Abstract

Accounting conservatism is an important principle of enterprises’ accounting information quality. CFO has a significant impact on enterprise accounting conservatism. This paper explores the impact of CFO’s financial professional background on accounting conservatism. This paper collects the relevant data of Shanghai and Shenzhen A-share listed enterprises from 2008 to 2019, measures the accounting conservatism of the explanatory variables using the C-SCORE model, conducts multiple linear regression, and distinguishes between state-owned and non-state-owned for group regression. Thereafter distinguish state-owned enterprises and non-state-owned enterprises to carry out group regression. Then empirical conclusions are obtained: (1) CFO’s financial professional background can improve accounting conservatism; (2) compared with state-owned enterprises, the impact of CFO with financial professional background on accounting conservatism exists more in non-state-owned enterprises.
