This study aimed to examine earnings quality of firms selected as Global Champs project which has been promoted by the government since 2013 to support small and medium sized enterprises, for the screening year(t-1) and selected year(t). Earing quality is measured as the value of discretionary accruals estimated by Dechow et al.(1995) adjusted Jones model and Kothari et al.(2005) model, respectively. I analyze the differences of earning quality between the Global Champ firms and the paired firms selected through criteria of the similar total assets and the same industry in the screening year and the selected year. This study is motivated by the needs of measurement of the performance of the Project from the accounting transparent point of view. As the results of this study, major findings are summarized as follows. Firstly the earnings quality of the selected firms was lower than that of the paired firms. This can be explained as a result of motivation of earnings management by companies eager to meet the requirements to be selected for the Project. Secondly, in the selected year, the earnings quality was proved to improve, comparing to the screening year. This can be explained by the efforts of companies to reinforce management innovation and transparent management, which in turn led to positive effects on the earnings quality. These findings were found to be consistent in the additional analyses, where the earning quality of the reconstructed sample with only selected companies was compared for the screening year and the selected year, based on the year before the screening year(t-2).

This study analyzed how management earnings forecasts would have an effect on future earnings quality. The analysis period of study was from 2003 till 2009 (ofrom 2004 till 2011) based on variables of interest (dependent variables) and the annual data from a total of 475 companies that publicly announced manager's operating earnings forecasts among securities listing companies were used for analysis. As a result, first, it appeared that the more optimistic the manager's earnings forecasts were for the current term, the lower the future earnings quality was. Second, it was found that the lower the accuracy of the manager's earnings forecasts was for the current term, the lower the future earnings quality was. Such findings suggest that management earnings forecasts will be used for determining future earnings quality.

This study analyzed and compared the accounting earnings quality after the adoption of K-IFRS, targeting the stock exchange-listed firms (KOSPI, KOSDAQ). The analysis first revealed that KOSPI had higher quality accruals, and better persistence and predictability of the reported earnings and cash flows, compared to KOSDAQ. Second, in both KOSPI and KOSDAQ, the predictability of future cash flow showed that the accounting earnings was better than the cash flows. Third, for the persistence and predictability of earnings associated with the degree of accruals, in KOSPI and KOSDAQ both all, groups with better accruals quality had greater persistence and predictability of earnings, and a better future cash flow predictability of accounting earnings.

This study compared business performance and earnings quality before and after the COVID-19 pandemic for information and communication companies whose sales increased due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. For this, 4 indicators of ROA, growth potential, liquidity, and stability are used for business performance, and for earnings quality, the standard deviation of the residuals measured by the Dechow and Dichev(2002) model and Francis et al.(2005) model was used. As a result of the analysis, ROA, a representative business performance indicator, increased after xthe period compared to the period before the pandemic, but liquidity was rather deteriorated. As for the quality of earnings, it was confirmed that earnings sustainability is maintained in the post-pandemic period compared to the previous period, similar to ROA. Overall, the profit level and earnings quality of information and communications companies seemed to be improving, while liquidity was deteriorating. This confirms that companies that have overcome the immediate crisis are not ready to pay off their debts right away. Therefore, it suggests that companies need restructuring to reduce their increased debt from the time the COVID-19 subsides.

This paper analyzed the Earnings management of firms selected as preliminary Unicorn. If a manager is selected as a preliminary unicorn firm, he can receive financial support of up to 20 billion won, creating a factor in managing the manager's earnings. The motive for management's earnings management is related to the capital market. Accounting information is used by investors and financial analysts, and corporate profits affect corporate value. Therefore, if the accounting earning is adjusted upward, the corporate value will be raised and investment conditions will be favorable. In this paper, earnings quality was measured by the modified Jones model of Dechow et al.(1995) by the ROA control model of Kothari et al.(2005) among the discretionary accruals estimated using an alternative accrual prediction model. Competing similar companies in the same market as the selected companies were formed, and the discretionary accruals were mutually compared to verify the research hypotheses, and only the selected companies were analyzed for the audit year and after the audit year. As a result of the analysis, it was found that the companies selected as preliminary unicorns had higher earnings management compared to the corresponding companies in question, which had a negative impact on the quality of accounting profits. It was found that the companies selected as preliminary unicorns continued to receive incentives for management's earnings management even after being selected. These results indicate that the companies selected as prospective unicorns are recognized for their value in the market through external growth rather than internal growth, and thus, incentives for management's earnings management to attract investment from external investors under favorable conditions are continuing. In the future preliminary unicorn selection evaluation, it was possible to present what needs to be reviewed on the quality of accounting earning. The implication of this paper is that the factors of management's earnings management eventually hinder investors and creditors from judging the reliability of accounting information. It was suggested that a policy alternative for the K-Unicorn Project, which enhances reliability were presented by reflecting the evaluation of earnings quality through discretionary accruals.

