This paper examines whether debt ratio effects earnings management. There are various methods that estimate earnings management. This paper examines whether these methods impact on the relationship between earnings management and debt ratio. In addition, this study examines whether these relationship effects of debt type. Previous studies in this area haven't examined the relationship between debt ratio and earnings management in Korea. These studies didn't consider earnings management's method to analysis for this relationship. This paper tests the relationship between earnings management and debt ratio with methods of earnings management unlike from previous studies. Results are summaried as following. First, the relationship between debt ratio and earnings management was different for these methods. Abnormal Accruals that used estimation of eanrnings management in previous studies didn't examine these results that debt ratio effects of earnings management. However, it was significant positive the relationship between real activity management and debt ratio.

This study investigates whether earnings management behavior of chaebol firms differ from that of non-chaebol firms. The ownership structure of chaebol firms is characterized by the dominance of one largest shareholder and his family members who typically participate in the management of the firm directly or indirectly and influence most of the important management decision. This study adopts the random effect model and the hausman and talyor model, using a panel of 5092 firm-year over a period from 1991 to 2010 to control for potential heterogeneity and endogeneity that may cause sever bias. This study finds that there is no difference in accrual based earnings management level between chaebol firms and non-chaebol firms. However, chaebol firms appeared to engage less real earnings management that is known to negatively affect future earnings and share prices. The results are consistent when controlling for potential heterogeneity and endogeneity in the hausman and taylor model. The results may be of interest to various stakeholders, policy makers, standard setters and academic researchers.

This study analyzed the relationship between the debt ratios of Korean and Japanese manufacturing firms with accruals and actual earnings managements after the global financial crisis. This study was conducted on Korean and Japanese firms from 2008 to 2015. As a result, the Korean firms, the higher (lower) debt ratio is, more up(down)side earnings management using discretionary accruals and operating cash flow. In contrast, the Japanese firms found that the higher(lower) the debt ratio is, more up(down)side through its actual activities (operating cash flows, manufacturing costs, discretionary costs) rather than accruals. This study establishes the academic basis for the decision-making of Korean-Japanese firmss by using the sample of each country to check what kind of decision-makers are making earnings managements at the present time when the relationship between Korea and Japan has suffered due to export restrictions. It is meaningful in that it was.

Earnings management is a collection of management decisions which firms do not report the true performance. Many prior studies suggest that earnings management could be the results of either managerial earnings management or manager's private information for future performance. This study attempts to delve into the fundamental implications inherent in earnings management by analyzing how earnings management affects future firm performance in public institutions. If discretionary accruals as a measurement of earnings management embrace manager's private information, it will have a positive effect on future performance in succeeding period. In contrast, if discretionary accruals embrace manager's opportunistic earnings management, it will have a negative effect on future performance in succeeding period. Empirical findings are summarized as following.: Earnings managements are negatively associated with future firm performance for all succeeding period. This negative relationship continues for all succeeding period. The overall results can be serve as a evidence that the discretionary accruals capture opportunistic earnings management on average.

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.

The purpose of this study is to examine the moderating effect of the reporting earnings strategy on the relationship between managerial ability and manager performance-reward sensitivity. Both upward and downward adjustments can occur in the direction of management performance adjustment according to the manager's reporting earnings strategy. was found to decrease performance-based performance-reward sensitivity. The underreporting strategy is hypothesized that, although additional compensation is paid for the performance of the reporting strategy according to the manager's ability, the level of compensation increases, but this type of compensation will decrease the performance-reward sensitivity because this type of compensation is irrelevant to the actual performance of the manager. This is the result of indirectly confirming that discriminatory compensation is provided for upward and downward adjustment of business performance according to the reporting earnings strategy.

본 논문은 금융실명제가 기업에서 발표하는 회계학적 이익정보에 대한 주식가격의 변화에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 이는 금융실명제실시 이후에는 기업에서 창출해 내는 기업이익이 진정한 이익에 보다 더 접근을 할 것이라 예상과 채무분석가의 기업이익에 대한 예측치는 진정한 이익에 대한 예측치이므로 금융실명제 실시 이후에는 예측오차가 감소할 것이다는 일반적 예상을 검증하기 위한 것이다. 본 논문은 먼저 1992년과 1993년 12월 결산기업에 대하여 비기대이익을 계산하여 두 해에서의 차이를 분석하였고, 계산된 비기대이익과 기업이익 공시시점에서의 비정상수익율과의 관계를 회귀분석을 통하여 분석하였다. 채무분석가의 예측치로서 대우경제연구소에서 1992년과 1993년 12월에 각각 발표한 각 상장기업의 이익에 대한1992년 및 1993년의 예상치를 각각 년도의 예상기업 이익으로 사용하고 실제로 1993년과 1994년 초에 공시되는 기업이익과의 차이를 조사하였다. 비정상수익율의 계산은 시장위험조정모형과 시장조정모형을 사용하였고 일별수익율에 의하여 측정하였다. 사건 시점은 주주총회 일을 중심으로하여 여러 사건 기간을 택하여 분석을 하였다. 실증적 분석 결과를 보면, 전체표본을 대상으로한 재무분석가의 추정치에 의하여 계산된 비기대이익의 분산이 금융실명제 실시 이후가 실시 이전에 비하여 더 크게 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 금융실명제의 실시로 인하여 재무분석가의 예측이 오히려 더 부정확하게 나타난 것이라 할 수 있다. 이러한 결과는 실명제 실시에 따라서 기업이익예측에 대한 불확실성이 더 증가를 하여 기업이익 공시시점에서의 비기대이익의 측정에서의 오차가 오히려 증가하였다는 것을 알 수 있다. 그러나 전체표본을 소그룹으로 나누어서, 1부에 속한 기업들과 대형 주기업들을 대상으로한 분석에서는 이 두 소그룹에 속한 기업들이 각각 금융실명제실시 이후가 금융실명제 실시 이전보다 비기대이익의 분산이 작게 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 1부에 속한 기업들과 대형주기업들에서 는 금융실명제실시로 채무분석가들의 이익 예측치가 더 정확성을 지니게 된 것으로 해석된다. 이익반응계수의 추정에서 예상했던 바와는 반대로 금융실명제 실시 이후에 계수의 크기가 오히려 감소하였다. 소그룹으로 나누어서 분석한 결과도 마찬가지였다. 금융실명제 실시가 기업회계이익에 미친 영향은 비기대이익의 측정을 통하여 일부 가설과 일치하는 결과를 얻었고, 이익반응계수의 측정에서는 가설과 일치하는 결과를 얻지 못하였다.

