Abstract

This study analyzed and verified panel data based on CSMAR (China Stock Market & Accounting Research) DB from 2002 to 2014 in order to find out significant differences of conservative accounting before and after Chinese companies adopted international accounting standards. Financial changes in companies can occur at the point of change in accounting standards, and as the difference would affect conservative accounting, it is important to understand conservatism in financial transaction. In this study, earnings per share and price, return on equity, and debt ratio were measured. As a result of analysis, conservative accounting has increased after the introduction of accounting standards, and as the debt ratio was higher, the proportion of conservative accounting was higher. Thus, at a certain point of change in accounting standards, companies apply conservative accounting in order to improve reliability in an unstable future financial environment. Therefore, this study is expected not only to practically influence business practice in changes in GAAP rules but also to provide useful guidance for future studies.

본 연구는 중국의 국제회계기준의 채택시점을 중심으로 이전과 이후에 나타나는 보수적 회계처리의 차이점을 확인하기 위해 CSMAR(China Stock Market & Accounting Research)DB를 토대로 2002년부터 2014년까지의 패널 자료를 통해 유의적 차이점을 분석 검증하였다. 기업의 재무적 변화는 일반적으로 회계준칙의 변화 시점에서 차이가 나타날 수 있으며, 이러한 차이는 보수적 회계처리에 영향을 미칠 줄 수 있기 때문에 보수주의를 이해하는 것은 금융거래에 있어서 매우 유의미한 과정으로 볼 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 주당순이익 및 가격, 주식수익률, 부채비율을 통해 보수성을 측정하였다. 분석결과 보수적 회계처리는 기업회계기준의 도입 이후에 보다 높게 나타났으며, 부채비율이 높을수록 보수적 회계처리 비율이 높은 것으로 분석 되었다. 따라서 특정한 회계기준의 변화 시점에서 기업은 미래금융환경에 대한 불확실성이 증가되거나 신뢰성을 증가시키기 위해 보수적 회계처리를 유인하는 것으로 분석 될 수 있었다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 회계기준과 준칙 등의 변화에 의한 실무적인 영향뿐만 아니라 향후 유사 연구에 유용한 지침을 제공 할 수 있을 것으로 기대 된다.
