我國上市公司會計信息披露問題與對策的研究
和進
(中國中信集團成都610041)
摘要:隨著我國證券市場的不斷發(fā)展,上市公司披露信息的質(zhì)量已成為證券市場健康發(fā)展的生命線,關(guān)系著社會、企業(yè)、投資者其他利害關(guān)系人的利益。然而受宏觀和微觀層面多種因素的影響,我國上市公司會計信息披露暴露出諸多問題。本文在深刻剖析我國上市公司會計信息披露存在問題的原因基礎(chǔ)上,提出提高上市公司會計信息披露質(zhì)量的對策,進而促進我國證券市場健康有效的運行和發(fā)展。
關(guān)鍵字:上市公司會計信息披露問題原因?qū)Σ?/p>
上市公司會計信息披露質(zhì)量的高低是檢驗一國證券市場是否成熟的試金石,是實現(xiàn)證券市場“三公”原則的基礎(chǔ)和維護證券投資者利益的基本保證。上市公司會計信息披露存在的問題會導(dǎo)致投資者參與證券市場的積極性下降、資源配置效率降低等嚴重后果,所以解決上市公司信息披露問題,有利于保障證券市場穩(wěn)步、健康、快速、高效發(fā)展。
一、上市公司會計信息披露存在的問題
1、會計信息披露不真實。會計信息披露含有虛假記載或誤導(dǎo)性陳述是中國上市公司信息披露中最嚴重、危害最大的問題,由此導(dǎo)致的證券市場信息不對稱加大了市場風(fēng)險,引發(fā)了供需雙方大量的非理性投機行為,損害了投資者的利益。
2、會計信息披露不充分。目前,大多數(shù)上市公司為了實現(xiàn)自身利益最大化,常常報喜不報憂,誤導(dǎo)投資者,主要表現(xiàn)在對一些重要事項、資金投向、利潤構(gòu)成以及關(guān)聯(lián)交易披露不夠充分、對財務(wù)指標提示不夠充分或者借保護商業(yè)秘密為由,故意隱瞞企業(yè)重要會計信息。
3、會計信息披露不及時。目前,我國的上市公司基本上能及時披露業(yè)績報告,但是對可能導(dǎo)致股價下跌的重大事件往往披露不及時,大大降低了會計信息的時效性和相關(guān)性,為內(nèi)幕交易、牟取暴利、操縱市場創(chuàng)造了條件。
4、會計信息披露不主動。我國的會計信息披露處于強制狀態(tài),不少上市公司把會計信息披露看作是額外的負擔(dān),而不是一種應(yīng)該承擔(dān)的義務(wù)和股東應(yīng)該獲得的權(quán)利。面對負面信息,上市公司對會計信息披露往往采取一種回避的態(tài)度。
二、上市公司會計信息披露存在問題的原因
1、宏觀方面
(1)法律法規(guī)不健全。會計信息披露規(guī)范體系主要由《證券法》、《公司法》、《企業(yè)會計準則》等法律法規(guī)及相關(guān)規(guī)定構(gòu)成。盡管這些法律對上市公司會計信息披露作了相應(yīng)規(guī)定,但實踐操作中存在困難,使得上市公司在信息披露時有空可鉆。
(2)監(jiān)管不力。我國政府部門監(jiān)管體系不健全,相關(guān)部門權(quán)責(zé)界定不清,對二級市場的監(jiān)督力度不大,而且一些監(jiān)管人員專業(yè)勝任能力不足。另外,證券公司、會計師事務(wù)所及律師事務(wù)所等中介機構(gòu)受畸形的委托代理關(guān)系影響,缺乏獨立性,往往無法客觀地評價上市公司會計信息。
(3)違規(guī)成本低。上市公司披露的會計信息中有瑕疵的占比非常大,被揭露的概率卻非常小。加之,上市公司造假所付出的代價遠遠小于因失信而得到的收益,一些公司不惜通過隱藏或歪曲某些會計信息來形成對自己有利的局面。
2、微觀方面
(1)公司利益驅(qū)動。公司利益驅(qū)動是導(dǎo)致上市公司信息披露存瑕疵的根本原因。一些公司為了維護自己的經(jīng)濟利益、達到配股要求等謊報公司業(yè)績、操縱利潤。還有的為了免于被處罰或為大股東和高管謀取利益粉飾報表、延遲披露信息或披露錯誤信息。
