This study tested whether IFRS financial reports of CBL firms domiciled in different legal environments are comparable. We examined the effects of differences in the legal enforcement of jurisdictions on comparability. We assessed comparability using an output-based method on a sample of CBL firms domiciled in 42 countries. The results do not provide evidence of comparability in the IFRS-based financial reports of different legal environments. The results also indicate that differences in legal enforcement are negatively associated with comparability. We also find evidence that the use of Big Four (Big 4) auditing services by CBL firms provides better comparability than the use of non-Big 4 services. These results suggest that CBL firms supplement country-level deficiencies in mandatory regulatory enforcement with voluntary firm-level structures such as auditor choice.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48070,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Accounting and Public Policy","volume":"45 ","pages":"Article 107207"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140539159","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}

Inconsistent with the traditional information economics theory that information disclosure can alleviate information asymmetry, we find robust evidence that insiders in firms with more narrative R&D disclosures gain significantly greater returns from their stock selling, but this positive relation is attenuated when the readability of R&D-related texts is higher. We examine two potential channels through which more narrative R&D disclosures increase information asymmetry, thus creating opportunities for insiders to trade profitably. One is managers’ obfuscation disclosure of narrative R&D information due to proprietary costs, and the other is the high information processing costs associated with the technical nature of R&D information. We also find that good corporate governance mechanisms can weaken the positive association between narrative R&D disclosure and insider trading profitability. In further analysis, we provide evidence that more narrative R&D disclosures indeed exert high information processing costs for investors and provide opportunities for insiders to trade more before bad news arrives. Overall, our research sheds light on the dark side of narrative R&D disclosure on firms’ information environment from the perspective of insider trading.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48070,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Accounting and Public Policy","volume":"45 ","pages":"Article 107210"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-04-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140535450","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}

Wayfair, Inc., Overstock.com, Inc., and Newegg, Inc.</em> (hereafter <em>Wayfair</em>), which overturned decades of judicial doctrine related to sales tax nexus. <em>Wayfair's</em> precedent provides a broadening of sales tax nexus and a significant increase in compliance costs. It also levels the playing field by requiring more firms without a physical presence to collect sales tax. We document negative stock market reactions surrounding the date the Supreme Court agreed to hear the case and the date the decision was announced for firms likely to experience increased compliance costs and a decrease in market share. In contrast, we observe positive market reactions for firms likely to benefit from states requiring firms lacking a physical presence to collect sales tax. Additional tests reveal that investments in auditor-provided tax and non-audit services increased, and the accuracy of analyst earnings forecasts decreased for firms most likely negatively affected by the decision. We also show that our sample firms identified as likely to be positively (negatively) affected by <em>Wayfair</em> experienced increased sales (operating costs) following the decision. Our results reveal that the court-induced expansion of the sales tax nexus doctrine significantly influenced investor perceptions of the costs and benefits for affected firms.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48070,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Accounting and Public Policy","volume":"44 ","pages":"Article 107190"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140030899","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}

This study fills this gap by investigating the effect of parent firm dividends on the earnings management of subsidiaries within a group. Using the establishment of China’s State-owned Capital Operating Budget System as an exogenous shock, we find that parent firm dividends significantly reduce the earnings management of subsidiaries. A mechanism analysis reveals that the improved earnings quality is primarily driven by the increased financing demand due to net capital outflow at subsidiaries rather than the agency problem mechanism based on dividend agency cost theory. Parent firm dividends primarily reduce downward earnings management and have a stronger influence on subsidiaries with shorter control chains. Heterogeneity analysis shows that this mitigating effect is more pronounced in firms with weaker external financial support and higher information asymmetry. Overall, we analyze how dividends paid by state-owned parent firms affect earnings management among their subsidiaries, offering valuable insights to business groups and state-owned entity managers involved in corporate governance.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48070,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Accounting and Public Policy","volume":"44 ","pages":"Article 107192"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140121878","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}
