Abstract
This study investigates the impact of accountability on the quality of information disclosure of state-owned enterprises, with a particular focus on the Accountability System for Illegal Business Operations and Investments (ASIBOI) that has been progressively implemented in China. Utilizing A-share listed companies from 2012 to 2022 as the research sample, we used the staggered difference-in-differences approach to explore the relationship and mechanism between ASIBOI and the quality of information disclosure of state-owned enterprises. The results show that ASIBOI improves the quality of information disclosure of state-owned enterprises by improving the internal governance system of enterprises, and this finding still holds after a series of robustness tests.
