【本期主题】Job Security and Earnings Management
CEO dismissal risk may have disciplinary or opportunistic effect on earnings management. The disciplinary effect incentivizes CEOs to undertake actions to improverealperformance, which reduces the need for earnings management, especially for the need of overstating firm performance, while CEOs with opportunistic motives may choose to exaggerate earnings information. With a large sample, we show that, on average, the disciplinary effect dominates. That is, an increase of CEO dismissal hazard is associated with smaller earnings-inflating accruals and less real earnings management. The opportunistic effect is still possible but exists only when dismissal risk is very high. Our evidence suggests that the threat of forced turnover is an effective governance measure that motivates CEOs to undertake rightful actions.
