본 연구의 목적은 내부회계관리제도의 취약점이 회계이익과 과세소득의 차이(BTD)에 반영되는지를 살펴보고자 하는 것이다. 즉, 경영자가 기회주의적인 이익조정을 하더라도 취약한 내부통제는 이를 방지하거나 적발하지 못함으로서 결국 경영자는 재무보고이익을 증가시킬 뿐만아니라 효율적인 세무전략을 취함으로써 회계이익과 과세소득의 차이(BTD)에도 영향을 미치는 지를 살펴보고자 하는 것이다. 분석 결과, 내부회계관리제도의 중요한 취약점을 보고한 기업일수록 BTD가 큰 것으로 나타났다. 이것은 취약한 내부통제를 가진 기업일수록 경영자의 기회주의적인 회계선택에 대한 재량권이 커지게 되고 이것은 BTD에도 영향을 미쳐 결국 세무상의 이익에도 영향을 미칠 수 있다는 것을 의미한다. 결국, BTD도 재량적 발생액에 추가하여 경영자의 이익조정의 대용치로 이용될 수 있으며 나아가 세무당국의 입장에서도 취약한 내부통제에 대해 고려하여야 한다는 것을 의미할 수 있다. 결국 내부통제 실패는 투자자나 채권자뿐만 아니라 과세당국에도 영향을 미칠 수 있는 문제이며 기업의 더욱 효율적인 내부통제제도를 구축이 결국 건전한 지배구조와 직결되어 있음을 다시 한번 강조한다 할 수 있다.

We examine the effects of the complexity of tax-related information on the issuance of analyst's pre-tax income forecast and its value relevance. If analysts respond adequately to the needs of investors, they are more likely to provide a pre-tax income forecast. The provision of a pre-tax income forecast may indicate analysts' confidence in assessing the quality of earnings. Thus, investors, in turn, would be more confident in the analysts' pre-tax income forecasts if analysts provide both pre-tax and earnings forecasts than only the latter. Using a sample of Korean listed companies for 2005-2014, we find that analysts are likely to provide an implicit tax forecast when the volatility of the effective tax rate is low and the book-tax differences are small. We also find that when analysts provide pre-tax and after tax income forecasts, the value relevance for unexpected earnings increases. These results indicate that analysts are likely to be interested in corporate tax information and the complexity of tax-related information affects the availability of implicit tax forecasts. Furthermore, this study provides empirical evidence that when analysts provide both pre-tax and after tax income forecasts, investors have more confidence in analysts' earnings forecasts, which results in greater investors' responses.

Purpose: This study looks at the relevance between discretionary revenue and book-tax differences (hereafter BTDs). While the study of earnings management, which focused on discretionary accruals and real earnings management, has largely made, it has not yet been actively researched on discretionary revenues. Therefore, it was believed that discretionary revenue would expand the preceding study by looking at its relevance to BTD, known as financial reporting quality and measures of tax avoidance. In general, prior research suggested that earnings management make BTDs larger. Thus, the relationship between discretionary revenue and the amount of BTD is predicted positive. Research design, data and methodology: To this end, the method of discretionary revenues was used and BTDs measured in four ways. First, Earnings before income tax - estimated taxable income divided by total asset (BTD). Second is fractional rank variable of BTDs (FBTD). Third is Indicator variable equals 1 if the firm-year has a positive BTD, 0 otherwise (PBTD). Fourth is that Indicator variable equals 1 if the firm-year has a BTDs in top(bottom) quartile, 0 otherwise (LPBTD, LNBTD). 4,251 samples were analyzed in the Korean Security market (KOSPI) from 2003 to 2014. Results Empirical analysis shows that BTDs increases as discretionary revenue increases. These results were equally observed when BTDs was measured as a ranking variable or as a indicating variable. These results indicate that earnings management through the revenue of managers exacerbate the quality of financial reporting. Conclusions: In sum, discretionary revenues can be used as an indicator of making BTDs larger and meaningful as the first study of the Korean capital market where discretionary revenues affect accounting information quality. Investors need to increase interest in discretionary revenues because intervention in financial reporting through revenue accounts by managers can increase information asymmetry and agency costs. This means that studies on discretionary revenues that have been relatively small should be expanded. The results also provide important implications for the relevant authorities and investors. Despite these benefits, however, measurement error problems with estimates still appear as limited points, and prudent interpretations are required, and additional follow-up studies are needed in that variables that are not yet considered in this study may affect our findings.

This study aims to investigate whether and why the disclosure of full financial information to estimate taxable income (TI) is incrementally useful for investors' decision making at earnings announcements. This paper shows analytically that the information content of TI beyond book income is determined by the relative informativeness of TI exceeding that of book-tax differences (BTDs), and therefore should be affected by the earnings quality of TI relative to BTDs. This study collects data on earnings announcements from Korean listed firms and employs multiple regression tests for earnings persistence, a major indicator of earnings quality, of TI and BTDs and their information content. The empirical test results show that TI is more persistent than BTDs for the entire sample in this study. Further, the investors' reaction to TI is greater than that to BTDs, and the market response to TI controlling for BI is positive. However, the market test results are significantly observed only in the subsample group with full disclosure of financial statements, not in the samples with disclosure of aggregated earnings only. In sum, this study provides new evidence that the TI information obtained from a detailed earnings announcement is useful for investors in addition to book income.

이 연구는 조세특례제한법상 세액공제 및 세액감면 등의 직접감면과 준비금 손금산입 등의 간접감면의 세제혜택이 기업가치와 관련성이 있는지를 Ohlson(1995)모형을 토대로 1999년부터 2001년까지 3개년도 제조업을 대상으로 총 497개를 대상으로 실증분석하였다. 연구결과 주주지분 장부가치측면에서 직접 감면제도에 의한 기업합리화 적립금(누적액)과 당기전입 기업합리화적립금이 기업가치에 긍정적인 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 세제지원의 성격과 사후관리제도의 정도 및 지속성의 차이로 인하여 기업가치 관련성에 있어서 서로 차이가 있을 수 있음을 보여주는 것이라 할 수 있다. 특히, 주주지분 장부가치측면과 회계이익측면에서 각각의 감면제도가 기업가치에 미치는 정도의 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 정책당국에서 간접감면제도의 조세정책적 실효성을 재검토 할 필요성의 여지를 가질 수 있음을 보여주고 있다.
