The current project of the IASB to issue accounting standards for small and medium firms (so-called “IFRS for SMEs”) intends to further boost the accounting harmonization process. At the same time, the standards have been discussed and criticized from several parts and the European Commission has decided to not adopt them for the moment. Di Pietra et al. (2008) and Quagli and Paoloni (2012) show that the preparation process of the IFRS for SMEs does not fully involve some important constituencies that would be strongly affected by the new standards, in primis chartered accountants. We conducted an extensive survey of 1,269 Italian Chartered Accountants (CAs) and ten interviews with presidents of the local CAs’ Associations to detect any possible “decoupling” between the structures and activities (DiMaggio & Powell, 1983). First, we assess CAs’ attitude towards the new standards and, in particular, we document the role played by the perception of the financial and economic benefits of the new standards and the understanding of the technical and the reasons that led to the preparation of the IFRS for SMEs. Second, we study the heterogeneity among CAs and we find that the level of knowledge of these standards and the perceived relevance of tax rules positively influence the perception of the new standards, whereas the length of the CA’s professional experience has a negative effect.
国际会计准则理事会(IASB)目前发布中小型企业会计准则(所谓的“中小型企业国际财务报告准则”)的项目旨在进一步推动会计协调进程。与此同时,该标准受到了多方的讨论和批评,欧盟委员会决定暂时不采用该标准。Di Pietra等人(2008)和Quagli和Paoloni(2012)表明,《中小型企业国际财务报告准则》的编制过程并没有完全涉及一些重要的选区,这些选区将受到新准则的强烈影响,即初级特许会计师。我们对1269名意大利注册会计师(ca)进行了广泛的调查,并对当地注册会计师协会的主席进行了10次访谈,以发现结构和活动之间可能存在的“脱钩”(DiMaggio & Powell, 1983)。首先,我们评估认证机构对新准则的态度,特别是,我们记录了对新准则的财务和经济利益的认识以及对导致编制《中小型企业国际财务报告准则》的技术和原因的理解所起的作用。其次,我们研究了CA之间的异质性,我们发现这些标准的知识水平和税收规则的感知相关性对新标准的感知产生了积极影响,而CA的专业经验长度则产生了负面影响。

Pork Bellies and Public Company Audits: Have Audits Once Again Become Just Another Commodity? 猪肉肚腩与上市公司审计:审计是否再次成为一种商品?

Prior research has established that from 2000 to 2007, auditors incorporated clients’ financial reporting risk in their pricing of audit engagements (Charles et al. 2010; Doogar et al. 2010, 2013). However, regulators have expressed concern that the economic downturn and pressure from clients to reduce audit fees has had a negative impact on auditor effort. Our evidence suggests a marked decline in the pricing of financial reporting risk during the 2006-2010 period, further suggesting a reduced focus on the risk of misreporting during that period. This decline is particularly evident among non-industry expert auditors. Connecting these findings to audit quality, we observe a higher likelihood of subsequent accounting restatements among clients whose financial reporting risk appears to be insufficiently incorporated in audit fees, particularly among clients of small audit firm offices. Our results are consistent with a return to the commoditization of financial statement audits and its negative impact on audit quality.
先前的研究已经确定,从2000年到2007年,审计师将客户的财务报告风险纳入审计业务定价(Charles et al. 2010;Doogar et al. 2010, 2013)。然而,监管机构表示担心,经济低迷和客户要求降低审计费用的压力对审计师的工作产生了负面影响。我们的证据表明,2006-2010年期间财务报告风险的定价显著下降,进一步表明在此期间对误报风险的关注有所减少。这种下降在非行业专业审计人员中尤为明显。将这些发现与审计质量联系起来,我们观察到,在那些财务报告风险似乎没有充分纳入审计费用的客户中,特别是在小型审计事务所办事处的客户中,后续会计重述的可能性更高。我们的结果与财务报表审计商品化的回归及其对审计质量的负面影响是一致的。

