标题：社会压力与监管力量对公司主动重述不法收入的影响 摘 要 研究内容：Investigating the effects of social and regulatory forces on a firm’s decision to disclose past wrongdoing by restating its earnings. 研究结果：Firms are more likely to voluntarily restate their earnings in response to informal social pressures from other firms in their industry and less likely to do so in response to formal regulatory sanctions. 研究目的：Examines the effectiveness of “hard” versus “soft” deterrence measures on firm compliance for corporate governance and public policy research. 前 言 社会背景：The corporate governance problems of earnings manipulation and accounting fraud appear common among U.S. firms. 背景分析：The governance problems of earnings manipulation and accounting fraud are addressed by both formal and informal external forces.
