浅谈会计信息披露存在的问题及改进意见

一、会计信息披露的理论基础 （一）会计信息的属性 会计披露起源于复式簿记，在其漫长的发展变迁中曾先后经历以账簿披露为主体、以财务报表披露为主体以及以财务报告披露为主体等发展阶段。目前．会计披露领域正在进行着一场的变革——披露手段的创新。借助于现代信息技术，会计披露实践逐步由单一的以纸张为介质的会计披露方式过渡到以纸张和网络介质并重的新阶段。进化为以实时披露替代定期披露，以个性化会计信息披露替代通用型会计信息披露．以复合数据披露代替财务数据披露。而对它属性的界定。是决定会计信息应该由谁披露、由谁管理的重要理论依据。

会计信息质量与企业投资效率——基于深交所上市公司的经验证据

本文把会计信息质量分为会计信息编制质量和会计信息披露质量,利用深交所上市公司2007—2012年年度数据,对会计信息质量如何影响投资效率进行实证研究。研究结果显示,投资效率与会计信息编制质量、会计信息披露质量正相关,但这种相关关系均不显著,即会计信息编制质量和会计信息披露质量都不能显著促进投资效率的提高;上市公司会计信息编制质量参差不齐,会计信息披露质量不高;会计信息编制质量与会计信息披露质量不存在显著的相关关系。这些研究结论为优化会计环境、完善会计准则、加强会计信息披露的考核和评价,以及协调会计信息的编制与会计信息的披露等提出了新的课题。

The relationship between environmental information disclosure and firm valuation: the role of corporate governance

Hopwood argued that accounting has become associated with environmental concerns, and that environmental concerns will be further integrated into accounting practices in the near future. The McKinsey Company discovered that environmental information affects a firm’s value, and that investors in firms with good corporate governance in Asian countries are willing to pay a price premium of 20 % or greater. The increasing need for environmental protection and responsibility to the community on the part of firms have led to environmental protection becoming a critical focal concern of governments, public welfare associations, and the public. Effective implementation of corporate governance has been reported to enhance operating performance and increase firm value. This study applies the Ohlson valuation model to examine the value relevance of environmental information disclosure and corporate governance, and investigate their on firms in Taiwan. The results indicate relationships between total disclosure of environmental information, mandatory disclosure of environmental information, and voluntary disclosure of environmental information and firm value. Corporate governance is positively correlated with the valuation of total disclosure of environmental information and mandatory disclosure of environmental information.     

关于环境会计信息披露的设想

环境会计是现代会计的一个新兴分支。构建环境会计、实现环境会计信息披露是会计学愈益成熟的结果。是会计工作发挥更大的社会作用和走向可持续发展之路的重要标志。构建环境会计具有坚实的理论和现实基础。由于会计学特别是现代会计理论和方法的快速发展，由于环境经济学和发展经济学的日益成熟，构建环境会计、实现环境会计信息披露已经具备了足够的理论、思想指导和技术方法上的支持。     

董事会特征对会计信息披露质量的影响——来自我国上市公司的经验证据

检验了我国董事会制度改革对强制性和自愿性信息披露质量的影响。研究发现:独立董事比例、独立董事超过1/3、"二元"领导权结构、财务专业背景的独立董事比例、审计委员会的存在、以及公司规模和雇佣"四大"与会计信息披露质量成显著正相关;灰色董事和内部董事超过1/3、配股动机与会计信息披露质量成显著负相关;而董事会规模、董事会会议次数、CEO变更、董事持股比例和财务杠杠与会计信息披露质量不显著。此外,还发现独立董事超过1/3、"二元"领导权结构、财务专业背景的独立董事比例和审计委员会的存在是影响强制性和自愿性信息披露质量最为显著的因素。     

非对称信息环境下的会计信息披露

理想环境下财务报表披露的信息具有完全的相关性和可靠性。然而,财务报告所面临的现实环境是复杂的。由于存在着信息不对称,使得充分及时的会计信息披露在维护资本市场公平有效、帮助投资者预测公司未来盈利能力方面显得至关重要。会计信息披露的观点有两种:强制披露和自愿披露。在非对称信息环境下,应该既把握好强制性披露的度,又增强企业自愿披露的动机。     

To Disclose or Not to Disclose? An Investigation of the Antecedents and Effects of Open Book Accounting

Open book accounting (OBA) is the regular disclosure of management accounting information beyond corporate borders. Prior contributions have mainly concentrated on identifying its antecedents in individual or small numbers of organizations with exploratory cases. My paper responds to the call to investigate OBA on a wider empirical basis and focuses simultaneously on the explanatory variables of OBA and its influence on both financial and non-financial performance. I thus also explore the mediating role of OBA in linking key antecedents and performance within a unified theoretical framework. I empirically test my model using survey data from a sample of European companies, which are then analyzed through structural equation modeling. My findings indicate that the extent of OBA use is explained by a firm’s willingness to work together with its counterparts in the long run, that is, a relational factor, and the presence of sophisticated cost accounting systems, that is, a technical prerequisite. My evidence also suggests a positive association between OBA and firm performance. Additionally, I find that OBA is a partial mediator that explains how a firm’s long-term commitment to its external partners and the sophistication of its cost accounting system may become associated with performance.     

Voluntary Disclosure in the Annual Reports of New Zealand Companies

New Zealand is currently experiencing a liberal and competitive economic environment which has led to a greater investment interest in corporate securities. Likewise, New Zealand firms are also developing strategies to attract investors, for example, through voluntary disclosure of information. Therefore, the level of information voluntarily disclosed by New Zealand companies is of interest to prospective investors. The purpose of this study is to examine empirically the relationship between five firm-specific characteristics and the general level of accounting information voluntarily disclosed by companies listed on New Zealand Stock Exchange (NZSE). In this study the a priori expectations are based on agency theory. The five firm-specific characteristics examined are: firm size, leverage, assets-in-place, type of auditor, and foreign listing status. The results obtained from cross-sectional regression show that firm size, foreign listing status and leverage are significantly related to the extent of voluntary disclosure. In contrast assets-in-place and type of auditor are not significant explanatory variables. A study of this type would be of particular relevance to accounting policy makers because, inter alia, it helps them in (a) understanding corporate disclosure behaviour, (b) explaining why firms adopt certain disclosure strategies, and (c) developing a coherent and acceptable set of mandatory disclosure requirements.     

The influence of company characteristics and accounting regulation on information disclosed by Spanish firms

Accounting information is subject to two different influences: market pressures and pressure from regulatory bodies. This paper provides an empirical analysis of the influence of both these forces on information disclosure by Spanish firms. To test hypotheses concerning the influence of regulation, annual reports of three different years for 49 companies have been analysed. Given that new Spanish accounting rules have been in force since 1990, annual accounts of a sample of quoted companies have been analysed for the period 1989–1991. In order to consider the influence of positive accounting theory, several characteristics relating to company attributes were selected and tested empirically for the sample of 49 companies. The information disclosed by the sample companies was measured through an information index, based on a list of 50 items of information, and it was regressed on the variables related to company characteristics. The influence of regulation was analysed through a panel data analysis including time effects. The results suggest that time as a surrogate for regulation explains the level of information disclosure, although it does not influence the amount of voluntary information disclosed. However, several firm characteristics were also found to influence the level of disclosure, namely size, auditing and stock exchange.
