Leveraging the unique institutional features of Korea's adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in 2011, we examine analysts' and investors' reactions to the elimination of standardized OI reporting. We find that financial analysts are less likely to issue OI forecasts immediately after IFRS adoption. Additionally, the accuracy of OI forecasts declines compared with sales or net income forecasts. Consequently, equity investors become less responsive to analysts' OI forecast revisions. However, these adverse effects dissipate after 2012 when regulators intervened and reinstated the OI definition used prior to IFRS adoption. Our findings support the International Accounting Standards Board's recent initiative to include earnings subtotals in financial reporting (i.e., IFRS 18).
利用韩国在2011年采用国际财务报告准则(IFRS)的独特制度特征,我们研究了分析师和投资者对取消标准化OI报告的反应。我们发现,财务分析师不太可能在采用国际财务报告准则后立即发布OI预测。此外,与销售额或净收入预测相比,OI预测的准确性有所下降。因此,股票投资者对分析师修正OI预测的反应减弱。然而,这些不利影响在2012年监管机构干预并恢复采用国际财务报告准则之前使用的OI定义后消失。我们的研究结果支持国际会计准则理事会最近在财务报告中纳入收益小计的倡议(即IFRS 18)。

Seeking to offer an integrated understanding of Hospital Management Accounting Systems (HMAS) dynamics—through a synthesis of 196 studies on management accounting in public healthcare since 1980—we provide critical insights into HMAS roles—diagnostic, interactive, culture shaping, political, and symbolic—and their interconnections, shedding light on their (in)effectiveness in relation to relevant actors. The review highlights that different actors contribute significantly to the diverse roles of HMAS, while these roles—if functioning as mechanisms for meaningful change—in turn, impact their activities, managerial awareness, and power relationships. While being criticised for unintentionally intensifying value conflicts, HMAS changes reportedly have long-term impact on shaping organisational culture and reconciling values within broader public management transformations. It underscores the need for the longitudinal perspectives to better capture a holistic insight of the evolving roles and effectiveness of HMAS in empirical research. In this regard, the analytical framework we employed for examining the (in)effectiveness of HMAS and the underlying reasons through actors, roles, and interactions could provide a foundation for future empirical studies. Practically, this review advocates for greater involvement of medical professionals and patients in HMAS, promoting changes that balance flexibility with accountability while respecting medical professionals' autonomy through an interactive approach.
为了提供对医院管理会计系统(HMAS)动态的综合理解-通过对1980年以来公共医疗保健管理会计的196项研究的综合-我们提供了对HMAS角色的关键见解-诊断,互动,文化塑造,政治和象征-以及它们之间的相互联系,揭示了它们与相关参与者相关的有效性。本综述强调,不同的行为者对HMAS的不同角色做出了重大贡献,而这些角色——如果作为有意义的变革机制发挥作用——反过来又影响了HMAS的活动、管理意识和权力关系。虽然被批评无意中加剧了价值冲突,但据报道,HMAS的变化对塑造组织文化和在更广泛的公共管理变革中协调价值观具有长期影响。它强调了纵向视角的必要性,以便更好地捕捉到HMAS在实证研究中不断演变的角色和有效性的整体洞察力。在这方面,我们通过参与者、角色和相互作用来检验HMAS有效性及其潜在原因的分析框架可以为未来的实证研究提供基础。实际上,本综述提倡医疗专业人员和患者更多地参与HMAS,促进平衡灵活性和问责制的变化,同时通过互动方式尊重医疗专业人员的自主权。