Why Do Countries Mandate Accrual Accounting for Tax Purposes? 为什么国家强制实行权责发生制会计?
Pub Date : 2014-08-29 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.1912003
I. Goncharov, M. Jacob
This study investigates why countries mandate accruals in the definition of corporate taxable income. Accruals alleviate timing and matching problems in cash flows, which smoothes taxable income and thus better aligns it with underlying economic performance. These accrual properties can be desirable in the tax setting as tax authorities seek more predictable corporate tax revenues. However, they can also make tax revenues procyclical by increasing the correlation between aggregate corporate tax revenues and aggregate economic activity. We argue that accruals shape the distribution of corporate tax revenues, which leads regulators to incorporate accruals into the definition of taxable income to balance the portfolio of government revenues and expenditures. Using a sample of 26 OECD countries, we find support for several theoretically motivated factors explaining the use of accruals in tax codes. We first provide evidence that corporate tax revenues are less volatile in high accrual countries, but high accrual countries collect relatively higher (lower) tax revenues when the corporate sector grows (contracts). Critically, we then show that accruals and smoother tax revenues are favored by countries with higher levels of government spending on public services and uncertain future expenditures, while countries with procyclical other tax collections favor cash rules and lower procyclicality of corporate tax revenues.
本研究探讨了为什么国家在企业应税收入的定义中强制规定应计收益。应计制缓解了现金流的时间和匹配问题,从而平滑了应税收入,从而更好地使其与潜在的经济表现保持一致。当税务机关寻求更可预测的企业税收收入时,这些应计属性在税收设置中是可取的。然而,它们也可以通过增加企业税收总额与总体经济活动之间的相关性,使税收收入具有顺周期性。我们认为,应计收益塑造了企业税收收入的分配,这导致监管机构将应计收益纳入应纳税所得额的定义,以平衡政府收入和支出的组合。使用26个经合组织国家的样本,我们发现支持几个理论动机因素解释应计制在税法中的使用。我们首先提供的证据表明,高应计制国家的企业税收收入波动性较小,但当企业部门增长(收缩)时,高应计制国家的税收收入相对较高(较低)。至关重要的是,我们随后表明,应计税和更平稳的税收收入受到政府公共服务支出水平较高和未来支出不确定的国家的青睐,而其他税收具有顺周期性的国家则倾向于现金规则和较低的企业税收顺周期性。

Recession Analysts and Conservative Forecasting 衰退分析师和保守预测
Pub Date : 2014-06-20 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.2307253
Michael B. Clement, Kelvin K. F. Law
This study investigates whether the properties of sell-side analysts' earnings forecasts are associated with the adverse macroeconomic conditions that exist at the time of their initial hire or major promotion. We find that analysts who begin their career in an economic recession are more conservative in their earnings forecasts: they are more pessimistic, less likely to be leaders, deviate less from the consensus, and more (less) likely to issue negative (positive) bold revisions. They are also asymmetrically more likely to respond to bad rather than good news during recessions, when bad news is abundant. Our results are not subsumed by analysts' characteristics and incentives identified in prior literature. Overall, we find that their forecast properties are associated with the adverse macroeconomic conditions at the time of initial hire or major promotion.
本研究探讨卖方分析师的收益预测属性是否与他们最初受雇或主要晋升时存在的不利宏观经济条件有关。我们发现,在经济衰退中开始职业生涯的分析师在盈利预测方面更为保守:他们更悲观,更不可能成为领导者,更不可能偏离共识,更不可能发布负面(积极)的大胆修正。在经济衰退期间,当坏消息比比皆是时,他们也不对称地更有可能对坏消息而不是好消息做出反应。我们的结果不包括在以前的文献中确定的分析师的特征和激励。总体而言,我们发现他们的预测属性与初始雇用或主要晋升时的不利宏观经济条件有关。

Rotten Apples and Sterling Examples: Moral Reasoning and Peer Influences on Honesty in Managerial Reporting 烂苹果和典型例子:道德推理和同伴对管理报告诚信的影响
Pub Date : 2014-04-06 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.2133072

