报告摘要:

Investors encounter integration costs which prevent them from processing accounting information effectively for investment decisions. This paper provides the first direct empirical evidence on whether accounting quality affects investors’ efforts and hence the costs in integrating financial information. The study is conducted in a unique research setting utilising Chinese online interactive investor platforms where investors post questions for listed firms to respond. This allows the direct observation of integration efforts, as reflected in the number of accounting-related questions, when investors try to make sense of firms’ released financial information. We find that investors ask more accounting questions following the release of financial reports with lower accounting quality. The results hold in various robustness analyses. Findings from this research highlight the importance of accounting quality in facilitating the information integration process of investors, which is theoretically distinct from information awareness and acquisition.
