The impact of the Levers of Control (LOC) framework on the accounting literature is undeniably large. The framework, however, has also been criticized for being vague and ambiguous. One of the central, but unclear, concepts in the LOC framework is the notion of balance. That is, the framework holds that control systems must be in balance in order to manage competing tensions such as that found between predictable goal achievement on the one hand and innovation on the other. The goal of our study is to make the concept of balance more explicit by providing empirically informed insights on different balancing arrangements that exist in a cross-section of business units. To empirically examine the concept of balance, we develop a survey and administer it in person to a convenience sample of business unit managers. Using responses from 217 managers, cluster analysis reveals four stable configurations of balance, which we label strategic stability, strategic vigilance, strategic exploitation, and strategic responsiveness. We examine organizational and contextual factors that further validate and help explain the observed patterns of balance. By shedding light on one of the key concepts in the LOC framework, our study helps to explicate a hitherto underspecified theoretical claim in that framework. This explication is a significant step in the further development of the framework, adding to its explanatory expressiveness as well as to its empirical contestability.
不可否认,控制杠杆(LOC)框架对会计文献的影响很大。然而,该框架也因模糊和模棱两可而受到批评。LOC框架中的一个核心但不明确的概念是平衡的概念。也就是说,该框架认为控制系统必须处于平衡状态,以便管理竞争的紧张关系,例如一方面是可预测的目标实现,另一方面是创新。我们研究的目的是通过提供对业务单位横截面中存在的不同平衡安排的经验信息见解,使平衡的概念更加明确。为了实证检验平衡的概念,我们开发了一项调查,并亲自对业务单位经理进行了调查。利用217名管理者的反馈,聚类分析揭示了四种稳定的平衡配置,我们将其标记为战略稳定性、战略警惕性、战略利用和战略响应。我们研究了进一步验证和帮助解释观察到的平衡模式的组织和环境因素。通过阐明LOC框架中的一个关键概念,我们的研究有助于解释该框架中迄今尚未明确的理论主张。这种解释是该框架进一步发展的重要一步,增加了其解释性和经验可争议性。

In the 2003 and 2004 proxy seasons the Securities Exchange Commission allowed shareholders' proposals to expense employee stock options to be voted upon at the annual meeting. We analyze the determinants of shareholders' votes for a sample of 107 firms. We hypothesize and find that votes for expensing are higher in firms with perceived excessive option compensation and lower expected earnings impact from expensing. Insiders' ownership is positively associated to votes against, while most types of institutional investors tend to vote for expensing. Finally, votes for are higher in larger firms, with higher interest coverage, higher leverage and lower returns.
在2003年和2004年的股东授权季,美国证券交易委员会(sec)允许股东在年度股东大会上就员工股票期权费用提案进行投票表决。我们以107家公司为样本,分析股东投票的决定因素。我们假设并发现,在那些认为期权报酬过高、费用化对预期收益影响较低的公司中,赞成费用化的投票更高。内部人士的所有权与反对票正相关,而大多数类型的机构投资者倾向于投票支持费用。最后,大公司的投票率更高,利息覆盖率更高,杠杆率更高,回报更低。

Pre-Announcement and Event-Period Private Information: A Trading Volume Analysis of Firm Size and Institutional Ownership Effects 公告前与事件期间私有信息:企业规模与机构所有权效应的交易量分析
Pub Date : 2005-09-30 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.817565

