Abstract

This paper investigates whether the value relevance of unbilled revenue in the construction company is differentiated according to the degree of company's operational efficiency. Unbilled revenue is an item that appears in the assets of the statement of financial position based on the IFRS. It is an item that has a nature of accounts receivable, but it is calculated based on subjective judgment of management. In this paper, we hypothesized that the value relevance of unbilled revenue will be differentiated according to operational efficiency of the construction company. The results of hypothesis test are as follows. First, unbilled revenue has a significant relationship with firm's value, which is consistent with previous research results. Second, the value relevance of unbilled revenue is higher in companies with high operational efficiency. In conclusion, this paper is different from previous researches in that this paper presents not only that unbilled revenue has a value relevance but also provides evidence that it can be differentiated according to the degree of operational efficiency.

본 논문은 건설기업 미청구공사 정보의 가치관련성이 해당 건설기업의 효율성 정도에 따라 차별화되는지에 대하여 연구하였다. 미청구공사는 국내 건설기업의 IFRS 도입에 따라 재무상태표의 자산에 표시되는 계정으로서 매출채권적인 성격을 가지는 항목이기는 하지만 추정된 진행률에 연동되어 계산된다는 점 등에서 그 자산성에 의심이 가는 항목이다. 본 논문에서는 미청구공사의 가치관련성이 해당 건설기업의 경영효율성에 따라 차별화된다는 가설을 설정하고 이를 검정하였으며, 검정결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 미청구공사는 기업가치와 유의적인 관계가 있는 것으로 나타나 기존 선행연구의 결과들과 일관된 모습을 보였다. 둘째, 미청구공사의 가치관련성은 경영효율성의 정도가 높은 기업에서 더욱 높게 나타나는 것으로 확인되었다. 결국 이 논문은 미청구공사가 단순히 가치관련성을 가진다는 점뿐만 아니라 기업의 효율적 운영정도에 따라 차별화 될 수 있다는 것에 대한 증거를 함께 제시하였다는 점에서 선행연구와 차별화된 연구라고 할 수 있다.
