Our study investigates the causal relationship between managerial litigation risk and auditor choice decisions. Exploiting the staggered adoption of universal demand (UD) laws at the state level in the United States, we use a stacked regression approach and find a lower propensity for affected firms to switch to higher-quality auditors after the exogenous reduction of managerial litigation risk. This result supports the managerial entrenchment hypothesis that lower litigation risk leads to more managerial entrenchment, which allows managers to be opaque in order to enjoy private benefits. This negative effect is mitigated for firms with more audit committee industry expertise and for firms that are more reliant on external finance. Our study contributes to our understanding of how regulatory changes that have an impact on agency problems affect firms' demand for auditing. 相似文献

新《公司法》及司法解释有关股东代位诉讼的规定增加了股东诉讼的类型、明确了诉讼原告的范围、扩大了股东诉权的范围、加大了责任追究的力度,对股东诉权的保护取得了重大突破。但是,现行规定仍有粗疏之处,亟待新的司法解释出台,应从公司内部救济程序例外情形的具体化、地域管辖上的专属化、公司当事人地位的独立化、审理程序上的特殊化、限制原告实体性处分行为的程序化以及诉讼费用的非财产化等多个方面予以补充规定。 相似文献

Biodiversity is important to human's future survival and global sustainability. One way to achieve corporate sustainability is for firms to report its impacts on biodiversity. However, fear of litigation arising from reporting potentially deters corporations to disclose such information. Motivated by the importance of biodiversity and mixed evidence of shareholder litigation rights as a corporate governance tool, we explore whether the universal demand laws (UDLs) have any effect on corporate biodiversity reporting in the United States. Supporting our short-termism, risk aversion and agency hypotheses, we find that an exogenous decline in the threat of derivative litigation, reducing a chance for shareholders to file a lawsuit against top management and intensifying agency costs, economically and significantly decreases a corporate's biodiversity reporting by 87%. When the disciplining effect of shareholder litigation drops, the self-interest manager may want to live a quiet life and disclose less information of biodiversity impact. A proactive business strategy to mitigate litigation and reputational risks is to voluntarily disclose more biodiversity-related information. Regulators around the world should also promote rigorous reporting requirements to reverse biodiversity loss and save our humanity. 相似文献

The language that signals conformity to a prevailing norm can contribute to the appearance of managerial competency and organizational legitimacy. We argue that top corporate managers’ use of language that is congruent with a prevailing norm leads the boards of directors to evaluate the managers more favourably and to grant a higher level of compensation. We test this argument by analysing the letters to shareholders from 334 US firms and examine the CEOs’ expression of the shareholder value principle, which is a prevailing model of corporate governance in the USA. We found that the use of shareholder‐value language is significantly related to a higher level of CEO compensation and that the effect of shareholder‐value language is greater when shareholder activism is stronger. 相似文献

利用2014—2018年在上海证券交易所和深圳证券交易所上市公司的非平衡面板数据作为研究样本,研究了机构投资者股东积极主义、审计委员会主任背景特征和审计委员会治理效率三者的关系,得到如下结论:(1)审计委员会主任委员的声誉水平与审计委员会治理效率呈正相关;(2)在审计委员会主任委员本地化的情况下,公司审计委员会的治理效率更高;(3)和机构投资者持股比例较低的公司相比,在机构投资者持股比例较高的公司中,审计委员会主任委员的声誉以及是否本地化特征能够更加有效地提高审计委员会的治理效率;(4)相比于交易型机构投资者,稳定型机构投资者能够正向调节审计委员会主任背景特征与审计委员会治理效率之间的正相关关系。 相似文献

我国公司治理中一直存在控股股东一股独大的问题,控股股东的自利行为严重地影响了公司的健康成长,而对于规避这一弊端的讨论并没有形成有效的解决办法。本文通过引入机构投资者作为外部持股股东,探讨了机构投资者制衡控股股东对公司经营决策的单方面控制的重要作用,从而为政策制定者制定公司治理政策提供决策参考。 相似文献

利用我国上市公司截面数据,研究了控股股东所有制性质的改变对上市公司业绩的影响,结果发现,第一,总体上,控股股东所有制性质在国家股、国有法人股以及私有股之间的变更对公司业绩没有显著性影响。第二,同控股股东的国家股或私有股性质相比,控股股东变更为国有法人股更可能改善公司业绩。所谓"国有资本所有者缺位"主要体现在国家股所有者缺位。第三,控股股东的私有性质对公司业绩没有显著影响,这可能是私有控股股东隐瞒利润的结果。 相似文献

针对股权分置问题,股改公司提出的对价类型各有千秋,这就为评价股改方案的优劣和股改成败的分析带来了问题。不同的对价方案对比分析应该建立在相同的比较基础上,因而必须构建一个新的可比指标。为此,结合目前已经完成股改的上市公司对价方案类型,选取了主要采用的几类形式,在不改变股票内在价值和流通市值的条件约束下,论证提出了一个统一的对价分析基础原则。 相似文献

Corporate Governance has become a widely discussed topic in Japan among academics and practitioners. But companies, protected under a tight system of cross‐shareholding, seem slow to adopt new models accepted outside Japan. This article discusses the changes in the composition of shareholding, which together with legal changes are leading to greater awareness among Japanese companies of corporate governance as well as greater shareholder activism. 相似文献

The catastrophe caused by the failure of Enron could not compare with the damage this company would have caused if it had succeeded. The relentless emphasis on the importance of shareholder value in recent times has created the conditions for the disconnection of corporations such as Enron from their essential moral underpinnings, encouraging them to concentrate exclusively on financial performance, and to neglect not just the wider stakeholder interests of customers and employees, but the essential interests of the economies and communities in which they operate. The problem with established economic theories of corporate governance is that they misconceive the irreducible core of corporate governance, at the same time as underestimating the complexity of the phenomenon. 相似文献

Abstract. Brand names or trademarks carry incredible economic power and prestige. There is increasing recognition by world bodies that intellectual property (IP), whether manifested in patents, trademarks, copyrights or trade secrets, is highly valuable and must be protected through robust IP enforcement. The USA is an interesting natural laboratory as patent, trademark and copyright litigation battles have been raging domestically for some time. The paper discusses the four main forms of IP assets, the legal remedies that are available to enforce the property rights inherent in each type of IP asset, the basic damages theory relating to each form of IP, and how damages may be calculated when each type of asset is presumed to be infringed. The increased recognition of the value of IP has led to stronger enforcement of IP protection, an increase in IP litigation, and growing policy actions that are focused on how that protection should be manifested. An empirical analysis of how the IP litigation activity in the USA has changed over time is also presented. 相似文献

以2016—2020年A股上市公司为研究对象,研究年报监管问询对审计师定价决策的影响机制。结果表明:年报监管问询通过增加非控股大股东退出威胁的可信度和威胁程度,提高了审计费用,即非控股大股东退出威胁发挥了中介效应。从问询函特征来看,被问询次数越多以及公司回函越详细,非控股大股东退出威胁的中介效应越显著。进一步从内外部监督视角来看,非控股大股东退出威胁的中介效应在选择不具有行业专长事务所以及董事会独立性低的上市公司中更显著。拓展性研究发现,审计费用的增加是因为购买高质量的审计服务,而并不是因为审计意见购买。上述结论丰富了年报监管问询在公司治理层面经济后果的研究,拓展了非控股大股东退出威胁和审计费用的相关研究。 相似文献
