluation methods. Therefore, this studyaddresses the gaps by proposing a new smart factory governance model to fill the gaps in achieving the NationalPolicy on Industrial 4.0.

2011-02 , Wan Sallha Yusoff , Chuthamas Chittithaworn , Noor Asliza Abdul Rahim

The unavailability of external financing and lack of access to formal finance are topics of significant research interest to academicians and important issues to policy makers around the globe. However compared to large firms, SMEs frequently tend to report financing as a major obstacle. The financial constraints of SMEs to access to finance are beyond question by many researchers. Thus, this study attempts to discuss the factors that lead to influence financial institutions in lending technologies to provide finance to SMEs in Malaysia. The methodologies on the relationship between the requirements of financial institutional and the type of lending technologies provided for SMEs is illustrate. This conceptual paper is aimed to improved the theoretical parts of analysis, on the factors influencing Financial Institutions on lending technologies to technology-based SMEs in the northern region of Malaysia and identify the challenges issues regarding the requirements of financial providers based on the lending technologies adoption, be it transaction lending or relationship lending. Furthermore, the methodologies will also be able to assist researchers to get more iriformation on the unique needs for finance of SMEs and tailor the finance providers' requirements to be SMEs friendlier i.e. better meet SMEs ability and needs in order to achieve win-win situation.

Modelling and evolutionary computation optimization on FDM process for flexural strength using integrated approach RSM and PSO

2021-02-01 , Mohd Sazli Saad , Azuwir Mohd Nor , Mohd Zakimi Zakaria , Mohamad Ezral Baharudin , Wan Sallha Yusoff

Fused deposition modelling (FDM) is a modern rapid prototyping (RP) technique due to its potential to replicate a concept modelling, prototypes tooling and usable parts of complex structures within a short period of time. However, proper parameter selection is crucial to produce good quality products with reasonable mechanical properties, such as mechanical strength. In this study, four important process parameters, such as layer thickness, printing speed, print temperature and outer shell speed, are considered. These parameters are studied to observe their relationship towards the flexural strength of the polylactic acid (PLA) printed parts. The experimental design is conducted based on the central composite design in response surface methodology (RSM). Statistical analysis is performed using analysis of variance (ANOVA), in which the correlation between input parameters and output response is analysed. Next, the evolutionary algorithm optimisation approach, i.e., particle swarm optimisation (PSO), is applied to optimise the process parameters based on the regression model generated from the ANOVA. Results obtained from the PSO method are experimentally validated and compared with those of the traditional method (i.e., RSM). The flexural strength from experimental validation obtained using PSO exhibits an improvement of approximately 3.8%. The optimum parameters for layer thickness (A), print speed (B), print temperature (C) and outer shell speed (D) of approximately 0.38 mm, 46.58 mm/s, 185.45 °C and 29.59 mm/s result in flexural strength of 96.62 MPa.

The impact of forensic accounting technique and effective internal control on creative accounting

2022-06 , Zardasht Abubaker Qader Barzinji , Wan Sallha Yusoff , Mohd Sofian Mohammad Rosbi , Mohd Fairuz Md Salleh

This article aims to study the impact of forensic accounting techniques and effective internal control activities (creative accounting) and the necessary expertise for forensic accountants in diagnosing these creative accounting activities depending on the structural equation model. A survey question including 22 inquiries was prepared and distributed by Google Form to 83 accounting experts (auditors) in Iraq to achieve the research objectives by utilising Smart PLS. The researchers arrived at a set of findings after analysing the questionnaire's questions. The critical importance of most of these results is that forensic accounting techniques have negative consequences, according to this study, on creative accounting; on the other hand, the results of effective internal control were positive for creative accounting. These results offer suggestions, including deepening the field of creative accounting techniques and their impact on the environment of Iraqi companies and the techniques required to apply them through organising forums and educational practices that teach them the techniques and objectives of forensic accounting and prospecting for creative accounting and identifying its dimensions to be dealt with according to the requirements of the Iraqi environment.

The influence of forensic accounting competence and independent audit committee on anti-fraud in firm performance

2022-06 , Zardasht Abubaker Qader Barzinji , Wan Sallha Yusoff , Mohd Sofian Mohammad Rosbi , Mohd Fairuz Md Salleh

Anti-fraud is a special field in identifying, diagnosing and treating fraud, and entails the gathering, management, investigation, and utilisation of business data. This research investigated the effect of both the forensic accounting competence (FAC) and the independent audit committee (IUC) on anti-fraud in firms' performance of private companies registered in the Iraqi Stock Exchange, and used Smart PLS and SPSS (version 26), with a population of 94 survey participants. The result was positive for both variables on preventing fraud in the performance of Iraqi companies. As a result, the specialisation in the FAC and IUC is required in the world's most commercial and financial entities. Accounting and auditing staff have been pressured by national bodies and legislators to change their accounting curricula, include courses in forensic accounting competency, and pay attention to the audit committee because attention to these two areas properly increases the performance of companies in this work context avoid fraud. However, accounting and auditing professionals prepared according to the current curriculum have little understanding, competencies, and abilities to set organisational goals and perform them as required. As a result, this study evaluated research philosophies, cognitive research ideas, and strategies. It could be used to integrate the FAC and IUC into the best-performing economic entities.

2023-04-24 , Ibrahim S. , Wan Sallha Yusoff , Ummi Naiemah Saraih , Nurfareena Zahari , Mohd Affendi Ahmad Pozin

NPOs in Malaysia rely on public trust to exist. However, trust has always been difficult due to a lack of accountability. This study was implemented through a comparative case of NPOs in Malaysia. Performance accountability reporting practices are crucial because NPOs involve and potentially face implications for public trust. In this study, valorising on institutional work perspective was adopted as its theoretical underpinning and mobilized to trace how NPOs engaged in elective accountability. By using the qualitative case study, in-depth interviews have been done to gain insightful information related to performance accountability reporting. Interestingly, the findings of the study suggested that performance accountability reporting had been shifted to concentrate on the non-financial disclosures include social media platform that is relevant to the public. This study contributes to the new knowledge by understandings how NPOs strategy of accountability enhance public trust and, therefore, support their mission statement.

Corporate performance and service innovation: an empirical investigation in a manufacturing-based organization

2021-06 , Ai Tong, Aphassra , Ummi Naiemah Saraih , Wan Sallha Yusoff

The purpose of this research is to investigate if there are significant influences of corporate performances on service innovation. There are four internal variables under the domain of corporate performance; where the four stated independent variables are depicted based on the past researchers’ studies including of organizational culture, management commitment, training and development, as well as organizational communication. As manufacturing sector played a central role in its endeavour towards the developing countries, service innovation in the manufacturing-based organization is important to transform the traditional operation to become more competitive. Convenience sampling method has been used in this research. The population of this research is the employees who work in one of the manufacturing-based organization located in Penang, Malaysia. The number of completed questionnaires that given back is 201 respondents. Pilot study has been computed to the developed questionnaires validity and reliability. Data analysis was performed using the IBM Statistical Package for Society Sciences (SPSS) Version 25. Research finding has revealed that there were two hypotheses related to organizational culture and organizational communication have significant influence on service innovation. These imply that culture and communication develop sustainable competitive advantage and growth of corporate performance on service innovation. Whereas the other two hypotheses related to management commitment, and training and development have no significant influence on service innovation. This due to the lack of commitment from the management being portrayed to the employees in the organization; or the provided training and development is inadequate to the position of the employees.
