审计理论的经济学分析

审计理论作为一种系统化的理性认识,是人们从实践中概括出来的关于本门学科的系统结论,其目的在于用理性思维去引导审计实践,其理论基础则支撑着审计理论的形成和发展,而关于这一问题的研究,学界关注较少,且基本认为审计理论基础是由与之相关联的各个学科统一组成。本文认为要研究审计理论基础,就必须研究审计活动的产生,以及审计理论基础的学科特征,最后得出经济学是审计理论基础的结论。     

基于上市公司虚假财务报告治理的独立审计行为优化研究

独立审计人员的行为错位与虚假财务报告的产生存在一定的内在联系。从独立审计行为优化的视角研究虚假财务报告的治理,不仅是提升独立审计执业水平的客观要求,也为虚假财务报告的治理提供了一种全新的思路。通过对上市公司虚假财务报告治理的研究,确立了独立审计在中国上市公司虚假财务报告治理机制中的科学定位,构建了基于上市公司虚假财务报告治理的独立审计行为优化方案设计,提出了优化独立审计行为的对策实施体系。     

Corporate social responsibility committees and the use of corporate social responsibility assurance services

This study examines whether corporate social responsibility (CSR) committees associate with the external assurance of CSR reports. Specifically, we consider the presence and effectiveness of CSR committees. Using a sample of Australian firms over the period 2004–2016, we show the mere presence of a CSR committee is not related to the external assurance of CSR. However, CSR committee effectiveness is positively related. In addition, firms with higher CSR committee effectiveness are more likely to seek external assurance provided by the Big4 accountancy firms and acquire financial audit and CSR assurance services from the same provider. Taken together, CSR committee effectiveness plays an active role in CSR assurance services. Our results are particularly relevant to those with interests in understanding the demand and choice of external CSR assurance services, as well as the impact of corporate governance mechanisms on these services.

企业管理审计实践创新研究——以浙江民营企业为例

内部审计活动评价具有改进机构的风险管理、控制和治理体系的功能。调查发现,浙江民营企业内部审计的独立性和权威性未能实现。本文认为,应积极在民营企业内部审计过程中,推进公司治理结构审计、风险管理审计、战略决策审计、人力资源审计等,以填补我国企业审计研究与实践的空白。     

Maximin choice of voting rules for committees

In the context of a probabilistic voting model with dichotomous choice, we investigate the consequences of choosing among voting rules according to the maximin criterion. A voting rule is the minimum number of voters who vote favorably on a change from the status quo required for it to be adopted. We characterize the voting rules that satisfy the maximin criterion as a function of the distribution of voters’ probabilities to favor change from the status quo. We prove that there are at most two maximin voting rules, at least one is Pareto efficient and is often different to the simple majority rule. If a committee is formed only by “conservative voters” (i.e. voters who are more likely to prefer the status quo to change) then the maximin criterion recommends voting rules that require no more voters supporting change than the simple majority rule. If there are only “radical voters”, then this criterion recommends voting rules that require no less than half of the total number of votes.Received: June 2003, Accepted: September 2004, JEL Classification: D71Salvador Barberá, Carmen Beviá, Mirko Cardinale, Wioletta Dziuda, Joan Esteban, Mahmut Erdem, Bernard Grofman, Matthew Jackson, Kai Konrad, Raul Lopez, Jordi Massó, Hugh Mullan, Shmuel Nitzan, Ana Pires do Prado, Elisabeth Schulte, Arnold Urken and two anonymous referees provided helpful comments.

监事会财务监督有效性的实证研究

以上海和深圳证券交易所的指数成份股公司为样本，研究了上市公司监事的财务监督有效性问题。数据统计结果显示，除了在引入独立董事制度当年横截面数据回归结果不显著外，面板数据和其余年度的横截面数据都表明，监事会规模越大，线下项目的盈余管理程度越低，但监事会活动强度与盈余管理的关系不显著。总体而言，监事会对盈余管理起到了弱遏制作用。