We study cross-sectional differences in pre-announcement and event-period private information acquisition across firm size and institutional ownership using trading volume reactions to earnings announcements. We find that abnormal volume associated with absolute price change increases with both firm size and institutional ownership, suggesting that pre-announcement private information acquisition increases with firm size and institutional ownership. We also find that abnormal volume independent of absolute price change increases with institutional ownership, suggesting that event-period private information acquisition increases with institutional ownership. In contrast, abnormal volume independent of absolute price change decreases with firm size, reflecting the previously documented positive relation between firm size and the precision of pre-announcement public information. By demonstrating that firm size and institutional ownership are determinants of pre-announcement and event--period private information acquisition, this study provides new insights regarding the incentive to acquire private information around earnings announcements and helps explain prior empirical results in trading volume reaction studies.
我们利用交易量对收益公告的反应,研究了公司规模和机构所有权在公告前和事件期间私人信息获取方面的横断面差异。我们发现,与绝对价格变动相关的异常量随企业规模和机构所有权的增加而增加,表明公告前私人信息获取随企业规模和机构所有权的增加而增加。我们还发现,与绝对价格变化无关的异常交易量随着机构所有权的增加而增加,这表明事件期间的私人信息获取随着机构所有权的增加而增加。相反,与绝对价格变化无关的异常交易量随着企业规模的增加而减少,这反映了之前文献中企业规模与公告前公开信息准确性之间的正相关关系。通过证明公司规模和机构所有权是公告前和事件期间私人信息获取的决定因素,本研究提供了关于在收益公告周围获取私人信息的激励的新见解,并有助于解释交易量反应研究中的先前实证结果。

Share Repurchases as Signals in Banking: Do They Work? 股票回购是银行业的信号:是否有效?
Pub Date : 2005-08-01 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.772404
Kamala Raghavan
The fundamental premise of corporate finance is that the decisions of the managers (agents) should lead to value maximization for their shareholders (principals). When firms have excess cash flow, managers have to choose among the various alternatives for use of the funds, i.e., investments, operations, and cash payout (dividends and repurchases). The principal mechanisms used by firms to distribute excess cash flow and avoid agency conflict are dividends and share repurchases, with an increasing percentage going to repurchases. This study examines the use of share repurchases by banking firms to signal the market about future operating performance (signaling hypothesis), and to reduce agency conflicts (cash flow hypothesis). Previous empirical studies in the non-financial sector have shown weak support for signaling hypothesis and strong support for cash flow hypothesis. The results of this study show strong support for cash flow hypothesis, similar to the non-financial sector. However, the use of repurchase as signal by banking firms does not coincide with superior future performance, contradicting the results obtained in the non-financial sector. This study also examined the data on the banking firm's operating performance relative to its record of satisfying prior repurchase commitments before announcing new programs (time inconsistency hypothesis) during the study period. The results of the analysis do not support time inconsistency hypothesis, contradicting the results in the non-financial sector.
公司金融的基本前提是管理者(代理人)的决策应该导致其股东(委托人)的价值最大化。当公司有多余的现金流时,管理者必须在使用资金的各种选择中做出选择,即投资、运营和现金支付(股息和回购)。企业分配过剩现金流和避免代理冲突的主要机制是分红和股票回购,其中回购所占的比例越来越大。本研究考察了银行公司利用股票回购向市场发出关于未来经营业绩的信号(信号假设),并减少代理冲突(现金流量假设)。以往非金融部门的实证研究对信号假设的支持较弱,对现金流量假设的支持较强。本研究的结果与非金融部门相似,对现金流量假说提供了强有力的支持。然而,银行公司使用回购作为信号并不与未来的优越表现相一致,这与非金融部门获得的结果相矛盾。本研究亦检视了研究期间银行公司在宣布新计划前,其满足先前回购承诺记录(时间不一致假设)的营运绩效数据。分析结果不支持时间不一致假设,与非金融部门的结果相矛盾。