We propose that idiosyncratic benefits from adhering to social norms explain the heterogeneity in honesty documented in many situations where misrepresentation yields a financial benefit. Further, information about the honesty of one's peers modifies the descriptive norm and hence, one's own honesty. We test these hypotheses in a reporting experiment with two managers in which one manager observes the reports of a peer. Managers’ honesty decreases when peers are less honest and increases when peers are more honest. The importance of the maintaining norms schema — assessed by the DIT-2 — explains these adjustments and, moreover, explains variation in reporting honesty in vacuo.
我们认为,遵守社会规范的特殊利益解释了在许多情况下记录的诚实的异质性,其中虚假陈述产生了经济利益。此外,关于同伴诚实度的信息会改变描述规范,从而改变自己的诚实度。我们在两个经理的报告实验中检验了这些假设,其中一个经理观察同事的报告。当同事不诚实时,管理者的诚实度会下降,当同事更诚实时,管理者的诚实度会增加。DIT-2评估的维持规范图式的重要性解释了这些调整,而且解释了真空报告诚实度的变化。

This study investigates how directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (hereafter D&O insurance) affects corporate diversification and post-diversification performance. Using a sample of 671 Taiwanese listed firms, we find that excessive D&O liability insurance is positively associated with corporate diversification, particularly unrelated diversification. In addition, we find that when diversification does occur, excessive D&O liability insurance worsens the shareholder value destroyed a firm’s diversification. These results are consistent with our hypothesis that excessive D&O liability insurance induces value-destroying empire building. Our results are robust to different model specifications and alternative measures of firm performance.
本研究探讨董事及高级管理人员责任保险(以下简称D&O保险)对公司多元化及多元化后绩效的影响。本研究以671家台湾上市公司为样本,发现董事责任保险过度与公司多元化呈正相关,尤其是非相关多元化。此外,我们发现,当多元化确实发生时,过多的董事责任保险加剧了股东价值的破坏,破坏了公司的多元化。这些结果与我们的假设一致,即过度的董事责任保险导致了价值破坏的帝国建设。我们的结果对不同的模型规格和企业绩效的替代措施是稳健的。

Market Competition, Social Network and Firm Performance: An Emerging Economy Test 市场竞争、社会网络与企业绩效:一个新兴经济体的检验
Pub Date : 2013-08-19 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.2312555

Prior literature shows that social networks from outside have great impact on the firm performance. This study focuses on the impact of social network on firm performance especially from the depth of the social network created by key shareholders. In addition, firms in emerging markets face intensive competition. Therefore, this study also examines the different impacts of key shareholders’ social network on firm performance under different levels of market competition in an emerging market. The empirical results show that the depth of shareholder network has significant positive impact on firm performance. In addition, the results also show that key shareholder network has more positive effect on firm performance under high market competition than that of low market competition.
已有文献表明,外部社会网络对企业绩效有很大的影响。本研究侧重于社会网络对企业绩效的影响,特别是从关键股东创建的社会网络的深度。此外,新兴市场的公司面临着激烈的竞争。因此,本研究也考察了在新兴市场不同市场竞争水平下,关键股东社会网络对企业绩效的不同影响。实证结果表明,股东网络深度对企业绩效有显著的正向影响。此外,研究结果还表明,在高市场竞争条件下,关键股东网络对企业绩效的正向影响大于低市场竞争条件下。

Profiting from Cost Mis-Allocation: An Analysis of the Interaction Among Biases in Reported Costs and Full-Cost Pricing 从成本错配中获利:报告成本偏差与全成本定价的相互作用分析
Pub Date : 2013-08-18 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.2312142
G. Coller, Paolo Collini
Accuracy of cost accounting systems is a central issue in management accounting theory and practice. Over time a large set of allocation mechanisms has been developed and refined with the goal of providing accurate cost estimates of objects. Any bias in provided cost information is supposed to lead to sub-optimal decisions, however, this is true only if a perfectly rational decision making process takes place. During the last few decades, many survey based research on firm's pricing highlighted the widespread use of full-cost pricing. In this paper we analyze the interaction between biases in the costing systems and full-cost pricing. Results show that under certain circumstances firms may profit from biases in the costing system when such a kind of pricing approach is employed.
成本会计系统的准确性是管理会计理论和实践中的一个核心问题。随着时间的推移,大量的分配机制被开发和改进,其目标是提供对象的准确成本估算。在提供的成本信息中,任何偏差都应该导致次优决策,然而,只有在完全理性的决策过程中才会发生这种情况。在过去的几十年里,许多基于调查的企业定价研究强调了全成本定价的广泛使用。本文分析了成本系统偏差与全成本定价之间的相互作用。结果表明,在某些情况下,当采用这种定价方法时,企业可能会从成本计算系统的偏差中获利。

