讲座主题：Accounting Conservatism and Corporate Governance: Evidence from Leveraged Buyouts

摘要：This research investigates the influence of corporate governance mechanisms on accounting conservatism prior to leveraged buyouts (LBOs) in the UK. Managers in management leveraged buyout (MBO) firms have an incentive to try to minimise their purchase price while the target shareholders often seek to maximise their selling price. In contrast, third-party LBOs are inherently more uncertain for managers’ long-term job security, which may serve to intensify managers' incentives to engage in opportunistic activities to prevent takeovers. Using the sample of complete buyouts, we find that during the year prior to the announcement of MBOs, managers engage in more conservative accounting, where bad news is disclosed faster than good news. Additionally, this research investigates the differences between the degrees of conservatism prior to MBOs and third-party LBOs. We find that managers engage in more conservative accounting prior to MBOs than prior to third-party LBOs. The research also finds a mean-reversion of managerial behaviours toward accounting conservatism precedes both types of LBOs. In particular, managerial behaviours shifted from less to more conservative prior to MBOs, but from more to less conservative preceding third-party LBOs. Moreover, this research suggests that the ownership characteristics and board characteristics have greater impacts on accounting conservatism in third-party LBO firms than in MBO ones.
