摘要

我们的研究探讨了社会信任与私营企业选择提供经审计的财务报表之间的关系。通过对新兴市场的国际样本进行研究，我们发现，在社会信任度较高的国家，私营企业不太可能提供经审计的财务报表。得出这一结论的原因是，社会信任有助于解决契约不完善问题，替代经审计的财务报表来缓解代理问题。我们的研究表明，社会信任使私营企业较少依赖经审计的财务报表来促进契约的签订。我们的研究为有关私营企业的财务报告选择以及社会信任在经济决策中的作用的文献做出了贡献。

Social trust and the choices to provide audited financial statements by private firms in emerging markets

Our study explores the association between social trust and private firms' choices to provide audited financial statements. By exploring an international sample from emerging markets, we find that private firms in countries with higher social trust are less likely to provide audited financial statements. This finding arises because social trust helps address contracting imperfections, substituting for audited financial statements in mitigating agency problems. Our study suggests that social trust renders private firms rely less on audited financial statements to facilitate contracting. We contribute to the literature on private firms’ financial reporting choices and the role of social trust in shaping economic decisions.
