盈余质量差异对会计盈余信息价值相关性的影响

本文运用收益模型考察了盈余质量差异对会计盈余信息价值相关性的影响。结果发现:盈余质量好的公司ERC值比盈余质量差的公司ERC值大;盈余水平对股票收益的解释能力要强于盈余变化对股票收益的解释能力;盈余质量好的公司盈余水平解释能力要高于盈余质量差的公司的盈余水平解释能力。     

信息披露质量变化对会计盈余价值相关性的影响

本文实证研究了我国上市公司信息披露质量变化对企业会计盈余价值相关性的影响,选取深市2001-2009年的全部上市公司作为样本并剔除特定公司,利用多元回归模型进行分析,发现信息披露质量越高,则公司的会计盈余价值相关性越强,公司所披露的信息越能影响投资者的决策.     

累积超额市场回报与未预期会计收益——基于沪深股市数据的检验

股票价格与会计盈余之间的关系在财务学和会计学领域中受到了广泛的重视。本文通过以累积超额市场回报率为被解释变量,以会计盈余的水平变量和变化量为解释变量的模型,对股票价格与会计盈余之间的关系进行了检验。结果发现股票价格与会计盈余之间存在相关性。     

基于题材面事件的上市公司亏损特质研究

本文分别从亏损上市公司发生的重组、高管变更、盈余管理、关联方交易及政府挽救等事件进行研究,发现上市公司在亏损当年发生的题材面事件频率较高、种类较多,且对公司的价值影响较大;对于亏损上市公司而言,其会计盈余的价值相关性相对较弱,而各类题材面事件的预期收益表现出较强的价值相关性。     

产权性质、会计-税收差异与盈余稳健性

文章以我国2008—2012年A股上市公司数据为研究样本,在区分国有控股与非国有公司的基础上,实证检验了会计—税收差异与盈余稳健性的关系。研究发现：正会计—税收差异与盈余稳健性负相关,负会计—税收差异与盈余稳健性正相关。对国有控股公司而言,正会计—税收差异显著降低了盈余稳健性,而这一关系在非国有控股公司中并不显著;对非国有控股公司而言,负会计—税收差异增强了盈余稳健性,但这一关系在国有控股公司中并不显著。这一结论表明会计—税收差异与盈余稳健性之间的关系受公司产权性质影响。

盈余稳健性在新会计准则实施前后的比较

稳健性一直是会计确认与计量的重要原则。2006年颁布的新会计准则更加关注会计信息的相关性,势必会对会计盈余的稳健性造成一定影响。本文从盈余稳健性的角度研究新会计准则对会计信息质量的影响,通过实证分析证实了新会计准则的实施降低了我国上市公司的盈余稳健性,并进一步验证了亏损公司的盈余管理行为是我国上市公司整体表现出盈余稳健性的主要原因。     

家族企业的“掏空”行为与会计盈余质量

以2003-2004年家族控制的上市公司为研究样本,实证考察了控制性家族的"掏空"行为对会计盈余质量的影响。研究结果表明,控制性家族的"掏空"行为加剧了公司内部人与外部投资者之间的信息不对称,降低了会计盈余的可靠性和价值相关性。上市公司的盈余管理程度与"掏空"行为显著正相关,会计盈余的信息含量与"掏空"行为显著负相关。     

盈余管理对会计信息价值相关性影响

本文分析了盈余管理存在对会计盈余和权益账面值价值相关性的影响。结果表明,盈余管理并不会降低会计盈余的价值相关性,但在一定程度上提高权益账面值的价值相关性。表明我国资本市场由于信息不对称,投资者难以判断会计盈余是否被操纵,会更多地依赖相对可靠权益账面值信息进行估值。     

