**Affirmed position.** WITHDRAWN: The Role of Generative AI in Enhancing Corporate Governance Quality and Financial Performance: Evidence from Emerging Economies presents the following source proposition: Findings indicated a statistically significant direct positively effect of GAI adoption on governance quality (β = 0.46), and governance quality in turn on financial performance (β = 0.41). This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that The evidence assembled in this study supports the conclusion that non and deferred prosecution agreements can play a legitimate role in addressing corporate governance shortcomings, contrary to the broad legitimacy critique in the literature. The proposed response is an extension: the relationship should remain limited to the retrieved source proposition and the mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.