This paper analyzes empirically how analysts' forecasts affected by ownership structure. This study examine a sample of 1,037~1,629 the analysts' forecasts of firms registered in Korean Stock Exchange in the period from 2000 to 2006. The empirical results are summarized as follows. First, from the analysis, companies which have higher major shareholder's holdings tend to increase earnings forecast errors and earnings forecast accuracy. Meanwhile, companies which have higher institution shareholder's holdings tend to decrease earnings forecast errors and earnings forecast accuracy. This result is in line with the view of previous works that companies with higher major shareholder's holdings look towards more of analysts' optimistic forecasts in order to maintain friendly relations with major shareholders. Because of analysts' private information use from major shareholders, earnings forecast accuracy is higher in high major shareholder's holdings firm than in high institution shareholder's holdings it. Second, this analysis is whether the minimal required selection condition of outside directors, audit committee adoption and audit quality affect the relation between ownership structure and analysts' forecasts. This result is that variables related corporate governance do not affect statically the relation between ownership structure and analysts' forecasts. The meanings of this paper is to suggest the positive relations between ownership structure and analysts' forecasts. After this, if analysts will notice forecasts of more many firms, capital market will be more efficient and this field works are plentiful. Also it will need monitoring systems not to distort market efficiency by analysts' dishonest forecasts.

Since 1982, the auditee have selected the auditor under market mechanism. Under the system on which the auditor have been chosen by client, there have been chances for opinion shopping, etc. To prevent those, some audit regulations have been introduced. Prior studies have documented the positive effect of these audit regulations. Those studies, however, had some limitations which they dealt with just short event period for empirical tests. This study examines the effect of Auditor Turnover Ratio on the Quality of Earnings using a sample of firms that were listed on Korea Exchange(KRX) from 1995 to 2004. The firms that change auditor frequently are expected to have low disclosure quality. The CEO with the incentives to manage or manipulate earnings could accomplish this purpose by replacing existing auditor with more friendly auditor, which could result in eventually lowering earning's quality of the firm. The result of empirical test shows that the accrual quality of firms which have high auditor turnover ratio are significantly lower than those of firms which have low ratio. This result is consistent with our hypothesis that the more frequently a firm changes auditor, the lower the quality of earning is. This evidence might give the implication to policy-making supervisor.

데이터웨어하우스는 데이터분석을 위한 특수 목적의 데이터베이스로, 주로 데이터분석을 위한 질의(이하 OLAP 질의)가 던져진다. 그런데 OLAP질의는 수백만개의 레코드를 가지 테이블에 대해 하나 이상의 aggregation 함수와 group-by 연산자가 포함되므로, 질의 처리 시간은 수 분에서 수 시간이 걸린다. 이를 개선하기위하여 데이터 큐브를 구현함에 있어서의 문제는 디스크 공간이 한정되어 있기 때문에 평균 질의 처리 시간이 훨씬 짧아진다하더라도 모든 셀들을 실체화할수 없다. 따라서 한정된 디스크 공간을 최대한 활용하면서 가능한 빠른 평균 질의 처리 시간을 얻을 수 있도록 데이터 큐브의 일부만을 실체화 시켜야한다. 본 논문의 주제와 관련된 연구로는 Harinarayan[4] 이 제안한 greedy 알고리즘이 있다. 이 알고리즘은 1) 데이터 큐브를 격자구조로 표현한후, 2) 격자의 위에서부터 아래로 차례로 뷰들을 방문하면서 방문한 뷰가 실체화되 경우 데이터 큐브에 주는 이익을 계산한다. 3) 그 중 가장 이익이 큰 것을 선택한다. 3) 그중 가장 이익이 큰 것을 선택한다. 2)와 3)의 과정은 k개의 뷰를 선택할 경우, k번 반복된다. 이 알고리즘의 운영 시간은 데이터 큐브를 구성하는 뷰의 개수가 n개이고 그 중에서 k개를 실체화할 경우에 O(kn2)이다. 본 논문에서는 운영 시간을 향상시킨 수정된 greedy 알고리즘을 제안한다. 알고리즘 내부에서 실체화할 뷰를 선택할 때 격자를 단순화시킨 트리를 사용함으로써, 알고리즘 운영시간을 O(kn2)에서 O(kn)으로 향상시켰다.

본 연구는 기업가치를 측정하기 위해서 활용될 수 있는 두 가지의 새로운 모형을 개발하였다. 두 가지 모형은 모두 자산가치와 수익가치의 가중평균으로 기업의 본질가치를 표현할 수 있다는데 공통적인 특징이 있다. 첫째 모형은 도산확률 하의 세후 기업가치 가중평균모형이다. 현금흐름할인법으로 알려진 전체기업가치 평가방법론(entity approach)에 기초한 기업가치 평가모형인 이원흠 최수미(2002)의 지식자산가치 평가모형 및 이원흠 최수미(2004)의 가중평균 가치평가모형으로부터 도산확률 하의 세후 가중평균 기업가치 평가모형을 도출하였다. 이 모형은 기업가치는 수익가치 및 실물자산의 가치와 지급이자의 절세효과, 예상도산비용 등 4부분으로 구성된다는 것을 보여 주고 있다. 둘째 모형은 이익조정에 의한 비정상발생액을 감안한 기업가치 가중평균모형이다. 회계학 분야에 주로 발전한 발생액을 고려한 이익의 질(quality of earnings)을 기업가치 측면에서 평가할 수 있는 새로운 모형이다. 이익의 질을 고려한 기업가치 평가모형도 첫째 모형의 도출논리에 의거하여 세후 혹은 도산확률 하의 세후 기업가치 평가모형으로 확장할 수 있다. 새로이 개발된 가중평균 가치평가모형을 통해 추정한 수익가치와 자산가치의 가중치, 가중평균자본비용 등의 정보는 상장주식의 목표가격 평가, 투자등급 판정 등에 활용될 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 신규상장주식의 공모가, 비상장기업의 합병가액산정, 지주회사의 가치평가 등 비상장기업의 가치평가 분야에 광범위하게 응용될 수 있을 것이다.