审计师工作量压力与盈余质量——基于门槛模型的研究

采用2012-2016年我国上市公司及其签字审计师为样本,引入门槛回归模型,实证分析不同事务所组织机制支持下审计师个人工作量压力如何影响审计行为决策及盈余质量。研究结果表明:会计师事务所行业专长存在门槛效应,行业专长水平越高,事务所组织支持力度越大,审计师工作量压力对公司盈余质量的负面影响越小;会计师事务所综合评价存在门槛效应,事务所综合评价水平越低,事务所组织支持力度越小,审计师工作量压力对公司盈余质量的负面影响越大;会计师事务所人力资本存在门槛效应,人力资本质量越高,审计师工作效率越高,审计师工作量压力对公司盈余质量的负面影响越小。     

Environment Restricts and Policy Choice in International Harmonization of Accounting Standards and Effect Evaluation——Evidence from the Non-monetary Transaction

The paper tests accounting earnings quality of the non-monetary transaction standard before and after the revision, and comes to the conclusion that the standard revision under domestic conditions which restricts the use of fair value and does not recognize exchange revenues effectively prevents the company from managing earnings to improve earnings quality. The earnings management of the public companies has become more difficult, and earnings quality has been improved. But the earnings management of the public company does not decrease, some public companies make earnings management by other ways, The researcher provides direct evidence in explaining environment restricts have a role in accounting internationalization, explaining the difficulties of standard-making.     

内部控制审计强制规则对会计信息价值相关性的影响研究

我国内部控制审计经历了由自愿规则至强制规则的转变,以2007—2021年内部控制审计上市公司为样本,研究不同规则下内部控制审计与会计信息价值相关性之间的关系。研究发现：相对于自愿规则,强制规则减弱了会计信息价值相关性;强制规则在审计意见类型和审计模式对会计信息价值相关性的影响程度上有所不同。盈余质量、机构投资者和分析师关注均可以缓解强制规则对会计信息价值相关性的负向影响。研究结论表明在当前强制规则下,上市公司在加强内部控制建设以获取无保留审计意见的同时,还应关注独立审计模式带来的增量价值;提高盈余质量,充分发挥机构投资者和分析师的作用,也有助于缓解信息不对称,提高会计信息价值相关性。     

SFAS 133 and income smoothing via discretionary accruals: The role of hedge effectiveness and market volatility

This study investigates whether the Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 133 (SFAS 133) influences firms’ income smoothing via discretionary accruals decisions. Moreover, we investigate whether the level of hedge effectiveness and market volatility affects the impact of SFAS 133 on firms’ income smoothing via discretionary accruals decisions. Consistent with our predictions, we find a significant increase in income smoothing via discretionary accruals activity after the adoption of SFAS 133. We also find that income smoothing via discretionary accruals after the adoption of SFAS 133 increases with the level of hedge ineffectiveness. By contrast, we find that perfect hedgers do not engage in more income smoothing via discretionary accruals after the adoption of SFAS 133. Finally, we find that the higher the market volatility is the larger the income smoothing is via discretionary accruals after the adoption of SFAS 133. This implies that higher market volatility makes it more difficult for firms to meet hedge accounting requirements, thereby increasing unmanaged earnings volatility and income smoothing. Prior studies suggest that regulators are expressing concern about the effect of earnings management on the quality of reported earnings and the functioning of capital markets (e.g., Barton, 2001 ). In this regard, our findings imply that accounting standard setters should take into account the trade‐off between transparency and income smoothing.     

交易所年报问询能提升上市公司盈余质量吗？——基于深交所数据的实证分析

在上市公司公告年报后,交易所会组织专业人员对年报进行审核,并针对可能的疑问向上市公司发放年报问询函,要求公司回复并公开披露。基于这一制度背景,以深交所A股上市公司为研究对象,针对2014年至2017年间年报被问询的上市公司进行研究,发现在控制其他因素后,当年度年报被交易所问询的公司,其盈余管理程度更高、盈余质量更差,表明交易所在年报审核中是有的放矢的,关注到此类盈余质量更差的公司;同时发现,国有控股公司被问询的可能性低于非国有控股公司,表明交易所在年报问询中可能存在偏倚现象;进一步检验发现在年报被问询后,公司次年的盈余管理程度依然较高,盈余质量并未得到改善,年报问询这一非处罚性监管措施在改善盈余质量方面的监管效果有限。     

