Book excerpt: The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX) is the most important legislation affecting corporate financial reporting enacted in the United States since the 1930s. Its purpose is to improve the accuracy and reliability of accounting information reported to investors. We examine stock price reactions to legislative events surrounding SOX, and focus on whether such stock price effects are related cross-sectionally to the extent firms had managed their earnings. Our univariate results indicate significantly positive abnormal stock returns associated with SOX events, and our primary analyses reveal considerable evidence of a positive relation between SOX event stock returns and extent of earnings management. These results are consistent with investors anticipating that SOX would constrain earnings management and enhance the quality of financial statement information more, the more firms had managed their earnings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The empirical motivation of this dissertation is the increasing importance of financialmarket?s regulation pursuant of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX). There is currentlyincomplete knowledge on the relationship between insider trading and earningsmanagement on the one hand and earnings management and firm performance on the otherin light of the recent regulatory intervention (SOX). Moreover, the relevance of politicalregulation of financial markets has not yet been thoroughly investigated. The research aims of the dissertation are: 1) To evaluate the effectiveness of financialmarket regulation (SOX) on Insider trading and Earnings management 2) To empiricallyexamine how the different techniques used to manage earnings influence firm performancein light of the recent regulatory intervention (SOX). Both tests suggest ways in whichinvestors can examine and unravel a comprehensive set of earnings management signalsand their impact on either insider trading or future firm performance. The thesis is divided into two main empirical chapters: The first main empirical chapter(chapter 4) discusses insider trading and earnings management in light of the recentregulatory intervention mandated by the SOX. The second main empirical chapter (Chapter5) discuss changes in earnings management and firm performance relationship in light ofthe recent regulatory intervention as prescribed by SOX. In an attempt to obtain acomprehensive understanding of several conceptual issues, the different techniques used tomanage earnings are employed including, discretionary accruals techniques, real earningsmanagement and the probability of financial statements distortion as measured by theBeneish M-Score. Overall, the focus is on managers of S & P 500 companies, holders ofprivate information about the firm?s prospects, preparers and senders of financial reportsand investors and analysts as receivers and users of these financial statements. Findings on the relationship between insider trading and earnings management in light ofthe recent regulatory intervention suggest that after the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002,managers are less likely to time their trade and boast earnings to benefit at the expense ofoutside investors. Furthermore, under stricter regulations, market participants detect andreact to insider trading and earnings management practices. Findings on the relationship between a comprehensive set of earnings management signalsand firm performance suggest that there have been greater monitoring of financialIIIstatements in the Post SOX era. When firms attempt to manage earnings during periods ofintense market regulation, investors discount this through disappointing stock returns. Overall, the results suggest that there should be broad based approach in analysingfinancial statements.

Book Synopsis The Mitigation of High-Growth-Related Accounting Distortions After Sarbanes-Oxley by : Roger C. Graham
Download or read book The Mitigation of High-Growth-Related Accounting Distortions After Sarbanes-Oxley written by Roger C. Graham and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines the effect of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX) on accounting distortions in the context of the earnings quality of high-growth firms relative to lower-growth firms. High-growth creates unique management and reporting challenges that can contribute to accounting-related distortions. SOX, with its emphasis on financial reporting, control systems, and management responsibility could have been particularly relevant for high-growth firms with such challenges. Test results indicate a stronger reduction (weaker increase) in accounting distortions related to total accruals and book-tax differences (performance-matched modified Jones discretionary accruals) for high-growth firms from the pre- to the post-SOX period relative to lower-growth firms. Other tests indicate that the relation between accounting returns and market returns strengthened for high-growth firms in the period after SOX, but not for lower-growth firms. These results suggest greater reductions in accounting distortions and related improvements in reporting quality for high-growth firms relative to other firms coinciding with the post-SOX period.

Book Synopsis Economic Regulation and Its Reform by : Nancy L. Rose
Download or read book Economic Regulation and Its Reform written by Nancy L. Rose and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2014-08-29 with total page 619 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The past thirty years have witnessed a transformation of government economic intervention in broad segments of industry throughout the world. Many industries historically subject to economic price and entry controls have been largely deregulated, including natural gas, trucking, airlines, and commercial banking. However, recent concerns about market power in restructured electricity markets, airline industry instability amid chronic financial stress, and the challenges created by the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act, which allowed commercial banks to participate in investment banking, have led to calls for renewed market intervention. Economic Regulation and Its Reform collects research by a group of distinguished scholars who explore these and other issues surrounding government economic intervention. Determining the consequences of such intervention requires a careful assessment of the costs and benefits of imperfect regulation. Moreover, government interventions may take a variety of forms, from relatively nonintrusive performance-based regulations to more aggressive antitrust and competition policies and barriers to entry. This volume introduces the key issues surrounding economic regulation, provides an assessment of the economic effects of regulatory reforms over the past three decades, and examines how these insights bear on some of today’s most significant concerns in regulatory policy.

This book was released on 2019-01-14 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses recent developments relating to ethical and sustainable issues in accounting & finance. Accounting is often seen as a technical discipline that records, classifies and reports financial transactions. However, since the financial information produced concerns all interest groups both within and outside the enterprise, accounting also has social characteristics and involves multi-faceted duties and responsibilities. As such, in addition to basic principles and accepted rules and standards in the field, this book focuses on the ethical aspects and fundamentals of this profession that accountants should also take into consideration, as this is the only way to build and preserve society’s confidence in accounting and increase its social credibility.
Book Synopsis Earnings Quality by : Jennifer Francis
Download or read book Earnings Quality written by Jennifer Francis and published by Now Publishers Inc. This book was released on 2008 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This review lays out a research perspective on earnings quality. We provide an overview of alternative definitions and measures of earnings quality and a discussion of research design choices encountered in earnings quality research. Throughout, we focus on a capital markets setting, as opposed, for example, to a contracting or stewardship setting. Our reason for this choice stems from the view that the capital market uses of accounting information are fundamental, in the sense of providing a basis for other uses, such as stewardship. Because resource allocations are ex ante decisions while contracting/stewardship assessments are ex post evaluations of outcomes, evidence on whether, how and to what degree earnings quality influences capital market resource allocation decisions is fundamental to understanding why and how accounting matters to investors and others, including those charged with stewardship responsibilities. Demonstrating a link between earnings quality and, for example, the costs of equity and debt capital implies a basic economic role in capital allocation decisions for accounting information; this role has only recently been documented in the accounting literature. We focus on how the precision of financial information in capturing one or more underlying valuation-relevant constructs affects the assessment and use of that information by capital market participants. We emphasize that the choice of constructs to be measured is typically contextual. Our main focus is on the precision of earnings, which we view as a summary indicator of the overall quality of financial reporting. Our intent in discussing research that evaluates the capital market effects of earnings quality is both to stimulate further research in this area and to encourage research on related topics, including, for example, the role of earnings quality in contracting and stewardship.
