Abstract

Two prospective synchronous regional audits involving three tertiary plastic surgery units in mixed service hospitals were carried out to study delays in the management of emergency patients and their possible causes. Each audit was over a one‐month period. These prospective studies investigated “fasting times” (the length of time that an individual patient was fasted prior to definitive management) and “injury to theatre time” (the time span from the time of injury to the time of surgery for patients going to the operating theatre). Results are analysed and discussed and recommendations for improvement are offered.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to empirically explore the influence of independent directors (non-executive directors) on the market risks of the Indian banks.

Design/methodology/approach

This paper is based on the data collected over a period of seven years (2009-2016) for a set of 29 Indian banks that are the constituents of the National Stock Exchange 500 Index. The data for independent directors of the sample banks are extracted from the annual reports of the banks, whereas the data relating to the dependent and control variables are compiled from the Ace equity and the Reserve Bank of India databases. The study uses the panel data method for analysis of the collected data for the sample banks.

Findings

This study concludes that independent directors increase the market risks for Indian banks (measured through equity beta).

Originality/value

This is, perhaps, the first paper to look into the impact of independent directors on the market risks of Indian banks. The policymakers and banks may need to be aware of the risk implications of the findings of the study in the Indian context, such that the independent directors enable their banks in reducing the market risks.
