Prior to the 2000s, internal control had not been among the high priority issues in the management's agenda. Since then, however, it has become one of the hottest issues, and has received a significant attention as the means of improving the transparency, sustainability, and competitiveness of a company. The objectives of this paper are to examine if there has been any noticeable changes in the level of internal controls of Korean companies before and after the 2010, and to analyze the underlying drivers and issues thereto. Accounting manipulation and moral hazard were among the factors to cause the Korean financial crisis in 1997 and 2008. Since then, the capital market has had a strong pressure on Korean companies to enhance the transparency of management and accounting while the government has made the laws, requirements, and recommendations to alleviate the moral hazard problems of management and enhance the accounting transparency. Both market and government have driven companies to put more priority on the reliability of financial reporting and the compliance of applicable laws and regulations. Thereby, the market and governmental forces has led companies to enhance the level of internal controls which contribute to the reliability of financial reporting and the compliance The pressure on companies to enhance the level of internal controls may be different across industries. The capital market and government experiencing the severe financial crisis in 1997 and 2008 put even more pressure on financial companies such as banks to upgrade the reliability of financial reporting and the compliance of regulations to the global level than on non-financial companies. A survey is performed on the changes in the level of internal controls of 54 major companies consisting of 10 financial and 44 non-financial companies in Korea. The survey results show that the average level of internal controls of Korean companies has noticeably improved and that the change in the level of control environment factor is higher than that of IT control factor. The analysis on the industry differences shows that financial companies increased the level of control environment factor more than non-financial companies did while non-financial companies upgraded the level of IT control factor more than financial companies did relatively. Among internal control categories, the most improved area since the economic crisis is "Risk Assessment." The global best practices for risk management have been developed primarily in the financial industry and then spread to other industries. The general level of control practices of Korean companies has been improving significantly, but still appears below the global advanced practices.

Purpose - This study examines whether internal control has an effect on stock price informativeness about future earnings. High quality internal control provides continuous assurance for the quality of financial reports, and these future earnings-related information is accurately reflected in the current stock price. Design/methodology/approach - This study collected 12,862 data from 2006 to 2021 in China to make an empirical analysis using the future earnings response coefficient (FERC) and the multiple regression analysis were hired in order to analyze the data. Findings - We find that internal control strengthens the association between current returns and future earnings, indicating that more information about future earnings is reflected in current stock prices. This positive effect exists in both the main board market and the growth enterprise market of China's stock market, especially in the main board market after the implementation of the internal control policy. In addition, we find that the positive effect is weaker for firms that report internal control deficiencies or receives non unqualified internal control audit opinions. The results using earnings persistence yield similar findings, further supporting the results based on the FERC model. Research Implications or Originality - Our tests provide strong evidence that the quality of internal control affects FERC in China stock market.

To many, recent allegations of earnings management at Enron, coupled with similar ones at many other corporations, are a strong indication of a serious decay in business ethics. Nevertheless, the field of Corporate Social Responsibility(CSR) has grown exponentially in the last decade. This study investigates the effects of CSR on earnings management. Different to precedent works which focus on Financial Performance, this study attempts to provide empirical evidence for relevance of CSR and Discretionary Accruals(DA). The study used variables in the sustainability report, and DA for its earning management too progress empirical analysis because it is believed that the measurement of accounting transparency is highly related to the CEO's opportunistic selection of the accounting. In terms of Sustainable management activities, Employee training time(ETT) is significantly and negatively associated with Discretionary accruals(DA). And also Industrial Accidents Ratio(IAR) is significantly and negatively associated with Discretionary accruals. Consequently, empirical results suggest that Discretionary accruals associated with the company's CSR activities, such as ETT, and IAR. In this study, there are limitation of generalizations and omitted variable problem.

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.

Good Corporate Governance (GCG) has been implemented by companies, especially companies that have gone public. However, many local companies still have not applied the principles of GCG. This study examines the implementation of the CG concept which is not fully implemented in family businesses in Indonesia. Besides, this research also aims to find out the role of the Internal Audit function in enhancing GCG practices. This research is a qualitative study that uses in-depth interviews, observation, and data triangulation, to gather evidence from exploratory case studies conducted in three family business firms. The results of this study found that CG is essential for the successful run of family businesses. After analyzing the data, we developed a new theory called Islamic Integrity Governance. The Internal Auditor plays a key role in improving GCG and a vibrant and agile internal audit function can be an indispensable resource supporting sound corporate governance. The internal auditor provides objective assurance and insight on the effectiveness and efficiency of risk management, internal control, and governance processes. Therefore, the Internal Auditor is an important pillar for effective and efficient GCG implementation. This theory concludes several concepts such as THTCL (Trustworthy, Honest, Transparent, Creative, Loyal). Internal auditors are needed because the concept of control is useful for improving GCG in business.

Purpose - The present study examined the reliability of accounting information based on the pay slice (CPS) information of chief executive officers (CEOs) in the service industry. The difference in the size of CPS under the capitalist system can be used as an index to gauge the influence of top management. Research design, data, and methodology - In accordance with the amendment of the Financial Investment Services and Capital Market Act in 2013, the pay information of individual registered executives with annual salary of more than 500 million won has been disclosed. The sample of the current study is 232 companies listed on the Korea Exchange excluding financial services from 2013 to 2015, when the individual pay-slice information for registration officers was published in the business report in accordance with the revision of the Capital Market Act. The financial data required for this study were extracted from the FnGuide and the TS-2000. With the data, we tested the relationship between CPS and accounting information reliability through a linear regression analysis. Results - The first result showed that the relationship between the CPS and human resource in internal accounting control system in the service industry is significantly negative only with the accounting department personnel. This result implied that the CEO can negatively affect the retention of the accounting department in the firm. Second, both the CPS and quality of audit in the service industry are negatively related both to audit fees and to audit time. Nonetheless, the relationship between the number of the auditor and the CPS is insignificant. This result indicated that the CEO can negatively affect audit fees and audit time of external auditors. The results of the present study suggested that CPS information may have a negative impact on the reliability of accounting information. Conclusion - This study is the first study to examine the reliability of CPS and accounting information for the service industry in terms of human resources in internal accounting control system and audit quality. Therefore, the present study is expected to provide some useful information to economic decision-making of various external parties for service firms.

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.
