This study furthers this line of research by considering the role equity method investments play as a moderating factor in the firm's ability to derive financial performance benefits from CSR. I find that the extent of equity method investments as a percentage of a firm's asset mix moderates the overall positive relation between CSR and future financial performance. Further, while CSR strengthens the link between consolidated earnings and future earnings, CSR does not significantly impact the link between equity method earnings and future earnings. These results are consistent with CSR being associated only with the operations of the parent company that directly engages in the CSR activities and the reputational benefits not extending to the parent company's equity method investments. Firms and investors deciding whether there is a business case for CSR activities should consider that the extent of their equity method investments moderates the positive financial performance benefits the firm may receive from CSR and adjust expectations accordingly.</p>","PeriodicalId":44561,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Corporate Accounting and Finance","volume":"36 1","pages":"216-230"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143112180","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Does macroeconomic uncertainty (really) influence managers’ earnings management? 宏观经济的不确定性（真的）会影响管理者的收益管理吗？

The extant literature has shown mixed evidence on whether macroeconomic uncertainty affects accounting quality. The EPU reflects unrepresentative political risks and thus is expected to substantially mismeasure economic uncertainty. This study investigates the association between macro uncertainty and earnings management by utilizing a novel and more unbiased measure of macro uncertainty, the gross domestic product (GDP) dispersion, and the volatility index (VIX). We find that firms engage more in earnings management when macroeconomic uncertainty is high, consistent with the notion that investors’ attention is limited due to information asymmetry providing earnings management opportunities. We also document that managers’ earnings management not only involves discretionary accruals but also real earnings management. The results are robust to controlling for firm characteristics, to an alternative measure of macroeconomic uncertainty, and to the endogeneity concern.</p>","PeriodicalId":44561,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Corporate Accounting and Finance","volume":"36 1","pages":"185-197"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141929199","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We propose that managerial decisions regarding resource adjustment are influenced by the state of resource markets in the firm's vicinity, hypothesizing that a high concentration of industry peers triggers downward asset price spirals during simultaneous resource liquidation. Additionally, we anticipate that industry-wide demand exceeding fixed capacity exacerbates congestion costs, thereby diminishing bargaining power in local resource markets. We predict that heightened resource adjustment costs linked to industry co-location discourage managers from reducing capacity commitments, thereby increasing cost stickiness. Our findings support this prediction, demonstrating a positive association between industry co-location and cost stickiness. Moreover, we observe that cost stickiness intensifies when closely located industry peers experience declines in sales. This paper provides initial evidence illuminating the impact of industry co-location on cost stickiness and suggests managerial implications to prevent costlier capacity adjustment through local resource markets.</p>","PeriodicalId":44561,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Corporate Accounting and Finance","volume":"36 1","pages":"198-209"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143112598","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The recent emphasis by the Securities and Exchange Commission on improving accounting and controls within public companies has led to heightened scrutiny of firms with ongoing MW disclosures. Analyzing data from 2004 to 2021, we find that approximately one-third of MW observations are for 2 or more consecutive years, with the longest duration being 12 years. Our research shows that these firms face progressively higher audit fees and longer audit report lags for each additional year of MW disclosure. Firm–years with long-standing MW disclosures (5 or more consecutive years) have the highest audit fees and the longest audit report lags. Our findings also reveal a significant increase in the likelihood of misstatements during the first and second consecutive years of MW disclosures, and a consistent and notable rise in discretionary accruals over the initial 4 consecutive years of MW reporting for these firms.
