초록

본 연구의 목적은 기업의 이사가 여러 기업의 이사직을 겸임할 때 내부회계관리제도(IACS)의 품질에 미치는 영향을 확인하는 것이다. 분석을 위해 2014-2019년까지 금융업을 제외한 9,343개의 KOSPI&KOSDAQ기업-연도자료를 활용하였다. 분석결과, 기업 내 이사가 다른 기업의 이사직을 많이 겸임할수록 IACS의 품질은 낮아지는 것으로 확인되었다. 또한 이사회를 구성하는 사내이사와 사외이사는 역할차이가 존재함에도 불구하고, 겸임하는 사내이사와 사외이사가 많을수록 IACS의 품질은 동일하게 낮아지는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 비즈니스 가설에 의해 이사직 겸임으로 더욱 바빠진 이사가 그들의 업무에 충분한 노력을 투입하지 않아 기업 내 대리문제가 발생하여 나타난 결과라고 할 수 있다. 이러한 결과는 기업지배구조의 효율성을 평가함에 있어 겸임이사에 관한 정보가 이사회의 특성을 반영하는 새로운 지표가 될 수 있음을 시사한다.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of concurrent appointment as a director on the quality of the internal accounting management system (IACS). For analysis, 9,343 KOSPI & KOSDAQ company-year data from 2014-2019, excluding the financial industry, were used. As a result of the analysis, it was confirmed that the quality of IACS decreased as the number of multiple positions in the director increased. Although there is a difference in the roles of inside and outside directors, it was found that the quality of IACS decreases equally as the number of board members. According to the business hypothesis, this can be said to be the result of the agency problem within the company because directors, who were more busy with concurrent positions as directors, did not put sufficient effort into their work. This study suggests that information on the concurrent position of directors can be a new indicator that reflects the characteristics of the board in evaluating the effectiveness of corporate governance.
