Signaling Theory
According to Brigham and Ehrhardt [2], signaling theory is a theory where the information provider (firm) will provide signals related to the
company that are beneficial to the recipient of the information (investor). Signaling theory helps investors to know more about the firm's
prospects. The company has more information about the internal information than other parties, so this is crucial because it will affect
investors' decisions to conduct funding.
Bysharing firm's financial reports with investors, it will help the firm describe the contents within the firm, such as assets and debt. External
parties who want to finance the firm will expect the firm to carry out maximum operational activities so that it will improve the firm
performance.
