@ Irem Hussanie : There are many proxy for financial performance. Most times researchers in accounting uses financial ratios. like ROA, ROE, ROCE, EPS, DPS etc.... Also Balance Score Card can also be used as a proxy for financial and non financial performance.
corporate financial performance is a tricky area. You had better first clearly define performance. Different performance indicators might conflict. Accounting based indicators are questioned deeply. You may prefer to connect loan portfolio with a specific performance indicator, such as EPS, CFROI, EVA, MVA, or whatever, after justifying your choise, instead of using the term of "financial performance" which is too broad and may contain conflicting signals.
An academic contributes with the implementation of universally recognized theories, for example:
- Modeling, the relationships between the corporation and its interested third parties (agency theory, stakeholder models)
- Relate the financial performance (ROE, ROA, EVA), with the design and organizational planning, through some of the management and direction mechanisms
-Present corporate development plans, taking into account global trends.
The question about establishing the relation between Financial performance and management of loan portfolio can be answered in different ways. The simple method is first identify the measures of Financial performance(like ROA, ROE, ROCE, EPS, DPS, EVA, MVA, etc.) and than establish the relation with loan portfolio.
