Corporate Political Activities and Corporate Financial Outcomes: Australian and International Evidence

Join us for Professor Gul's inaugural public lecture as an Alfred Deakin Professor!

In this lecture, Professor Gul will draw upon the works of Francis Fukuyama and theories of political economy to provide a conceptual framework that helps explain the role of Corporate Political Activities (CPA). Specifically, he will examine the impact of firms' political connections, corporate lobbying and political donations in influencing corporate finance, financial reporting and auditing. The discussion will include empirical evidence from Malaysia, US and Australia.

Speaker:
