When firms have higher environmental performance, they can provide sustainable business that allows firms to build the value of credibility and ethics, higher reputation, higher productivity, and lower costs. The advantages of environmental responsibilities help firms to maintain their earnings level over a long-term period. This research aims to examine the effect of environmental performance on earnings persistence. Research samples include 413 manufacturing firms-years listed in the Indonesian Stock Exchange and the PROPER evaluation in 2013-2019. Environmental performance is measured by PROPER evaluation rating. The result shows that environmental performance has a positive effect on earnings persistence. The advantage of environmental responsibilities allows firms to enjoy performance sustainability and persistence in a long-term period, not only periodically. Also, the positive effect of environmental performance on earnings persistence occurs more in the environmentally sensitive industry than non-sensitive ones. Since an environmentally-sensitive industry brings more environmental damage, higher environmental performance is more valuable to provide sustainability. This research has limitations to use all the Indonesian Stock Exchange-listed firms since not all firms participate in the PROPER evaluation. This research implies firms' management should maintain earnings persistence and sustainability by implementing higher-quality environmental responsibility, especially for firms in an environmentally-sensitive industry.

Purpose - We attempted to verify the level of ethics of firms achieving sustainable management from the aspect of reliability of accounting information. Specifically, we evaluated the effects of sustainable management on accruals-based earning management (AEM) and real earning management (REM). Research design, data, and methodology - We employed the issuance of sustainability reports in addition to the indices of social responsibility and environmental-management evaluation of the Korea Corporate Governance Service in order to measure sustainability management. AEM was measured using discretionary accruals and calculated using the operant Jones model. Specifically, REM was measured using the methodology suggested by prior studies. The sample of our study consisted of 1,418 years of public listed firms in the Korea Stock Exchange from 2015 to 2017. Results - First, the level of AEM in firms achieving sustainable management was lower than the other. Second, the level of REM in these firms was lower than the other. Nonetheless, another analysis showed that the level of governance control affects the level of earning management and that the levels of AEM and REM were generally lower in firms achieving sustainable management than the others. Conclusions - We expected that firms achieving external ethics tend to have a higher level of internal ethics than others.

The relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and earnings management is still a debate. Several previous studies showed that CSR is a determinant of earnings management. Meanwhile, others revealed the reverse. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the effect of CSR disclosure on earnings management and the effect of earnings management on CSR disclosure. This study was conducted with mining companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) in the 2016-2019 period. The research data was analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis. The data is obtained from financial statements, annual reports, and sustainability reports. The results reveal that there is a positive relationship between CSR disclosure and earnings management. This study also shows that the relationship model of CSR disclosure and earnings management is recursive. This finding implies that CSR disclosure is a tool used by management to cover up unethical actions from stakeholders. These results verify the agency theory and opportunist hypothesis regarding the relationship between CSR and earnings management. The novelty of this study lies in highlighting the recursive model of the relationship between CSR and earnings management.

The research aims to explore the links among corporate governance, corporate social responsibility, and earnings management, considering vital roles of each component in Vietnam. There were 500 questionnaires provided to the targeted enterprises, where there were 150 enterprises in Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange, 150 enterprises in Hanoi Stock Exchange, and 200 enterprises in the unlisted public company market. Of the distributed questionnaires, only 289 replies offered needed information for analyses. The data derived from these firms was based on their annual or sustainability statements that were retrieved from the websites. This research used a six-year rolling window to calculate earnings management. To compute that variable, lagged year information was included, so the data from 2011 to 2017 was needed to collect. The empirical results show that corporate governance mechanism is a significant moderation in the positive link between good corporate social responsibility and earnings management. Furthermore, corporate social responsibility and earnings management also play mediating roles in the associations among corporate governance, corporate social responsibility, and earnings management. This project recommends that corporate governance mechanism is an essential driver of the managerial behaviors in social responsibility and ethical accounting practices, which are in turn mediators in the joint research model.

기업은 사회의 구성원으로서 사회적 책임을 다해야 하는 의무가 있다. 비록 기업이 사회적 책임을 완수하기 위해서 기업의 자원을 일정 부분 소비하지만 이러한 기업의 사회적 책임활동은 사회적 불평등을 해소하는데 도움을 주고 있다. 한편, 기업의 사회적 책임활동은 기업의 지속적 성장과 관련이 높을 수 있다. 많은 선행연구들은 기업의 사회적 책임활동과 기업의 지속가능성에 대해 관심을 가지고 있다. 그러나 기존의 선행연구들은 변수들간의 관계를 단순하게 선형이라고 가정하고 있기 때문에 복잡한 현실세계를 반영하지 못하는 한계점 또한 존재하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 마코브 블랭킷을 통해 변수들간 최소한의 상관관계를 도출하고 베이지안 네트워크를 통해 다양한 현실세계 속에서 변수들간의 관련성을 분석하고자 한다. 또한 본 연구에서 사용한 민감도분석은 복잡한 현실세계에서 다양한 변수들간의 변동성을 파악하는데 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것이다. 본 연구는 기업의 지속가능성에 관심이 많은 투자자와 채권자들에게 유용한 정보를 제공할 수 있을 것이다. 왜냐하면, 그들은 기업의 가치에 관심이 많은데 사회적 책임활동은 기업의 가치에 긍정 또는 부정적인 영향 모두 미칠 수 있기 때문이다. 본 연구의 중요한 결과로 기업의 미래이익지속성은 당연히 영업이익과 밀접한 관련이 있으며, 기업의 지배구조가 건전할수록 기업은 안정적으로 사회적 책임을 완수하는 모습을 보였다. 그러나 기업의 규모가 크다고 하여 기업 관련 법규를 잘 준수하는 것을 아니라는 것이 나타났다. 이는 최근의 많은 기업들이 법규를 준수하지 않아 사회적 지탄을 받는 일과도 무관하지 않을 것이다. 한편, 기업의 지속가능성이 자본시장에 미치는 영향을 고려할 때 이러한 자본시장을 감독하는 관계당국도 본 연구의 결과를 활용하여 정책을 입안하거나 규정을 정비하는데 도움을 받을 수 있을 것이다.

