论对公司财务报告舞弊的治理

财务治理与财务报告舞弊之间存在密切关系，公司的内、外部财务治理结构包括管理当局、董事会、监事会、注册会计师等各方面，他们都对财务报告的生成与披露产生影响。因此，防范财务报告舞弊的措施应从分析公司相关财务治理结构对财务信息的监督与制衡功能出发，改变其中的薄弱环节，强化相关的治理功能。     

公司治理与会计信息质量关系的实证研究

本文选取了因财务报告舞弊而被证监会处罚的上市公司作为研究样本 ,从股权结构、董事会特征两方面 ,对公司治理与财务报告舞弊之间的关系进行了实证分析。研究结果表明 ,法人股比例、执行董事比例、内部人控制度、监事会的规模与财务舞弊的可能性正相关 ,流通股比例则与之负相关。此外 ,如果公司的第一大股东为国资局 ,公司更可能发生财务舞弊。因此要解决上市公司的会计信息失真问题 ,应该从完善公司治理入手。     

公司治理与财务舞弊关系的经验分析

以财务舞弊上市公司为研究对象，以董事会构成和所有权结构作为公司治理变量，研究公司治理和财务舞弊之间的可能关系。研究发现，发生财务舞弊与未发生财务舞弊上市公司董事会中外部董事比例不存在显著差异；股权集中度越高的上市公司越容易发生财务舞弊；控股股东性质与财务舞弊行为不存在显著相关性。研究还发现，上市公司配股活动与财务舞弊显著负相关、公司规模与财务舞弊显著负相关、董事会规模与财务舞弊显著正相关。

独立董事能识别公司财务舞弊风险吗——基于机器学习预测财务舞弊的研究

本文利用机器学习方法预测公司的财务舞弊风险,同时结合中国特有的董事会投票的数据,考察独立董事是否能够识别公司的财务舞弊风险。研究发现,当公司财务舞弊风险较大时,独立董事更有可能对董事会的财务相关议案发表异议意见;并且,当独立董事具有更多财务背景或声誉更高时,这一关系更加显著。进一步研究发现,控制当年财务舞弊风险后,存在异议独董的公司未来财务舞弊风险更低。本文的研究结果表明,独立董事能够识别公司的财务舞弊风险并发挥监督作用,进而降低公司未来发生财务舞弊的概率。本文的研究结论为独立董事制度的有效性提供了直接的经验证据,拓展了相关领域的文献,也增进了我们对独立董事实际投票行为的认识。     

浅议完善企业内部控制——有效防范财务舞弊风险

Short-sale refinancing and price adjustment speed to bad news: Evidence from a quasi-natural experiment in China

Short selling may accelerate stock price adjustment to negative news. However, the literature provides mixed evidence for this prediction. Using short-sale refinancing and a staggered difference-in-differences (DID) model, this paper explores the effect of short selling on stock price adjustment. Our results show that (1) short-sale refinancing improves the speed of stock price adjustment to negative news. This result holds after we control for endogeneity. (2) The positive relationship between short-sale refinancing and stock price adjustment speed is significant in subsamples of stocks with higher earnings management or lower accuracy of analyst forecasts, indicating that firms with more opaque information are more likely to be targeted by short sellers. In subsamples of stocks with a higher ownership concentration or lower ownership by institutional investors, short selling is more likely to increase the speed of stock price adjustment, indicating that ownership structure may influence negative news mining. (3) As short-sale refinancing exacerbates the absorption of bad news by stock prices, it increases crash risk. This study enriches the research on the economic consequences of short selling and provides empirical evidence supporting regulations on short selling in China.     

Cost accounting standard and cost accounting systems in Japan. Lessons from the past - recovering lost traditions

This paper aims to show two things. The first is how Japanese culture has contributed to the development of Japanese cost accounting history. The second is to reveal the research possibilities of cost accounting history. This paper also reviews the salient features of several important examples of these aspects of cost accounting practice in Japan. It therefore explores, through some practical illustrations, how and why Japanese cost accounting differs from that found in the West.

Bayesian Premium Rating with Latent Structure

We propose a fully Bayesian approach to non-life risk premium rating, based on hierarchical models with latent variables for both claim frequency and claim size. Inference is based on the joint posterior distribution and is performed by Markov Chain Monte Carlo. Rather than plug-in point estimates of all unknown parameters, we take into account all sources of uncertainty simultaneously when the model is used to predict claims and estimate risk premiums. Several models are fitted to both a simulated dataset and a small portfolio regarding theft from cars. We show that interaction among latent variables can improve predictions significantly. We also investigate when interaction is not necessary. We compare our results with those obtained under a standard generalized linear model and show through numerical simulation that geographically located and spatially interacting latent variables can successfully compensate for missing covariates. However, when applied to the real portfolio data, the proposed models are not better than standard models due to the lack of spatial structure in the data.
