This paper explores the critical influence between financial structures and project financial performance, focusing on the impact of funding sources and sustainability considerations in Saudi production projects. The financial structure of a project, encompassing the mix of debt and equity financing, significantly influences its profitability, liquidity, and long-term viability. This paper examines various funding sources available to project managers, including equity, debt. Furthermore, it underscores the importance of integrating sustainability principles into project financial structures, highlighting how neglecting environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors can negatively affect project outcomes. By understanding the implications of different financial structures and incorporating sustainability considerations, project managers can optimize resource allocation, and ensure the long-term success of their projects. The study relied on a questionnaire to collect data from a sample of administrators and accountants in Saudi production projects using a descriptive analytical approach. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results of the study indicated a positive impact of long-term loans on profitability and sustainable liquidity. It also indicated a positive impact of equity on sustainable profitability and a negative impact on sustainable liquidity in Saudi production projects.

The study examines the effect of leverage and capital on the profitability of selected Saudi Arabian Banks during the period 2014 and 2019. The banks have been selected based upon their size in terms of total assets. The profitability elements, such as Earnings per Share (EPS), Return on Assets (ROA), and Return on Equity (ROE) are the dependent variables; Total Debt Ratio (TDR), Tier 1 Capital Ratio (Tier 1 CAP), and Debt to Equity Ratio (DE) are the independent variables, and firm size is the control variable. The study estimates a pooled regression analysis to analyze the effect of these variables. The results of the study show that there is a positive relationship between the different profitability variables and Debt to Equity Ratio. The Total Debt Ratio is having positive association with ROA and ROE, and has an insignificant negative relationship with the EPS, and the Tier 1 capital ratio is having positive association with ROA and ROE, and has an insignificant relationship with the EPS.

This study aims to obtain an empirical evidence on how religiosity is moderating the effect of love of money, Machiavellian, and equity sensitivity on the perception of tax evasion. The populations in this study are individual taxpayers registered in all Pratama tax offices in Bali. Sampling was determined using the probability sampling method with proportional stratified random sampling technique. This study uses 400 research samples. The data analysis technique used is multiple linear regression analysis and moderated regression analysis. The test results provide empirical evidence that love of money and Machiavellian have a positive effect on the perception of tax evasion, however, equity sensitivity has no effect on the perception of tax evasion. The results of subsequent tests provide empirical evidence that intrinsic religiosity and extrinsic religiosity can moderate the effects of love of money, Machiavellian, and equity sensitivity on perceptions of tax evasion.

In this paper, we attempt to answer the question of whether or not bank capital affects profitability and risk. The paper forms an unbalanced panel with 354 observations using both data of 35 banks over the period 2007-2018. Two-step GMM is used to estimate the impacts of bank capital on profitability and risk in order to eliminate endogeneity and serial correlation issues. As a proxy of bank capital, the bank equity ratio, and equity level are used. Return on assets (ROA), return on equities (ROE), and net interest margin (NIM) are used to measure bank profitability, whereas nonperforming loan ratio and loan loss reserve ratio are used to measure bank risk. Bank capital displays significant impacts on profitability, which is measured by ROA and ROE, whereas capital shows no impact on bank NIM. When the loan loss reserve ratio is considered as proxy of bank risk, bank capital does not affect bank risk. The equity ratio, the proxy of bank capital, displays significant negative impacts on risk, whereas the equity level, the other proxy of bank capital, shows positive impacts on bank risk.

This research was conducted to investigate the impact of equity in foreign direct investment (FDI) firms on accountants' loyalty in Thanglong industrial park, Hanoi, Vietnam based on Equity theory. Data were collected through a survey with 150 accountants from Thanglong industrial park. With this data, we have used Cronbach's Alpha, Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and correlation analysis to determine the effects of the independent variables on the dependent variable, i.e. the loyalty of accountants. The results show that the equity in FDI firms had positive relationships with the loyalty of accountants in Thanglong industrial park. Based on this finding, this paper gives several recommendations for improvement the loyalty of accountants in Thanglong industrial park.
