Abstract

This study conducted an empirical analysis of SSE-listed companies to verify the effects of evaluation and disclosure of internal control systems on the agency costs management and controlling shareholders. Agency costs can affect the valuation of accounting information as asymmetry of information in the relationship between a company and its stakeholders, or induce financial costs as an adverse selection. If the firm's agency costs are reasonable, the valuation of the company can also move in a relatively positive direction. In this study, the evaluation information of the internal control system was analyzed through sales management ratio and equity ratio as substitute variables to analyze the relationship between management and agent costs of the controlling shareholders. In addition, independent control ratio, capital balance ratio, and company scale were used as control variables, as a result of the analysis, the evaluation information of internal control was found to be related to the agency costs of managers and governance structure. This study can be conducted to positive factors in evaluating the reliability and corporate value of accounting information according to the evaluation of internal control of SSE-listed companies and helps to understand the financial reporting environment.

본 연구는 내부통제시스템의 평가 및 공개가 기업의 경영자와 지배주주의 대리인 비용에 미치는 영향을 검증하기 위해 SSE상장기업을 대상으로 실증 분석하였다. 대리인 비용은 기업과 이해관계자와의 관계에서 정보의 비대칭으로 나타나는 회계정보의 가치평가에 영향을 주거나, 역 선택으로 나타나는 금융비용을 유발 할 수 있다. 그러므로 대리인 비용은 기업의 가치평가와 회계정보의 신뢰성에 부정적인 요인으로 작용될 수 있다. 따라서 정보비대칭을 감소시키려는 제도와 노력은 대리인 비용을 줄일 수 있다고 볼 수 있다. 기업의 대리인 비용이 적정한 경우 기업의 가치 평가도 상대적으로 양의 방향으로 움직일 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 내부통제시스템의 평가정보가 각각 경영자와 지배주주와의 대리인 비용과의 관계를 분석하기 위해 대용변수로 판매관리비비율과 지분비율을 통해 분석하였다. 또한 통제변수로 독립이사비율, 자본균형 비율, 기업규모 등을 투입하였으며, 분석결과 내부통제의 평가정보는 경영자 및 지배구조에 따른 대리인 비용에 관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 SSE상장기업의 내부통제의 평가에 따라 회계정보의 신뢰성 및 기업 가치 평가에 긍정적인 요인으로 작용될 수 있고 향후 관련기업의 회계정보 보고의 절차와 기업의 재무적 환경을 이해하는데 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다.
