Female CEO succession and audit fees: evidence from China
A study examining the impact of CEO succession with gender change from male to female on audit fees in China found a significantly negative relationship, particularly pronounced in non-state-owned enterprises. The study, which analyzed data from A-share non-financial firms listed on the Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges from 2009 to 2015, suggests that female CEOs may enhance internal monitoring mechanisms and financial reporting quality. The findings have implications for regulatory bodies and corporate decision-makers, highlighting the potential benefits of including women in executive succession planning.

Things to do for taking a break from professional life
Taking regular breaks from professional life is essential for maintaining productivity and good mental and physical health. Occasional breaks help recharge the mind and body, similar to electronic gadgets. Activities such as traveling, retail therapy, visiting old friends, and spending 'me time' are recommended to unwind and refuel energy. Traveling opens up new opportunities, while retail therapy can provide a sense of pleasure. Reconnecting with people from the past and indulging in personal hobbies or relaxation can rejuvenate one's spirit. It is advised to take a break at least once every six months.
Qandeel Baloch: Should we expect justice for women in Pakistan?
Muhammad Waseem, who confessed to murdering his sister Qandeel Baloch, was acquitted after serving less than six years of his sentence, despite previously being sentenced to life imprisonment. The acquittal was made possible by a change of heart from the parents, who pardoned him, and upheld by the Lahore High Court. This case highlights the failures of Pakistan's justice system, particularly in protecting women and holding men accountable for their actions. The government plans to challenge the acquittal in the Supreme Court, but there is widespread skepticism about the potential outcome.
