This research aimed to determine the effect of Sharia Supervisory Board cross-membership and Sharia Supervisory Board members' expertise to the disclosure of Sharia Supervisory Board's report. The analysis model used was Logistic Regression Analysis because the dependent variable in this research was dummy variable while Wald is used to test partially and omnibus test is used to test for simultaneous problems. The samples in this research were 12 Sharia Commercial Banks in Indonesia registered in Indonesia Stock Exchange in the period of 2013-2015. The type of data in this research was secondary data obtained from annual report of each company. The results have been verified by the Wald test proving that: (1) the Sharia Supervisory Board cross-membershipcoefficient is negative (-58.348) and not significant (sign 0.999) to the disclosure of the Sharia Supervisory Board's report, (2) the Sharia Supervisory Board members' expertise coefficient is positive (3.239) and significant (sign 0.05). The effect to the disclosure of Sharia Supervisory Board's report based on the result of omnibus test in which the Sharia Supervisory Board cross-membership and Sharia Supervisory Board members' expertise simultaneously have a significant effect to the disclosure of Sharia Supervisory Board's report. ; peer-reviewed

Chinese listed companies adopt a two‐tier board structure, a Board of Directors (BoD) and a Supervisory Board. They are also required to provide in their annual reports a supervisory board report (SBR). However, Congquin, a listed company, failed to issue a SBR in its 1998 annual report. This study specifically investigates the usefulness of the SBR by examining the stock market reaction to Congquin's SBR omission. The study also examines the Supervisory Board's reporting process and users' perceived usefulness of the SBR through interviews with directors, supervisory board members and senior executives of 16 listed companies. Discussions were also held with financial analysts, regulatory officials and academics. Our event study suggests that the absence of the SBR in Congquin's 1998 annual report caused a negative market reaction suggesting that investors had considered the SBR and the Supervisory Board important and were discouraged by the problems manifested by the absence of the SBR. Our interviews reveal that the usefulness of the SBR depends on the role that the Supervisory Board plays in corporate governance. If the Supervisory Board is an honoured guest, a friendly advisor, or a censored watchdog, it is unlikely that the SBR will convey much useful information. By contrast, if the Supervisory Board acts as an independent watchdog, then the SBR would be useful. Given the fact that the Supervisory Board in most of the companies that participated in the interviews fell into the first three categories, there remains a strong need to improve the usefulness of the SBR and strengthen the functioning of the Supervisory Board.

Shariah's compliance in bank operations guarantees that Islamic bank (IB) directors must maintain. The importance of shariah compliance has not been widely explained by previous researchers, especially the attribute factor of the Shariah Supervisory Board (SSB). Only Basiruddin and Ahmed (2020) have researched shariah compliance using the indicator or shariah non-compliant income (SNCI). This study uses zakat expenditure as an indicator to measure shariah compliance. The study aims to prove the role of the SSB attributes (the number of members, SSB expertise in finance/banking, experience, and educational background in shariah) on the risk of shariah compliance. This study uses a sample of 9 Islamic banks in Indonesia observed from 2010 to 2019. Using unbalanced data, the number of units of analysis is 102 bank years. Data were analyzed using panel data regression. We find that the number of SSB members and the educational background of SSB are proven to increase Shariah compliance. However, SSB's experience and expertise in finance/banking are not proven to affect Shariah's compliance. In general, SSB's involvement in strategic bank policy-making to improve Shariah compliance is evident.

Background: Dynamic and complex transformations in the hospital market increase the relevance of good corporate governance. However, hospital performance and the characteristics of supervisory boards differ depending on ownership. The question therefore arises whether hospital owners can influence performance by addressing supervisory board characteristics. Purpose: The objective of this study is to explain differences in the financial performance of hospitals with regard to ownership by studying the size and composition of supervisory boards. Methodology: The AMADEUS database was used to collect information on hospital financial performance in 2009 and 2010. Business and quality reports, hospital websites, and data from health insurer were used to obtain information on hospital and board characteristics. The resulting sample consisted of 175 German hospital corporations. We utilized ANOVA and regression analysis to test a mediation hypothesis that investigated whether decisions regarding board size and composition were associated with financial performance and could explain performance differences. Findings: Financial performance and board size and composition depend on ownership. An increase in board size and greater politician participation were negatively associated with all five tested measures of financial performance. Furthermore, an increase in physician participation was positively associated with one dimension of financial performance, whereas one negative relationship was identified for nurse and economist participation. For clerics, no associations were found. Practice Implications: Decisions concerning board size and composition are important as they relate to hospital financial performance. We contribute to existing research by showing that, in addition to board size and physician participation, the participation of other professionals can also influence financial performance.

The executive boards of large corporations in Germany continue to be in men's hands: at the close of 2014, a good five percent of executive board members at the top 200 companies in Germany were women. This is equivalent to an increase of one percentage point over 2013, which is evidence of the rather sluggish development in this area. DAX 30 companies recorded the largest proportion of female board members at a good seven percent, while the lowest share was recorded for MDAX companies (less than three percent). The representation of women on supervisory boards was better: at the end of 2014, a good 18 percent of board members were women in the top 200 companies; DAX 30 companies displayed above-average results for female board members at just below 25 percent. At a little under 14 percent, SDAX companies displayed not only the lowest percentage of women, but also the lowest increase over 2013 (0.6 percentage points). Both on executive and supervisory boards, female chairpersons remain the exception. Following the law passed by the federal government cabinet last year on equality for women and men in managerial positions, both at private companies and in the civil service, female representation, at least on supervisory boards, is likely to improve. The gender quota introduced in this legislation will come into effect on January 1, 2016. Companies with government-owned shares will also be affected by the quota regulation. Here, female representation on the supervisory boards and executive boards at the end of 2014 was just under 24 and just under 15 percent, respectively.
