Outline of Final Research Achievements |
For the measurement of accounting discretionary behavior, the estimation performance of several models, including a new model, for estimating the amount of abnormal accruals, was evaluated. The results suggest that there is no single model with consistently good estimation performance and that estimates from multiple models should be used for research purposes. On the other hand, in the creation of the quality score of financial information, it is necessary to specify the content of the quality in order to ensure the objectivity of the score. In this study, we found by analyzing stock liquidity immediately after disclosure of the information that the complexity of financial statements is one of the important characteristics for score creation in terms of mitigating information asymmetry.

企業の財務情報は利害関係者間の情報の非対称性を緩和するための要であるため,財務情報の質を評価するためのシステムが開発されることが広く社会にとって望まれる。本研究は,経営者による会計利益額の裁量的決定および財務諸表情報の特性の観点からの評価スコアの作成の可能性を検討した。その結果,経営者による裁量の測定に関しては,測定のための代替的手法の重要性を確認した。さらに,財務情報の特性としての複雑性が利害関係者間の情報の非対称性の緩和にとって重要なの特性であることを,開示直後の株式流動性を分析することによって明らかにした。
