Abstract

This study analyzes the earnings management that can occur in the process of public offering in the process of SMEs reducing cost of capital, risks and seeking opportunities for direct financing. Since a company is subject to strict supervision during the IPO process, it is possible to prevent the phenomenon that the company value evaluated in the market is underestimated, or to perform earnings management in consideration of overestimation. This study attempted to verify the degree of earnings management through discretionary accruals and actual earnings management values that can affect the earnings ratio of the IPO of a company. For this study, total accruals were calculated and analyzed through discretionary accruals, sales, costs, and actual earnings management adjustments from production activities. As a result of the analysis, discretionary accruals, which are the countermeasures for earnings management during the listing process, have a positive(+) relationship in both the stock price return and the sales adjustment value, which can be viewed as a factor that induces high valuation. As a result of this, there may be a risk of adverse selection for the benefit amount, and information asymmetry may exist for public offering stocks. This study can provide useful guidelines for evaluating corporate value to domestic SMEs and investors that do business with Chinese companies as well as China through the current and type of earnings management of Chinese listed companies.

본 연구는 중소기업의 자본비용과 리스크를 줄이고 직접자본 조달의 기회를 얻기 위해 진행하는 기업공개와 그 과정에서 나타날 수 있는 이익조정에 대해 분석하였다. 경영자는 IPO과정에서 엄격한 관리감독을 받기 때문에 시장에서 평가되는 기업가치가 저평가 되는 현상을 방지하거나 고평가를 고려하여 이익조정을 실행할 수 있다. 본 연구는 기업의 공모 및 발행주가 수익비율에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 재량적 발생액과 실제 이익 조정치를 통해 이익조정이 이루어지는지를 검증하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 이익 조정치를 재량적 발생액과 판매, 비용, 그리고 생산 활동의 실제 이익조정으로 간주하여 관계정도를 분석하였다. 분석결과 상장과정에서 이익조정의 대응치인 재량적 발생액은 주가 수익률과 판매 조정치에 모두 양(+)의 관계로 나타나 고평가를 유인할 수 있는 요인으로 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 결과는 이익조정은 투자자에게 역선택에 대한 리스크가 있을 수 있으며, 공모주에 대한 정보 비대칭이 존재할 수 있다고 추론할 수 있다. 본 연구는 중국 상장기업의 이익조정현황과 유형을 통해 중국뿐만 아니라 중국기업과 거래하는 국내 중소기업과 투자자에게 기업가치를 평가하는데 유용한 지침을 제공할 수 있을 것이다.
