THE CORRELATION BETWEEN SHAREHOLDING STRUCTURE, CORPORATE COMPLIANCE AND IMPACT OF CRISIS EVENTS: RESEARCH FROM THE YANGTZE RIVER DELTA REGION

Abstract

This study examines the increasingly stringent penalties imposed on enterprises for non-compliance and their consequent impact on corporate development, market order, and China’s economic growth. It investigates the factors influencing corporate compliance and incorporates an analysis of major public events that have occurred in the Yangtze River Delta region in recent years. The objective is to identify strategies for enhancing corporate compliance management, particularly in mitigating corporate losses during societal crises. The study utilises a sample of A-share listed companies in the Yangtze River Delta region from 2015 to 2022. The findings indicate that shareholding structure influences corporate compliance, while the occurrence of crisis events moderates the relationship between shareholding structure and corporate compliance
