Abstract

We analyze some personal characteristics of the members of the audit committee of the Spanish listed firms and the relation between these characteristics and earnings management. We find a non-linear relation with tenure, so that long tenures can initially compromise the directors’ independence but, after a given threshold, longer tenures improve the expertise of the members. Serving in too many boards has a negative influence on the ability of directors to detect earnings management, and higher academic background and more diverse professional background improve the directors’ abilities.

合适的时间合适的人：审计委员会成员与财务信息质量

我们分析了西班牙上市公司审计委员会成员的一些个人特征，以及这些特征与盈余管理之间的关系。我们发现任期与任期之间存在非线性关系，因此长期任期最初可能会损害董事的独立性，但在给定的阈值之后，长期任期会提高成员的专业知识。在董事会任职过多会对董事发现盈余管理的能力产生负面影响，而更高的学术背景和更多元化的专业背景会提高董事的能力。