본 연구는 코로나19 팬데믹의 영향으로 매출이 상승한 정보통신업 기업을 대상으로 팬데믹 선언 전·후의 경영성과와 이익의 질을 비교하고 이러한 차이가 유의미한지를 분석하였다. 이를 위하여 경영성과는 수익성, 성장성, 유동성, 안정성의 4가지 지표를 사용하고, 이익의 질은 Dechow and Dichev(2002) 모형과 Francis et al.(2005)의 모형을 이용하여 측정한 잔차의 표준편차를 이용하였다. 분석 결과, 대표적인 경영성과 지표인 ROA는 팬데믹 이전 기간보다 이후 기간이 상승하였지만, 유동성은 오히려 악화된 것으로 나타났다. 이익의 질 또한 ROA와 마찬가지로 팬데믹 이후 기간이 이전 기간에 비하여 이익 지속성이 유지되고 있음을 확인하였다. 전반적으로 정보통신업 기업의 이익 수준과 이익의 질은 개선되고 있는 것으로 보이지만 유동성은 약화하고 있으므로 눈앞의 위기를 넘겼던 기업들이 당장 부채를 상환할 준비는 되어있지 않다는 것을 확인하였다. 따라서 앞으로 코로나19가 진정되는 시점부터 늘어난 부채를 줄이기 위한 기업들의 구조조정이 필요함을 시사한다.

While the incorporating ESG indicator is recognized as crucial for sustainability and increased firm value, inconsistent disclosure of ESG data and vague assessment standards have been key challenges. To address these issues, this study proposes an ambiguous text-based automated ESG rating strategy. Earnings Call Transcript data were classified as E, S, or G using the Refinitiv-Sustainable Leadership Monitor's over 450 metrics. The study employed advanced natural language processing techniques such as BERT, RoBERTa, ALBERT, FinBERT, and ELECTRA models to precisely classify ESG documents. In addition, the authors computed the average predicted probabilities for each label, providing a means to identify the relative significance of different ESG factors. The results of experiments demonstrated the capability of the proposed methodology in enhancing ESG assessment criteria established by various rating agencies and highlighted that companies primarily focus on governance factors. In other words, companies were making efforts to strengthen their governance framework. In conclusion, this framework enables sustainable and responsible business by providing insight into the ESG information contained in Earnings Call Transcript data.

본 연구는 수익비용대응이 정보비대칭을 감소시키는지 먼저 살펴보고 이익지속성과 정보비대칭에 미치는 영향을 검증한다. 경영자와 정보이용자간에 정보비대칭이 존재하는 상황에서 경영자는 이익의 질을 높임으로써 정보비대칭을 감소시킬 수 있다. 정보비대칭은 재무분석가의 이익예측분산으로 측정한다. 선행연구의 결과를 살펴볼 때, 수익비용대응이 높을수록 정보비대칭이 감소하는지를 살펴보고, 수익비용대응이 높은 경우 이익지속성과 정보비대칭간에 음(-)의 관련성이 나타나는지를 검증한다. 연구결과, 수익비용대응이 높은 기업들은 정보비대칭이 감소하는 결과를 보였다. 높은 수익비용대응이 수행된 이익의 지속성은 재무분석가의 이익예측분산을 감소시키는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 수익비용대응이 잘 이루어질수록 이익의 질이 개선되고 기업의 불확실성에 대한 정보위험이 감소되는 것을 의미한다. 본 연구는 높은 수익비용대응이 수행된 이익의 지속성이 정보비대칭을 감소시키는지를 분석했다는 점에서 선행연구와 차별성을 가진다. 경영자가 적절한 수익비용대응을 수행하여 정보비대칭을 감소시킨다는 본 연구의 결과는 회계이익정보를 활용하는 이해관계자들에게 추가적인 시사점을 제공할 것이다.

To many, recent allegations of earnings management at Enron, coupled with similar ones at many other corporations, are a strong indication of a serious decay in business ethics. Nevertheless, the field of Corporate Social Responsibility(CSR) has grown exponentially in the last decade. This study investigates the effects of CSR on earnings management. Different to precedent works which focus on Financial Performance, this study attempts to provide empirical evidence for relevance of CSR and Discretionary Accruals(DA). The study used variables in the sustainability report, and DA for its earning management too progress empirical analysis because it is believed that the measurement of accounting transparency is highly related to the CEO's opportunistic selection of the accounting. In terms of Sustainable management activities, Employee training time(ETT) is significantly and negatively associated with Discretionary accruals(DA). And also Industrial Accidents Ratio(IAR) is significantly and negatively associated with Discretionary accruals. Consequently, empirical results suggest that Discretionary accruals associated with the company's CSR activities, such as ETT, and IAR. In this study, there are limitation of generalizations and omitted variable problem.