Cost measurement strategies are crucial for healthcare organisations, particularly for illicit drug use, often a lifelong condition. Long-term treatment and innovative cost-management strategies are necessary for sustainable treatment. This study proposes integrating digital transformation into drug-related healthcare spending estimates by examining existing models in the scientific literature that estimate the costs of substance abuse treatment. We conducted a systematic study using qualitative content analysis, enhanced by a snowball process. We also considered cost estimation techniques available in the grey literature from entities responsible for monitoring drug treatment. The analysis identified 11 methods for estimating the costs of treating drug dependence that can enhance performance measurement strategies in healthcare settings; however, these require improvements to align with a complete digital ecosystem. Achieving digital transformation in drug-dependence treatment costs requires collaboration among various stakeholders. To ensure a fair accounting comparison, heterogeneity among the different methods must be reduced, and researchers and practitioners need to collaborate on estimating the costs of providing healthcare for substance abuse in a digital context.
成本测量策略对医疗机构至关重要,特别是对非法药物使用,往往是终身的条件。长期治疗和创新的成本管理战略是可持续治疗的必要条件。本研究建议通过检查科学文献中估计药物滥用治疗成本的现有模型,将数字化转型整合到与药物相关的医疗保健支出估算中。我们进行了一个系统的研究,使用定性内容分析,加强了滚雪球的过程。我们还考虑了负责监测药物治疗的实体在灰色文献中可用的成本估算技术。分析确定了11种估计药物依赖治疗成本的方法,这些方法可以增强医疗保健机构的绩效衡量策略;然而,这些都需要改进才能与完整的数字生态系统保持一致。实现药物依赖治疗费用的数字化转型需要各利益攸关方之间的合作。为了确保公平的会计比较,必须减少不同方法之间的异质性,研究人员和从业人员需要合作估算在数字环境中为药物滥用提供医疗保健的成本。

This paper investigates how country-level Employment Protection Legislation (EPL) affects auditors' pricing decisions. Using a sample of 22 OECD countries over the 1996–2011 period, we find that auditors charge lower fees for firms whose employees have greater collective bargaining power as a result of country-level employee protection legislation reforms. We further explore the potential channels and find that a firm's labor power is negatively associated with its earnings management, but positively associated with the value of employee stock options plans and staff wages. In addition, we find that the negative relationship between employee power and audit fees is more profound for firms headquartered in countries with weak corporate governance (i.e., common law countries, non-EU countries, worse governmental effectiveness), and for firms in less labor-intensive industries. Our main findings are also robust to a variety of sensitivity checks.
本文研究了国家级就业保护立法(EPL)如何影响审计人员的定价决策。利用1996-2011年期间22个经合组织国家的样本,我们发现,由于国家层面的员工保护立法改革,审计师对员工集体谈判能力更强的公司收取的费用更低。我们进一步探索了潜在的渠道,发现企业的劳动力与盈余管理负相关,但与员工股票期权计划和员工工资的价值正相关。此外,我们还发现,总部设在公司治理较弱的国家(即普通法国家、政府效率较差的非欧盟国家)和劳动密集型程度较低的行业的公司,员工权力与审计费用之间的负向关系更为深刻。我们的主要发现对于各种敏感性检查也是稳健的。

This editorial introduces a special issue that addresses emerging accounting research challenges in the healthcare sector, a domain whose societal and economic significance has become even more evident in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. The crisis exposed some weaknesses in cost-centric healthcare governance and underscored the need to re-evaluate accounting's role in supporting more resilient and equitable healthcare systems. This special issue brings together contributions that explore three interrelated themes central to this re-evaluation: performance measurement, financial reporting quality, and digitalization. Each theme reflects both longstanding concerns and new complexities brought to the fore by the pandemic. The selected papers offer insights into the limitations and consequences of existing accounting practices, as well as the opportunities presented by technological innovation and broader governance issues. Collectively, they underscore the need for accounting research to engage more deeply with healthcare's evolving organizational, political, and digital landscape.
这篇社论介绍了一个特别问题,讨论医疗保健行业新出现的会计研究挑战,该领域的社会和经济意义在COVID-19大流行之后变得更加明显。这场危机暴露了以成本为中心的医疗保健治理的一些弱点,并强调需要重新评估会计在支持更具弹性和公平的医疗保健系统方面的作用。本期特刊汇集了探讨这一重新评估的三个相互关联的核心主题的文章:绩效衡量、财务报告质量和数字化。每一个主题都反映了长期以来的关切,也反映了大流行病带来的新的复杂性。所选的论文提供了对现有会计实践的局限性和后果的见解,以及技术创新和更广泛的治理问题所带来的机会。总的来说,它们强调了会计研究需要更深入地参与医疗保健不断变化的组织、政治和数字环境。

