It is consistent with the view that when employees face material unemployment risk, they are more incentivized to engage in information search and analysis, thereby curtailing the effectiveness of managerial bad news hoarding activities (i.e., <em>the protection heightening risk hypothesis</em>). Our findings are robust to a battery of sensitivity tests.

Furthermore, CEOs with high confidence are more likely to curtail overinvestment after their crash experiences relative to others, thereby contributing to shareholder value.

This outcome remains robust to a variety of sensitivity tests and after accounting for potential endogeneity concerns. Cross-sectional analyses reveal that the effect of abnormal tone in RBC on project success is contingent on project quality and legal jurisdiction. Further investigation of the concurrent effect of abnormal tone in the two sections shows that an increase in the discretionary tone, given that it is overly optimistic, has a negative effect on funding performance. Last, based on a machine learning Sent-Latent Dirichlet Allocation model, we explore up to 70 specific risk categories embedded in Kickstarter projects, and we find that eight of them are strongly and negatively associated with project success.

This paper introduces a theoretical framework to dissect how the profession reacts to such disruptions. We posit that destabilizations give rise to novel types of misconduct, leading professional bodies to re-evaluate their definitions of (un)acceptable accounting behaviours. However, the intrinsically nebulous essence of accounting's foundational logic muddies these recalibrations. This vagueness, when paired with evolving misconduct, undermines specific regulatory measures, possibly instigating further destabilization. Our proposed accounting destabilization and regulation framework is exemplified through a case study focusing on the emerging regulation of valuation advisory work – a service line that is emblematic of financialization – in a Canadian provincial jurisdiction. This case underscores the challenges the profession faces due to financialization, highlighting the current regulatory strategy that treats valuation work as a strictly technical process; an approach that we show is inadequate in mitigating valuation-related misconduct. The paper enriches the literature by introducing a novel theoretical framework for evaluating emerging challenges in accounting regulation, and by delineating the case study's repercussions for the evolving financialized landscape of the accounting profession.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47996,"journal":{"name":"British Accounting Review","volume":"57 3","pages":"Article 101358"},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139945395","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We find that measures of IRQ based on seven textual attributes are negatively related to synchronicity, which is consistent with higher quality text containing more firm-specific content. Using PhraseLDA to identify topics in integrated reports, we find that contents related to the three most common categories—governance, performance, and risks and opportunities—are negatively associated with synchronicity. We find similar results for all integrated report capitals, except manufactured capital. Further, we find that sustainability information has a larger negative association with synchronicity than financial information. We also find that proprietary costs stemming from product market competition attenuate the association between IRQ and synchronicity, which suggests the informativeness of integrated reports varies with a firm's competitive environment.
