Abstract

This study investigated the effect of accounting information on dividend policy as a measure of corporate conservatism from the perspective of the internal accounting management system. The verification is based on a sample of 543 companies listed on securities (excluding KOSDAQ and financial industry) among the Bank of Korea (2019) 「2018 Corporate Management Analysis」 and company analysis of the Korea Productivity Center (financial data disclosed as listed companies as a December settlement company) was composed. Using SPSS 22, empirical analysis was conducted using exploratory factor analysis and regression analysis. The first is the verification related to corporate conservatism and the role of dividend policy, and it is verification of whether internal accounting management influences financial decision-making. Second, if internal accounting management exists, it is a verification of how conservatism and investment policies (in-house reserve, debt borrowing, capital increase, dividends, etc.) affect the corporate value according to accounting information. As a result, from the perspective of the internal accounting management system, it was found that among the variables of accounting information, profitability can have a positive effect on corporate conservatism and dividend policy as a corporate valuation method of reinvestment. In addition, it has been proven that corporate conservatism has an effect on profitability-to-value through capital accumulation and reinvestment such as surplus and internal reserves. In the future, we will study and discuss the complementarity of corporate conservatism and dividend policy in relation to governance structure and improvement of the internal accounting management system.

본 연구는 기업보수주의 측정으로 회계정보가 배당정책에 미치는 연구를 내부회계 관리제도 관점에서 연구하였다. 검증은 한국은행 (2019) 「2018 년 기업 경영 분석』과 한국 생산성 본부의 기업분석 중 유가증권 상장기업 (코스닥, 금융업은 제외) 543개의 기업을 표본 (12월 결산 법인으로 상장기업 공개된 재무자료) 으로 구성하였다. SPSS 22을 활용하여 탐색적 요인분석과 회귀 분석으로 실증분석 하였다. 첫째는 기업 보수주의와 배당정책 역할과 관련되는 검증으로써, 내부회계 관리가 재무의사결정에 영향을 미치는지에 대한 검증이다. 둘째, 내부 회계 관리가 존재하는 경우, 보수주의와 투자정책 (사내유보, 부채차입, 자본증자, 배당 등) 이 회계정보에 따라 기업 가치에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지에 대한 검증이다. 그 결과 내부회계 관리 제도의 관점에서 회계정보의 변수중 수익성이 재투자의 기업 가치평가 방식으로 기업보수주의 와 배당정책에 긍정적인 영향을 줄 수 있음을 발견하였다. 또한 기업 보수주의가 잉여금 및 사내 적립금 등 자본 축적 재투자로 인한 수익성 대비 가치로 영향을 주는 것으로 입증되었다. 추후 내부 회계 관리제도의 취약점 개선과 지배구조의 관련성으로 기업보수주의와 배당정책의 상호보완성을 연구 논의하기로 한다.