Revenue Efficiency Variance: A Holistic Approach to Revenue Variance Analysis 收入效率方差:收入方差分析的整体方法
Pub Date : 2005-07-28 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.771952
C. Claiborne, Elizabeth T. Cole
In this paper we suggest a holistic approach to the sales revenue variance that adds to traditional models by taking into account output efficiencies due to marketing strategies or returns. Traditional analysis of the sales revenue variance isolates the sales price and volume variances. The traditional model assumes the number of units sold equals the number of units that go into the market place, a sales efficiency of one (1). However, organizations do not always sell every unit of output. For example, defective items are returned or items are given away due to promotions or charity. The traditional variance model ignores any efficiency variance in the number of units sold as a percent of total units introduced into the market place, or output. The holistic approach to the sales revenue variance suggested in this paper isolates the efficiency variance in addition to the price and volume variance from the traditional models.
在本文中,我们提出了一种全面的方法来增加传统模型的销售收入差异,考虑到由于营销策略或回报的输出效率。传统的销售收入差异分析将销售价格和销量差异隔离开来。传统模型假设销售的单位数量等于进入市场的单位数量,销售效率为1(1)。然而,组织并不总是销售每一单位的产出。例如,由于促销或慈善活动,退货或赠送有缺陷的物品。传统的方差模型忽略了作为引入市场的总单位的百分比的销售单位数量或产出的任何效率方差。本文提出的销售收入方差整体分析方法将传统模型中除价格和数量方差外的效率方差隔离开来。

The Cost of Capital in the Defense Industry: Managerial Incentives and the Economic Impact of Mandatory Debt Accounting 国防工业的资本成本:管理激励与强制性债务会计的经济影响

We examine managerial incentive factors and the economic implications of mandatory debt accounting on the firm's cost of capital in the defense industry, a significant sector of the economy. In fiscal year 1999 alone, the Department of Defense awarded $124 billion to contractors for goods and services. We consider a unique mandatory accounting treatment and its resulting cash flow or debt subsidy in this industry, the Facilities Capital Cost of Money (FCCOM). To capture a defense-contracting spending cycle, we use 1988 as the study's base year and expand our test-years to include 1982 and 1994. We include 134 firms and examine 349 firm-year observations in the study. Using a control sample of commercial firms, we first document that mandatory debt accounting impacts managerial incentives and differentially influences the use of debt covenants restricting dividends in the defense industry. We also find that incentive factors explaining debt covenants restricting dividends and additional borrowing are decidedly different for defense firms than for commercial firms. In addition, we report a significant negative relation between FCCOM and the existence of dividend covenants suggesting that, consistent with agency theory, the cash flow subsidy mitigates the need for these covenants. Finally, in a debt equity trade-off, we also demonstrate that the FCCOM debt subsidy leads to a lower cost of debt but an increased cost of equity capital within the defense sector. Our results suggest if firms face mandatory accounting that provides debt holders with a cash flow subsidy and a lower cost of debt capital, with a resultant increase in the cost of equity capital, investors seeking to minimize their risk posture may prefer to be debt holders in defense firms rather than in commercial firms, ceteris paribus.
我们研究了管理激励因素和强制性债务会计对国防工业中公司资本成本的经济影响,国防工业是经济的一个重要部门。仅在1999财政年度,国防部就向承包商提供了1240亿美元的货物和服务。我们考虑一种独特的强制性会计处理及其在该行业产生的现金流或债务补贴,即设施资本货币成本(FCCOM)。为了捕捉国防合同开支周期,我们使用1988年作为研究的基准年,并将我们的测试年扩大到包括1982年和1994年。我们在研究中纳入了134家公司,并检查了349家公司的年度观察结果。使用商业公司的控制样本,我们首先证明强制性债务会计影响管理激励和差异影响债务契约的使用限制股息在国防工业。我们还发现,解释限制股息和额外借款的债务契约的激励因素对国防公司和商业公司来说是截然不同的。此外,我们报告了FCCOM与股息契约存在之间的显著负相关关系,这表明,与代理理论一致,现金流补贴减轻了对这些契约的需求。最后,在债务权益权衡中,我们还证明,联邦通信委员会债务补贴导致债务成本降低,但增加了国防部门的股权资本成本。我们的研究结果表明,如果企业面临强制性会计,为债务持有人提供现金流补贴和较低的债务资本成本,导致权益资本成本增加,寻求最小化风险姿态的投资者可能更愿意成为国防公司的债务持有人,而不是商业公司的债务持有人,其他条件相同。

