Furthermore, we show that the impact of foreign exchange risk on audit fees is attenuated by auditor MNC expertise, auditor busyness, and MNC’s operation diversity, whereas the impact is exacerbated for companies facing high pressure to avoid missing earnings targets and for auditors with high market concentration.

Since these activities create firm value and benefit the agent due to the inherent characteristics of consumption goods, the principal faces a trade-off between letting agents work with high-powered incentives and the tax payments resulting from non-deductible expenses. Further, we consider a government's behavior to analyze the case in which the government can flexibly change the non-deductible ratio. We find that the impacts of the corporate tax rate and the agent's preference for activities that incur tax non-deductible expenses depend on whether the non-deductible ratio is flexible.

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.

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}

This association is attributable to both managerial opportunism and ineffective accounting information systems.
