| Research Abstract |
The purpose of my project is to investigate the role of accounting information in contracting perspective. In particular, I focus on management compensation contract to reduce the conflict of interests between shareholder and management. To test the role of accounting information in contracting perspective, I statically investigated the relationship between accounting earnings and management compensation As a result, the empirical evidences suggested that management compensation is significantly associated with accounting earnings Therefore Japanese managers are likely to receive more compensation when corporate performance increases. This implies that accounting earnings is useful to evaluate the action of management. accounting earnings are useful to contracting perspective.
