董事会秘书(下文简称为董秘)作为连接上市公司与外部利益相关者的沟通桥梁,信息披露和投资者关系管理是董秘重要的职能,根据高阶理论,董秘职责的履行会受到其背景特征的影响。鉴于财务重述作为公司修正前期财务报告的过程,具有严重的负面经济后果,本文考察了拥有媒体从业背景的董秘是否可以减少企业的财务重述行为。研究发现,当公司的董秘拥有媒体从业背景时,公司的财务重述行为显著更少。在一系列稳健检验和考虑内生性的影响之后,上述发现仍然成立。进一步研究发现,媒体背景董秘增加新闻媒体对公司的报道及提高管理层自愿性信息披露准确性是两个可能的影响渠道。最后,资本市场利益相关者对此做出了积极的反应,具体地,媒体背景的董秘其所属公司的估值更高,股权和债权融资成本更低。研究表明,媒体行业所特有的职业特点会促使媒体人在担任公司董秘时依然遵从独立公正的操守,在信息披露中发挥重要作用。
媒体背景董秘有助于减少财务重述吗?