대부분의 조직들은 그 조직의 생존과 발전을 위해 장기 전략 계획과 동시에 운영 을 위한 구체적 단기 계획(예 : 생산 계획)을 항상 수립 또는 조정하고 있다. 특히 장기적인 관점에서의 이익 극대화와 생존을 위해 수립되거나 조정된 장기 전략 계획을 효과적으로 달 성하기 위해서는 실제 그 전략을 수행하기 위한 단기 계획에 대한 전략 계획 결과의 일관되 고 지속적인 반영이 필수적이다. 그러나 단기 계획 수립 시점에서 전략 목표나 전략 계획의 내용을 단기적으로 실현 가능한 이익 관점에서 양적으로 구체화하여 평가하기 어려운 현실 적 이유로 인해 대부분의 경우 객관적으로 측정 가능한 단기 이익을 극대화하는 방향으로 단기 계획을 수립하는 것이 보통이다. 따라서 이러한 단기 계획의 수립은 장기 전략 계획과 의 불일치를 가져오게 되며 궁극적으로 기업의 장기적 이익 극대화와 생존에 불리한 결과를 초래할 수도 있다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 장기전략 계획이 구체적인 단기 계획에 있어 어떤 구체적이고 명시적인 의미나 결과를 가지게 되는지를 파악할 수 있는 체계를 모형화 하고, 이를 바탕으로 장기 전략 계획을 달성하기 위해 혹은 장기 전략 계획의 변화가 발생 했을 경우 이에 따른 단기 계획에의 일관된 조정을 수행할 수 있는 방법론을 개발 제시하고 자 한다. 본 연구에서는 이를 위해 장기 전략 계획으로는 포트폴리오(Portfolio) 계획 모형을 가정하고 있으며, 단기 계획 수립은 최적화 모형(예 : 선형계획법)을 사용하는 것을 전제로 하여 신경망 기반 응용최적통제(Adaptive Optimal Control)기법을 통해 포트폴리오 모형을 전략 목표를 위한 최적화 모형의 통제 및 조정을 수행함으로써 전략 계획에 의한 단기 계획 조정을 달성하고자 한다. 본 연구에서 제시한 방법론은 장기 전략 목포를 달성하기 위한 일 관적인 기군에 따른 적절한 단기 계획의 통제가 가능하다는 것을 보여주었으며 나아가서 장 기 전략 목표와 단기 이익간의 체계적인 상호 교환적 절충의 가능성 역시 경험적으로 증명 하고 있다. 이는 대부분의 기업 환경에 적용되어 현대의 빠른 기업 환경 변화에 대응하기 위한 전략 계획의 변화를 신속하고 효과적으로 단기 계획에 반영할 수 잇는 방법을 제시함 으로써 기업의 전략 목표 달성에 중요한 역할을 담당할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

In this paper, we study empirically the relations between financial constraints and dividend adjustment speed of innovative small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) listed on Kosdaq Market of Korea Exchange. The main results of this study can be summarized as follows. Determinants suggested by the major theories of dividends, namely, residual dividend theory, dividend signaling theory, agency theory, catering theory, and transactions cost theory explain significantly the dividend payout policy of Kosdaq SMEs. Lintner's dividend adjustment model indicates that Kosdaq SMEs have long run target payout ratio, and that Kosdaq SMEs adjust partially the gap between actual and target payout ratio each year. In the core variables of Lintner (1956) dividend adjustment model, past DPS has more effect than current EPS. These results suggest that Kosdaq SMEs maintain stable dividend policy which maintain past DPS level without corporate special reasons. Dividend adjustment speed of innovative Kosdaq SMEs is more fast than that of uninnovative Kosdaq SMEs, and dividend adjustment speed of financial unconstrained innovative Kosdaq SMEs is faster than that of financial constrained innovative Kosdaq SMEs. Futhermore, dividend adjustment speed of innovative Kosdaq SMEs classified by Small and Medium Business Administration is faster than that of unclassified innovative Kosdaq SMEs. The former is linked with financial policies and services like credit guaranteed service, venture investment fund, insurance program, and so on. In conclusion, past DPS and current EPS suggested by the Lintner's dividend adjustment model explain mainly dividend adjustment speed, and financial constraints explain also partially. Therefore, if managers of innovative Kosdaq SMEs can properly understand of the effects of financial constraints on dividend smoothing, they can maintain constantly dividend policy. This is encouraging result for Korea government as it has implemented many policies to commit to innovative Kosdaq SMEs.
