Abstract

The principal objectives in this article is to assess and to build upon the recently published research on making a pioneering attempt to estimate equity agency costs in a large cross-sectional sample of smaller, non-publicly traded companies in the United States. The present research employs panel data for 871 manufacturing small and medium-sized enterprise (SMEs) legally organized as proprietary companies, taken from the Australian federal government's Business Longitudinal Survey conducted over four financial years from 1994-1995 to 1997-1998. The two proxies for equity agency costs that are trialed, operating expense ratio and asset turnover ratio, both appear lower in more complex agency relationships. It is also found that greater enterprise growth is significantly more evident amongst SMEs with more complex agency relationships.

Abstract

Almost every day we see reports of cybercrimes, whether involving hacking into a company's data system and stealing millions of customer accounts or exposing yet another identity theft scheme. In 2013, there were 13.1 million victims of identity theft in the United States losing more than $18 billion, which was actually a decrease of $3 billion from the previous year (Javelin Strategy & Research, 2014)! Large and small businesses, as well as individuals can be attacked and those attacks are not always by the typical hackers. Lately, we have been besieged by ransomware, click-jacking, doxxing, phishing, pharming, and even mini-drones (Ikseu & Yongyun, 2015). The expansion around the world of these high-tech cyber-crimes call for new methods and new technologies to thwart these attacks and dismantle the criminal enterprises. In this paper, the authors examine some of the latest cybercrime threats and offer recommendations to thwart those crimes and stop cyber-criminals who use technology to steal from or cause harm to individuals and/or businesses alike.