Accounting Information Aggregation and Managerial Cooperation 会计信息聚合与管理合作
Pub Date : 2013-08-16 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.2312652
Eric J. Marinich
Managers in decentralized organizations often face incentives against cooperation. In these situations, accounting information can increase cooperation when it reveals the cooperativeness of other managers' prior actions. The extent to which accounting information reveals other managers' prior actions, however, can depend on its aggregation. This study provides theory-consistent experimental evidence of the effects of accounting information aggregation on managerial cooperation when managers face incentives against cooperation. Based on the psychology theory of non-consequential reasoning, I predict and find that managerial cooperation is higher when accounting information is aggregated than when it is disaggregated. When accounting information is aggregated and does not reveal the cooperativeness of managers' prior actions, individuals frame the decision to cooperate as a group decision and prefer cooperation because it is the only action that leads to the best group outcome. JEL Classifications: D81; M4.
分散组织中的管理者经常面临反对合作的动机。在这种情况下,当会计信息揭示了其他管理者先前行为的合作性时,它可以增加合作。然而,会计信息在多大程度上揭示了其他管理者的先前行为,可能取决于它的汇总。本研究提供了理论一致的实验证据,证明当管理者面临合作激励时,会计信息聚合对管理合作的影响。基于非后果推理的心理学理论,我预测并发现,当会计信息被聚合时,管理合作比被分解时更高。当会计信息是汇总的,并且没有揭示管理者先前行动的合作性时,个体将合作决策框架为群体决策,并且更喜欢合作,因为这是导致最佳群体结果的唯一行动。JEL分类:D81;M4。

When accounting information is aggregated and does not reveal the cooperativeness of managers' prior actions, individuals frame the decision to cooperate as a group decision and prefer cooperation because it is the only action that leads to the best group outcome.\u0000 JEL Classifications: D81; M4.","PeriodicalId":356551,"journal":{"name":"American Accounting Association Meetings (AAA)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128029297","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While human capital theory and upper echelon theory predicts that a firm should innovate better when its CEO possess more human capital, this relationship has been difficult to measure empirically. As a result, little is known about the part that individual CEO plays in explaining innovation performance. In this paper, using a unique dataset on S&P 500 CEO human capital between 1996 and 2003, I examine whether the CEO specific human capital having a critical firm expertise or science expertise affects firm innovation. This paper aims to empirically explore the effects of science specific human capital and firm specific human capital on innovation efficiency. My findings support the idea that CEOs that gather more specific human capital promote better innovation for the firm. I also find that science-specialists CEOs promote innovation performance than firm-specialists CEOs and generalists CEO. My analyses indicate that both types of human capital do matter in the context of innovation. I offer an alternative view of how intangible special human capital promotes firm outcomes by comparative advantages.
虽然人力资本理论和上层理论都预测CEO拥有越多的人力资本,企业的创新能力就越强,但这种关系难以实证衡量。因此,人们对CEO个人在解释创新绩效方面所起的作用知之甚少。本文利用1996 - 2003年标准普尔500指数公司CEO人力资本数据集,考察了具有关键企业专业知识或科学专业知识的CEO特定人力资本是否会影响企业创新。本文旨在实证探讨科技特有人力资本和企业特有人力资本对创新效率的影响。我的研究结果支持这样一种观点,即聚集了更多特定人力资本的ceo能促进公司更好的创新。我还发现,科学专家CEO比企业专家CEO和通才CEO更能促进创新绩效。我的分析表明,这两种类型的人力资本在创新的背景下都很重要。我提供了另一种观点,说明无形的特殊人力资本是如何通过比较优势促进企业成果的。
