Full textIncludes bibliographical references.
This thesis contains two chapters. Chapter One provides definitive evidence about the effect of discretionary current accruals on the pricing of IPOs. Specifically, I seek to discriminate between two alternative explanations for the prior findings: 1) behavioral biases coupled with limited arbitrage; and 2) the sample- and period-specific nature of the results in the prior literature. Using hand-gathered accrual data for all IPOs from 1926 to 1961 and machine-readable accrual data for all IPOs from 1962 to 1998, I obtain the following results. First, I fail to observe a negative association between discretionary current accruals and subsequent price performance for the 1926 to 1971 period. Second, my analysis reveals that the pattern of cross-sectional evidence is inconsistent with the predictions made by behavioral theories. Third, in the 1972 to 1998 period, evidence of predictable negative performance attributable to IPO discretionary current accruals is limited to NASDAQ firms. Overall, these findings are difficult to reconcile with mispricing as an outcome of investor behavioral biases correlated across individuals. Chapter Two examines how financial statement informativeness, analyst following, and company news relate to the information asymmetry between insiders and outsiders. Corporations' timely disclosures of value relevant information and information collection by outsiders reduce information asymmetry, limiting insiders' ability to trade profitably on private information. We use the profitability and intensity of insider trades to proxy for information asymmetry. We find that increased analyst following is associated with reduced profitability of insider trades and reduced insider purchases. Financial statement
(cont.) informativeness is negatively associated with the frequency of insider purchases. However, company news, good or bad, is positively associated with insider purchase frequency.

A presente pesquisa busca investigar se a auditoria externa (independente) minimiza a propensão à manipulação das informações contábeis - MIC (medidas pelas acumulações discricionárias correntes) por parte das operadoras de plano privado de assistência à saúde, no que tange às informações econômico-financeiras divulgadas à Agência Nacional de Saúde Suplementar. Após revisão bibliográfica sobre qualidade da informação contábil, auditoria e mercado de saúde suplementar, promoveu-se uma pesquisa empírica com informações prestadas à ANS pelas OPS relativas ao período de 2004 a 2006. Para verificar se há diferença significativa no nível de acumulações discricionárias correntes, medidas pelo modelo AWCA e Jones Modificado (1995), entre as informações auditadas (quarto trimestre de cada ano) e as informações nãoauditadas (três primeiros trimestres de cada ano) para as mesmas empresas foi aplicado o teste não-paramétrico de Mann-Whitney. Os resultados indicam que não existem diferenças estatísticas significativas na propensão à manipulação entre as informações contábeis auditadas e não-auditadas, pelo menos no que tange às informações de 2004 a 2006 prestadas pelas OPS à ANS. Adicionalmente, também foram testadas as influências do tipo de modalidade, porte da firma e situação apresentada do patrimônio líquido sobre as acumulações discricionárias correntes. Observou-se que essas três variáveis influenciam em maior ou menor grau na manipulação da informação contábil gerada pelas OPS à ANS. Neste contexto, as seguintes características sobre a maior propensão a MIC foram diagnosticadas: Cooperativa Odontológica e a Medicina de Grupo (Modalidade); Pequeno (Porte da Firma); e Passivo a Descoberto ou PL Próximo de Zero (Situação do Patrimônio Líquido). Ao passo que as características relacionadas à menor propensão de MIC foram: Cooperativa Médica e Filantropia (Modalidade); Médio e Grande (Porte da Firma); Patrimônio Líquido Favorável (Situação do Patrimônio Líquido).
This research aims to investigate whether the external (independent) audit minimizes the propensity for manipulation of accounting information (measured by discretionary current accruals) by health maintenance organizations (OPS), in regard to financial information disclosed to the Brazilian Health Care Agency (ANS). Based on a literature review of external audit, manipulation of accounting information and health care industry we developed an empirical research to information provided by OPS to the ANS for the period 2004 to 2006. To test for significant differences in the level of discretionary current accruals, measured by AWCA model and modified Jones (1995), we compared the quality of audited information (fourth quarter of each year) with the quality of non-audited information (the first three quarters of each year) from the same companies. This difference was investigated by the nonparametric Mann-Whitney test. The results indicate that there are no statistically significant differences in the propensity to manipulation of accounting information between audited and non-audited financial reports, at least in relation to information from 2004 to 2006 provided by OPS to the ANS. In addition, there were also tested the influence of type of procedure, size of firm and the situation presented in shareholders' equity on the discretionary current accruals. It was observed that these three variables influence a greater or lesser degree in the manipulation of accounting information generated by the OPS to the ANS. In this context, the following features on the more likely the MIC were diagnosed: Cooperative Dental and Medical Group (Type of Procedure); Small (Size of Firm); and Negative Equity or close to zero (Situation Presented in Shareholders’ Equity). On the other hand, the main features that are less likely to MIC were: Cooperative Medical and Philanthropy (Type of Procedure); Medium and large (Size of Firm); and Equity Favorable (Situation Presented in Shareholders’ equity).

Full textEmployee Share Ownership (ESO) refers to a compensation practice through which an employee’s wealth is directly tied to their companies’. It provides their representation in the board of directors and has several effects on the individual, corporate and macroeconomic levels. This doctoral thesis discusses the effects of employee ownership on accounting and audit practices in France, the country that has the most developed ESO in Europe. The first chapter provides a general introduction to ESO schemes and other shared capitalism arrangements in France and in the world. The second chapter focuses on agency costs and audit fees, and finds a negative U-shaped relationship between ESO and both variables. It indicates that ESO aligns the interests of employees with those of shareholders, but also acts as a managerial entrenchment mechanism. The third chapter finds that ESO reassures the company’s stakeholders about the auditor’s independence and allows managers to benefit from their auditor’s joint-engagement benefits by purchasing more non-audit services. The fourth chapter studies earnings management through discretionary accruals and reveals that earnings management in France is rather used opportunistically by managers. It also finds that ESO helps decreasing the manipulation of earnings and reduces the opportunism of the discretionary accruals. The final chapter summarizes the thesis’ results and presents its contributions and limitations. This doctorate dissertation contributes to research on corporate governance by studying ESO’s effect on agency costs from several perspectives

Discretionary accruals play an important role in determining the behavior of reported earnings. Since discretionary accruals are subject to management’s manipulation, past researches focused on the role of discretionary accruals in contracting and income smoothing. The current study extends Subramanyam(1996)and classifies discretionary accruals into those for the purposes of signaling and for the purposes of smoothing income. The results indicate that the Taiwan capital market responds to discretional accruals that are hypothesized for the purposes of signaling stronger than those for the purposes of smoothing income. Although the associations between discretionary accruals and future performance indicators are positive, the relationship between discretionary accruals that are hypothesized for the purposes of signaling and future performance indicators is weaker than that between discretionary accruals that are hypothesized for the purposes of smoothing income and future performance indicators.