The impact of environmental regulations on corporate performance and decisions has attracted significant attention from academics, practitioners and policymakers. We extend this line of research to examine the impact of regional environmental regulations on firms’ cash holdings. We find that environmental regulations motivate firms to increase cash holdings. Further analyses reveal that firms increase cash holdings due to having less debt financing, decreased sales and more green innovation, all caused by environmental regulations. Under regulatory pressure, firms operating in more competitive industries, facing more financial constraints, having more environmental expenditure and belonging to the secondary sector tend to hold more cash than other firms, while firms with better CSR performance do not maintain as high cash holdings as their counterparts. We further demonstrate that increased cash holdings caused by the imposition of environmental regulations increase firm value.
环境法规对企业绩效和决策的影响已经引起了学术界、实践者和决策者的极大关注。我们将这一研究延伸到考察地区环境法规对企业现金持有量的影响。我们发现,环境法规激励企业增加现金持有量。进一步分析表明,企业增加现金持有量的原因是债务融资减少、销售下降和绿色创新增多,而这些都是由环境法规引起的。在监管压力下,竞争更激烈的行业、面临更多的资金约束、环境支出更多、属于第二产业的企业往往比其他企业持有更多的现金,而企业社会责任绩效较好的企业则不会保持较高的现金持有量。我们进一步证明,由于实施环境法规而增加的现金持有量增加了公司价值。

Using U.S. EPA pollution data, we analyze which governance provisions are related to firm pollution. We find that classified boards, poison pills, limits to amend bylaws, and fair price amendments are associated with significantly greater pollution. In contrast, cumulative voting, because it allows a greater voice for minority shareholders, is associated with lower pollution. We create a pollution-based index (the P-index) based on the sum of those governance provisions positively related to pollution plus an indicator for lack of cumulative voting. The P-index has approximately twice as large an association with firm-level pollution as the E-index. Most measures of board structure or compensation have no significant relation with pollution after controlling for the P-index. An instrumental variable analysis suggests a causal relation between the P-index and pollution.
利用美国环保署的污染数据,我们分析了哪些治理条款与企业污染有关。我们发现,分级董事会、毒丸、限制修改章程和公平价格修订与更大的污染显著相关。相比之下,累积投票权因为允许小股东有更大的发言权,所以与更低的污染有关。我们创建了一个基于污染的指数(p指数),该指数基于那些与污染正相关的治理条款的总和,加上缺乏累积投票的指标。p指数与企业污染的关联程度大约是e指数的两倍。在控制p指数后,大多数董事会结构或薪酬指标与污染没有显著关系。工具变量分析表明,p指数与污染之间存在因果关系。

We investigate how geographic proximity between environmental regulators and firms affects corporate polluting behavior through resource constraints and information asymmetry. Using plant-level emissions data from China, we find that firms pollute less when they are located closer to regulators. Proximity is more closely connected to pollution when regulators are subject to greater financial constraints, more severe manpower shortages, and higher transportation costs related to inspection. These results provide support for a resource constraint channel. There is less evidence that proximity affects corporate pollution through an information asymmetry channel. A heterogeneity analysis shows that the impact of geographic proximity on plant pollution is weaker in regions with greater public attention to environmental issues. Overall, our results have implications for the strategic deployment of resources for environmental enforcement.
我们通过资源约束和信息不对称研究了环境监管机构和企业之间的地理邻近如何影响企业的污染行为。利用来自中国的工厂级排放数据,我们发现企业离监管机构越近,污染就越少。当监管机构面临更大的财政限制、更严重的人力短缺以及与检查相关的更高运输成本时,邻近与污染的关系就会更紧密。这些结果为资源约束通道提供了支持。近距离通过信息不对称渠道影响企业污染的证据较少。异质性分析表明,在公众对环境问题关注程度较高的地区,地理邻近对植物污染的影响较弱。总体而言,我们的研究结果对环境执法资源的战略部署具有启示意义。

This paper examines the impact of climate risks on the debt structure of a sample of U.S. firms from 2002 through 2020. Climate risks—mainly physical, regulatory, and transition risks—are associated with a concentrated debt structure for the affected firms. However, when climate risks propagate through the channels of expected bankruptcy costs and sustainability, they are associated with a more diversified debt structure. Additionally, climate risks asymmetrically impact the relationship between access to finance and debt structure. Results from a quasi-natural experiment reaffirm the impact of climate risks on debt structure.
本文考察了气候风险对2002年至2020年美国公司债务结构的影响。气候风险——主要是实物风险、监管风险和转型风险——与受影响企业的集中债务结构有关。然而,当气候风险通过预期破产成本和可持续性的渠道传播时,它们与更多样化的债务结构有关。此外,气候风险不对称地影响融资渠道与债务结构之间的关系。准自然实验的结果重申了气候风险对债务结构的影响。
