| Summary: | This study attempts to examine the relationship between managerial
ownership with the informativeness of earnings in Malaysia. The
informativeness of earnings is implied by the earnings' explanatory
power for return. By using data from firms listed in the main
board trading and services sector of Bursa Malaysia Berhad, the
study found that at the level of 25%, managerial ownership has nonlinear
relationship with the informativeness of earnings. The study
also found that at the level of more than 25% managerial ownership,
the firm size, risk and level of debt have inverse relationship with
earnings. The finding perhaps offers another useful point to enhance
understanding in the corporate governance practices in Malaysia. |
