The Impact

The complexity of audit committee experience, including the overseas experience, has an important impact on corporate governance. In this paper, we study the impact of the overseas experiences of the members of audit committee on audit fees. Our empirical analysis and results show that the audit committee overseas experience can significantly increase audit fees. Further, the positive influence of the audit committee overseas experience on audit fees is more pronounced in state-owned enterprises and regions with weak marketization. In addition, we divide the overseas experience into overseas learning experience and overseas working experience. We find that both types of experience present in the audit committee significantly increase the audit fees. Finally, we find that the audit committee overseas experience can significantly improve the quality of accounting information and play a positive role in corporate governance.

Findings Firms included in the Good Corporate Governance Index, in the LSE, present more value relevant, more persistent and more conservative accounting reports. These results hold after controlling for a self-selection bias. Originality/value It is the first paper to explore the impact of good corporate practices on earnings quality in Peru.

Quality Of Accounting Information

Purpose Although board interlocking underlying forces are largely hidden, the purpose of this paper is to provide managers, auditors, analysts, regulators and other stakeholders with sociological board interlocking information considering the different backgrounds of their members. Design/methodology/approach The research sample gathered 1,606 observations from 2010 to 2017. For data analysis, the direct and indirect board interlocking linkages, considering the different backgrounds of board members, established the centrality indicators. Subsequently, the authors used these indicators according to each measured background in the regression models. Findings The results indicate that the political background of board interlocking members is positively related to real earnings management practices, while the financial background has a mitigating effect on such practices. Research limitations/implications The findings suggest that individual skills and interests conveyed across the corporate social network have shaped corporate governance, with distinct impacts on the quality of accounting information. Practical implications The authors conclude that both backgrounds could have implications on agency conflicts, increasing (policy) or reducing (financial) information asymmetry between the company and its various stakeholders, which indicates that the authors must consider sociological and not just economic aspects within corporate governance. Social implications The sociological background of individuals is necessary for the congruence of monitoring mechanisms, and consequently, the quality of accounting information. Originality/value This study examines the influence of the political and financial background of board interlocking members on real earnings management practices in Brazilian publicly traded companies in the International Financial Reporting Standards post-adoption period.

The Impact

The quality of accounting information cannot be separated from the adopted accounting standards. More than 87% of countries worldwide have implemented IFRS standards as financial guidelines in their countries. The goal of IFRS is to make companies more transparent and flexible in producing accounting information based on which users can predict future investment values. The purpose of this article is a systematic literature review on the quality of accounting information associated with adopting IFRS. The sample of this study - 125 articles reviewed in four main classifications: research subject areas, measurement of accounting information quality, theoretical approaches, and research methods. Previous research was obtained from online databases such as Science Direct, Emerald Group, Sage Journal, and Taylor & Francis. The PICO framework in this study was applied to minimize bias from previous studies. The analysis results show that average the most articles on the quality of accounting information were found in journals categorized in the accounting field. Most studies have been found on the European continent regarding the quality of accounting information – 52 (37.7%). Determining the quality of accounting information requires several tests. As a result, 49 (38.8%) and 47 (37.1%) articles emphasize the accrual test model and value relevance model in assessing the quality of accounting information. The results show that 56 articles (44.8%) use the regression analysis method to test value relevance, accrual, and timely loss reporting models.

This study investigates the effect of corporate governance structure on the quality of accounting information disclosure using Shenzhen stock exchange data. Existing literatures reported that corporate governance can help to improve accounting quality. However, China's corporate governance structure may have different consequences from prior studies because it has less maturity than developed countries in Europe and the United States. China government, in particular, has a very strong influence on the companies in China and we needs to be verified if the corporate governance structure works properly. From the empirical tests, we find that the proportion of stateowned shares, the proportion of tradable shares, ownership concentration, the size of the board of directors, the proportion of ownership of the board of directors, and size of the board of supervisors are positively associated with the quality of accounting information disclosure. This study will contribute to academics and practitioners by documenting the factors of corporate governance structure on accounting disclosure quality in China.
