기업의 사회적 책임과 내부 경영 활동 관계에 관한 연구

To many, recent allegations of earnings management at Enron, coupled with similar ones at many other corporations, are a strong indication of a serious decay in business ethics. Nevertheless, the field of Corporate Social Responsibility(CSR) has grown exponentially in the last decade. This study investigates the effects of CSR on earnings management. Different to precedent works which focus on Financial Performance, this study attempts to provide empirical evidence for relevance of CSR and Discretionary Accruals(DA). The study used variables in the sustainability report, and DA for its earning management too progress empirical analysis because it is believed that the measurement of accounting transparency is highly related to the CEO's opportunistic selection of the accounting. In terms of Sustainable management activities, Employee training time(ETT) is significantly and negatively associated with Discretionary accruals(DA). And also Industrial Accidents Ratio(IAR) is significantly and negatively associated with Discretionary accruals. Consequently, empirical results suggest that Discretionary accruals associated with the company's CSR activities, such as ETT, and IAR. In this study, there are limitation of generalizations and omitted variable problem.