Relative Bonus Compensation: The Role of Executive Rank and Non-Linearity 相对奖金补偿:高管职级与非线性的作用
Pub Date : 2005-04-01 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.772245
Austin L. Reitenga
The sensitivity of the rank of the change in bonus compensation to firm performance is compared between CEOs and non-CEOs. Executives are classified into four groups: 1) CEOs, 2) high ranking executives, 3) business unit managers, and 4) low ranking executives. There are no differences in bonus compensation between the four categories of executives when firm performance is moderate. However, when performance is very bad (good), CEO bonus compensation is significantly smaller (larger). Differences between CEOs and non-CEOs are limited to differences in intercepts related to the sign of performance and not slope coefficients on performance.
比较了首席执行官和非首席执行官之间奖金薪酬变化等级对公司绩效的敏感性。管理人员分为四类:1)首席执行官,2)高级管理人员,3)业务部门经理,4)低级管理人员。当公司业绩处于中等水平时,四类高管的奖金薪酬不存在差异。然而,当业绩非常差(好)时,CEO的奖金报酬明显较小(较大)。首席执行官和非首席执行官之间的差异仅限于与绩效符号相关的截距差异,而不是绩效的斜率系数。

Changing Accounting Systems to Support the Conversion and Management of a Continuous Improvement Business Culture 改变会计制度以支持持续改进的企业文化的转换和管理
Pub Date : 2005-02-15 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.773026
James T. Mackey
While the need for, and the value of, Continuous Improvement (CI) Management in practice is well established; their successful implementation has proven problematic. Employee resistance, due to business cultural incompatibility, is considered a major cause. Unfortunately, current budgeting systems are not compatible with either implementation or management of CI. This paper uses innovative action research to combine research from production, accounting, and learning, to develop an accounting solution to this problem. The paper develops a theoretical justification for re-designing the accounting system to accommodate a formal continuous improvement process designed to teach employees a new business culture. The second part of the paper illustrates a process based product costing system designed for strategic decision making and planning in an 'in-process' improvement environment. By shifting from a scientific management strategy to a continuous improvement strategy the definitions of cost standards, product and period costs and out-sourcing criteria are challenged.
在实践中,持续改进(CI)管理的必要性和价值已经确立;事实证明,它们的成功实施存在问题。由于企业文化的不兼容,员工的抵制被认为是一个主要原因。不幸的是,当前的预算系统既不兼容CI的实现,也不兼容CI的管理。本文采用创新行动研究的方法,结合产学、会计、学习等方面的研究,提出了解决这一问题的会计解决方案。本文为重新设计会计系统提供了理论依据,以适应正式的持续改进流程,旨在向员工传授新的企业文化。论文的第二部分阐述了一个基于过程的产品成本系统,该系统设计用于“过程中”改进环境中的战略决策和计划。从科学管理战略转向持续改进战略,成本标准、产品和周期成本以及外包标准的定义受到了挑战。

Much publicity has been given to audit failures by major CPA firms in recent years, resulting in passage of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and removing the authority to set auditing standards from the American Institute of CPAs. While much has been said and written about how to reform the major accounting firms, relatively little has been written about smaller CPA firms. This paper examines the perceived impact of proposed reforms on smaller CPA firms in the Sacramento Area. Responses were mixed. There was, however, much concern about the possibility of mandatory rotation of partners.
近年来,大型注册会计师事务所的审计失败引起了公众的广泛关注,导致《萨班斯-奥克斯利法案》(Sarbanes-Oxley Act)的通过,并取消了美国注册会计师协会(American Institute of CPA)制定审计标准的权力。虽然关于如何改革大型会计师事务所的说法和文章很多,但关于小型注册会计师事务所的文章相对较少。本文考察了在萨克拉门托地区对小型注册会计师事务所拟议改革的感知影响。人们的反应褒贬不一。但是,人们对强制性轮换伙伴的可能性非常关切。