上市公司会计信息质量度量的研究综述

关于会计信息质量的度量,一直是学术界的疑难问题,缺乏一个统一的度量模型。国内外学者采用不同的替代变量,从不同角度来度量会计信息质量水平,基于此,本文从监管机构对信息披露质量的评价、应计质量、会计稳健性、盈余平滑度和会计信息质量指数等五个方面对会计信息质量的度量方法进行了综述。     

IFRS and Secrecy: Assessing Accounting Value Relevance Across Africa

We examine the value relevance of accounting across several African countries and test whether IFRS improved the value association of earnings and equity book values. We report a stronger valuation association between accounting and stock prices in African countries classified as having a secrecy culture. This increases after IFRS and more so for earnings. On the other hand, IFRS induced a stronger increase in the book value coefficient in the less secretive and more developed South African market. We surmise that the more conceptual focus of IFRS induced an increased demand for higher‐quality accounting professionals, which had a filtering‐down effect of improving quality information flow and breaking down the secrecy culture. Our research highlights the diverse impacts of IFRS and the role of culture, asset markets and accounting professionalism, in driving the relevance of accounting components across Africa.     

An Evaluation of the Value Relevance of Consolidated versus Unconsolidated Accounting Information: Evidence from Quoted Spanish Firms

In this paper we investigate the value-relevance of consolidated versus parent company accounting information. In particular we investigate the value relevance of the minority interest components of net total assets and earnings as currently reported and under the full entity approach to consolidated reporting. An Edwards-Bell-Ohlson valuation framework is used to generate results. By this means we cast light on the suitability of accounting regulation being developed based upon the entity or parent company theories of consolidation. We carry out the analysis in the Spanish context and the sample contains 474 observations of non-financial firms quoted in the Madrid Stock Exchange for the period 1991–97. The results from this analysis not only have domestic relevance but provide guidance of a more international nature relating to the impact of group definition, concepts of control and the most value relevant method of consolidated disclosure. The results show that, from a valuation perspective, consolidated information dominates non-consolidated, or parent company, information. However, neither the currently reported minority interest components of net total assets and earnings, nor their values under the full equity method of consolidation, are found to be value relevant. These results raise the question of whether group definitions based on the equity theory of consolidation are the most useful to investors.     

The contractual and value relevance of reported earnings in a dividend-focused environment

This study investigates the relevance of reported earnings in the context of an institutional environment, i.e., Switzerland, in which investors focus on dividends. In conjunction with a dividend focus, the financial reporting environment faced by Swiss firms provides their managers with more accounting discretion than managers of Anglo-Saxon firms typically have. From a contractual perspective, dividendbased earnings management is expected since Swiss corporate law explicitly states that dividends, which must be voted on by stockholders, are to be based upon a firm's reported earnings. From a value perspective, thin trading conditions and a long-term investment horizon are expected to increase the importance of dividend payments and to influence the informativeness of reported earnings. Results indicate that Swiss managers do engage in dividend-based earnings management, that earnings quality signals are used by managers to voluntarily constrain their accounting choices and that the value relevance of earnings is conditional upon dividend payments.     

Value Relevance of IAS 27 (2003) Revision on Presentation of Non-Controlling Interest: Evidence From Hong Kong

This study investigates the value relevance of the IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements (2003) revision, which requires the presentation of non-controlling interest as components of equity and earnings. The investigation is carried out in the context of companies publicly listed in Hong Kong during 2004–2006 where IAS 27 (2003) is replaced by the local but word-for-word equivalent standard of HKAS 27 (2004). The results of this study provide strong evidence that the revision has significant value relevance in changing investors' perception about non-controlling interest, which is no longer perceived as liabilities. Investors have apparently not been confused by the revised presentation of non-controlling interest within equity and continue to associate company values only with the equity amount actually owned by the parent company's shareholders. The results of this study give support for the accounting regulator's first move towards the economic unit theory of consolidated financial statements.
