法人說明會是公司用來面對面與投資者互動的媒介。公司藉法人說明會來降低與投資者之間的資訊不對稱、表達企業之真實價值,對於報表使用者而言,更有利於其進行投資決策。本研究主要以Basu(1997)的盈餘對好消息不對稱反應及Bever and Ryan(2000)的市場基礎模型,針對2009年至2013年台灣資本市場的企業,衡量其召開法人說明會與否以及召開次數對會計保守性的影響。
;The investor conference is a medium that firms face to face communicate to investors, so that to reduce the information asymmetry , express the real value of the enterprise and assist financial statements users to make investment decisions. The main purpose of this research is following the regression model by Basu (1997)-“The measure of asymmetric timeliness in earnings.” and Beaver and Ryan (2000)-“The market value based measure of conservatism.” to study the impact to hold and the numbers of investor conference effect the relationship of conservatism in the Taiwan capital market firms, from 2009 to 2013.
The empirical results are that firms hold the investor conference are more conservative compared with firms without holding investor conference. That is consistent with the prediction,and we deduce firms hold investor conference tend to adopt more conservative accounting ,because of more in-depth review into financial information from investors. The numbers of investor conference are positive correlation with conservatism. We find that to hold and number of conference calls would positively effect on the relationship of conservatism.
