본 연구에서는 기업 내부통제의 중요성을 토대로 내부통제 품질과 이익조정과의 상관관계 분석을 바탕으로 내부통제 품질과 실제 이익 관리와 이익조정과의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 본 연구을 위해 내부통제 및 이익조정의 개념, 분류, 측정 방법 및 모델을 도입하여 본 논문의 연구가설을 제안하였다. 연구분석에서는 관련 측정 모델을 사용하여 기업의 실제 이익관리 수준과 이익조정 관리 수준을 설명 변수로 투입하여 회귀 모델을 설정하고 분석을 진행하였다. 연구결과, 실증 기업의 내부통제 품질, 실질적인 이익과 이익조정 간에는 통계적으로 유의미한 음의 상관관계가 있음을 확인하였으며, 실증 연구를 통해 최종 결과와 결론을 도출할 수 있었다. 이러한 연구결과는, 향후 내부통제 이론의 발전과 더불어 경영자의 이익조정 행동에 대한 관리 및 통제를 위한 기초적 가이드라인을 제공할 수 있을 것이다.
