Abstract

The paper aims to examine the influence of corporate governance on the accuracy of analyst’s earnings forecasts in Vietnamese stock markets. Although previous studies have examined the influence of corporate governance on the accuracy of analysts’ earnings forecasts, there has been no study in Vietnam where the financial markets are having high growth rate of development. In the paper, we investigate the impact of corporate governance on the analysts’ forecast accuracy using panel regression. Our sample comprises 386 firm-years for the period of 2015–2020. Corporate governance is studied through the roles of state, institution, board and management ownership, board size, board independence, board gender diversity, CEO duality and female CEO/chairman. The results show that state ownership has a negative impact and institutional ownership has a positive effect on analysts’ earnings forecast accuracy whereas other corporate governance characteristics are insignificant.
