CFO narcissism and audit fees: Evidence from listed companies in China

This paper examines the effects of CFO narcissism on audit fees in China. Using the size of CFO signatures in annual audit reports to measure individual narcissism, we find that CFO narcissism is associated with higher audit fees. We find empirical evidence that CFO narcissism significantly increases the audit fees of listed companies, and this effect is stronger in state-owned enterprises. This paper also explores the mediating effects of financial information and the engagement of prestigious Big-4 and Big-10 firms. The results show that companies with narcissistic CFOs have lower quality financial information and prefer more prestigious firms, which leads to higher audit fees. This research highlights the importance of CFO narcissism in corporate performance and provides new evidence that will be useful for listed companies that plan to hire senior executives.     

Exploring the link between internationalization of top management and accounting quality: The CFO’s international experience matters

This study examines whether and how top management internationalization is associated with accounting quality. We combine upper echelons perspectives, agency theory, human capital theory and accounting research, and demonstrate that top management internationalization mitigates the level of managerial discretion in financial reporting. By decomposing the top management team, our analysis reveals that higher levels of accounting quality are associated with the internationalization of the CFO, not the internationalization of the CEO. In particular, we find that CFO’s international education and international work experience are important factors in higher accounting quality.     

Explaining CEO retention in misreporting firms

We propose a framework that advances our understanding of Chief Executive Officer (CEO) retention decisions in misreporting firms. Consistent with economic intuition, outside directors are more likely to fire (retain) CEOs when retention (replacement) costs are high relative to replacement (retention) costs. When the decision is ambiguous because neither cost dominates, outside directors are more likely to retain the CEO when they both benefit from selling stock in the misreporting period. We show that joint abnormal selling captures director–CEO alignment incrementally to biographical overlap. This new proxy operationalizes information sharing and trust, making it useful for studying economic decision-making embedded in social relationships.     

我国上市公司CFO的现状及成长研究

在现代公司治理之中,CFO是一个不可或缺的职位,担任着公司的管理者以及总管家的角色,是企业日常经营和重大决策时不可缺少的高级参谋。一种观点认为CFO这个职位理应由财务人员担任,想当然地认为CFO中多数都是精通财务的老会计。本文研究CFO的成长之路上,什么才是最重要的。研究的结果发现,在样本选取的范围内,具有会计背景的CFO仅占了总数的18%。也就是说CFO这个职位并不是主要由财务人员担任,这主要是由于财务人员和CFO的工作重心存在着很大的不同,因此两者对任职人员的素质要求也存在很大不同。最后本文对CFO的成长之路上比较重要的要素做了总结,并对有志成为CFO的人士提出了建议。     

CFO在公司治理中的角色定位

CFO正在使公司财务管理的传统地位发生革命性的变化：他们参与公司经营的全过程，并以一种真正的伙伴关系与CEO一起进行决策。CFO立足于股东和经营管理者之间，是公司重要战略决策的制定者和执行者之一。CFO制度是现代企业制度的重要组成部分并保证现代企业制度的执行效果。本文从原始的公司治理理论入手，探寻现代公司治理对CFO的要求、CFO的责任及相应的角色定位。
