Abstract

The purpose of this study is to provide an efficient internal control system formation incentives for company and to confirm empirically usefulness of the internal accounting control system for financial institutions by analyzing whether the internal control vulnerabilities of companies related significantly to the classification and assessment of soundness of financial institutions. Empirical analysis covered KOSPI, KOSDAQ listed companies and unlisted companies with more than 100 billion won of assets which have trading performance with "K" financial institution from 2008 until 2013. Whereas non-internal control vulnerability reporting companies by the internal control of financial reporting received average credit rating of BBB on average, reporting companies received CCC rating. And statistically significantly, non-reporting companies are classified as "normal" and reporting companies are classified as "precautionary loan" when it comes to asset quality classification rating. Therefore, reported information of internal control vulnerability reduced the credibility of the financial data, which causes low credit ratings for companies and suggests financial institutions save additional allowance for asset insolvency prevention and require high interest rates. It is a major contribution of this study that vulnerability reporting of internal control in accordance with the internal control of financial reporting can be used as information significant for the evaluation of financial institutions on corporate soundness.

본 연구는 기업의 내부통제 취약점 유무가 금융기관의 기업건전성 평가 분류와 유의적으로 작용하는지를 실증 분석함으로써, 기업에게는 효율적인 내부통제제도 형성유인을 제공하고 금융기관에게는 내부회계관리제도에 따른 정보유용성을 실증적으로 확인해 보는데 있다. 분석대상은 2008년부터 2013년까지 K_금융기관과 거래실적이 있는 유가증권 및 코스닥 상장기업과 자산 1,000억 원 이상의 비상장기업이다. 분석결과, 내부회계관리제도에 따른 내부통제 취약점 비보고기업은 평균적으로 'BBB' 신용등급을 받는데 반하여, 보고기업은 'CCC'등급을 받고 있으며, 자산 건전성 분류 역시 통계적으로 유의하게 비보고기업은 '정상'으로, 보고기업은 '요주의' 기업으로 분류되고 있다. 따라서 내부통제의 취약점 보고정보는 기업이 형성하는 재무자료의 신뢰성을 저하시켜 기업에게는 낮은 신용등급의 원인으로, 금융기관에게는 자산부실화 예방을 위한 충당금 추가 적립, 높은 대출금리 요구의 유인이 될 수 있다는 점을 시사한다. 내부회계관리제도에 따른 내부통제의 취약점 보고가 기업신용평가나 자산건전성 분류 등 기업 건전성에 대한 금융기관의 평가에 유의한 정보로써 활용될 수 있다는 점을 제시하고 있는 것이 본 연구의 주요의의이다.
