讲座内容摘要:
We investigate whether the SEC the review process is affected by the political relations between the United States and other countries. Based on a sample of 5,798 firm-year observations from 31 countries over the period 2005-2019, we find that the SEC are more (less) likely to issue comment letters to cross-listed issuers originating in countries with weak (strong) political affinity with the U.S.A. Importantly, those firms from countries with low political affinity with the U.S.A and targeted by the SEC do not exhibit a higher probability of restatement in the following years. However, the firms from countries with high political affinity with the U.S.A and do not receive SEC comment letters are more likely to restate in the next year. Further tests show that such review preference by the SEC is moderated by the home countries’ legal system, the type of political parties of the US government, auditor type and the trade dependence between the home country and the U.S.A.
我们调查美国证券交易委员会的审查过程是否受到美国与其他国家之间政治关系的影响。根据2005-2019年期间来自31个国家的5798份公司年度观察样本,我们发现美国证券交易委员会更有可能(更少)向来自与美国关系较弱(较强)的国家的发放问询函。然而,他国与美国关系密切且未收到美国证监会问询函的公司更有可能在明年进行财务报表重述。进一步的测试表明,美国证监会的这种审查偏好受到他国法律制度、美国政府政党类型、审计师类型以及他国与美国之间的贸易依赖性的影响。
