Abstract

This study investigates the effects of foreign ownership on accounting conservatism adoption in Vietnam. Although foreign ownership is found to have a positive relationship with accounting conservatism in Korea (An, 2015), there is still no general agreement on it. In this regard, the purpose of this study is to shed more light on the association between foreign ownership and accounting conservatism. Using data from Vietnamese firms listed on stock exchanges, the study finds that in contrast to the findings of An, foreign ownership is negatively associated with accounting conservatism. This result supports the transient hypothesis of foreign ownership, indicating that foreign investors with the low level of ownership do not have significant incentives to oversee managers, thus not influencing financial reporting quality.

外资所有权是否影响越南会计稳健性的采用

本研究探讨外资所有权对越南会计稳健性采用的影响。尽管在韩国发现外资所有权与会计稳健性呈正相关关系(An, 2015)，但仍未达成普遍共识。在这方面，本研究的目的是阐明外资所有权与会计稳健性之间的关系。利用越南证券交易所上市公司的数据，该研究发现，与An的研究结果相反，外资所有权与会计稳健性呈负相关。这一结果支持外资所有权的暂态假设，表明低持股水平的外国投资者对管理者的监督动机不显著，因此不影响财务报告质量。