(2)公司內(nèi)部治理結(jié)構(gòu)不完善。我國上市公司中國有股和法人股占比比較大,流通股比較少,股份相對集中,形成普遍的“一股獨大”現(xiàn)象,難以對公司的管理進行控制和約束。部分上市公司缺乏內(nèi)部審計或者內(nèi)部審計被弱化,也導(dǎo)致公司財務(wù)管理出現(xiàn)混亂,財會信息失去真實性。
(3)投資者能力有限。我國證券市場投資者以散戶為主,一方面絕大多數(shù)投資者缺乏基本的投資技巧和信息甄別能力,另一方面大多數(shù)投資者沒有樹立正確的投資理念,盲目投資、甚至投機。此外,對于多數(shù)投資者來說,獲取上市公司有價值信息的成本也非常高。
三、防范信息披露瑕疵的對策
1、完善法律法規(guī)體系。相關(guān)部門要完善法律法規(guī)中的盲點,建立起一個相對完善的制度體系,并且增強有關(guān)會計信息披露法律法規(guī)的可操作性。此外,為了保障投資者權(quán)益,應(yīng)盡快出臺相關(guān)的民事責(zé)任賠償法,通過立法和司法解釋的手段來細化證券違法行為的民事責(zé)任。
2、完善信息披露的監(jiān)管體系。我國應(yīng)將政府監(jiān)管、行業(yè)監(jiān)管和市場監(jiān)管進行有機結(jié)合。政府部門要合理分工,明確職責(zé),提高執(zhí)法者素質(zhì)。證券公司、會計師事務(wù)所等中介機構(gòu)要保持獨立性,客觀真實的評價上市公司會計信息。社會各界也應(yīng)積極主動地發(fā)揮監(jiān)管職能,加強對上市公司會計信息披露的監(jiān)管。
3、完善上市公司內(nèi)部治理結(jié)構(gòu)。上市公司要確立董事會的核心地位,規(guī)范和完善董事會的運作,優(yōu)化董事會的結(jié)構(gòu)和功能,并且強化監(jiān)事會的作用,保證其獨立。上市公司還要完善經(jīng)理人市場,利用經(jīng)理人市場的競爭機制促使企業(yè)經(jīng)營者從長遠利益出發(fā)。此外,建立對管理層的激勵與約束機制也對完善上市公司內(nèi)部治理結(jié)構(gòu)有重要意義。
4、加大處罰力度。有關(guān)部門要嚴厲懲罰提供虛假會計信息、故意隱瞞或歪曲重要信息的上市公司,以及與這些上市公司合謀或無法公正履行職責(zé)的會計中介機構(gòu),還要構(gòu)建有效的市場退出機制,當上市公司的造假行為被揭發(fā)后,應(yīng)該把相關(guān)的肇事者驅(qū)逐出其所處的行業(yè)。
四、結(jié)語
上市公司信息披露是證券市場永恒的話題, 是證券市場賴以生存和發(fā)展的基石。建立高質(zhì)量,高透明度和具有可比性的會計信息披露體系,既要完善法律法規(guī)、加強監(jiān)管,還要完善公司內(nèi)部治理、加大懲罰力度,只有這樣,證券市場才能得到健康發(fā)展。

一、上市公司信息披露中存在的主要問題
1.信息披露內(nèi)容不真實
這是目前我國上市公司信息披露中最嚴重、危害最大的問題。主要表現(xiàn)在:
⑴招股說明書過度包裝造成盈利預(yù)測偏差嚴重。如1997年在全國國有企業(yè)凈資產(chǎn)收益率平均不足 7% 的情況下,新上市公司的招股說明書披露的前三年資產(chǎn)收益率普遍達到40% 以上,有的公司竟然達到100%,很顯然新上市公司的凈資產(chǎn)收益率中有不少水分。
⑵模糊收入概念,人為操縱利潤。有的公司將含稅收入放入會計報表對外報出,導(dǎo)致對外報出利潤與真實利潤相差甚遠;有的公司根據(jù)使用對象來公布收入。如青島雙星旗下的華青輪胎2002年經(jīng)營數(shù)據(jù)有四個版本,真假難辯。
⑶偽造資產(chǎn)、虛構(gòu)利潤,以達到吸引投資者的目的。如國內(nèi) 銀廣夏”、“東方電子”、“藍天股份”的造假事件使得會計報表不再是公司經(jīng)營狀況的成績單,而是一小撮人在那里玩的“數(shù)字游戲”。
2.上市公司信息披露不充分、不完整。
根據(jù)規(guī)定,上市公司重大信息均應(yīng)在財務(wù)報表附注中予以說明,要求做到內(nèi)容充分、完整。但在實際操作過程中存在以下問題:第一,披露有關(guān)信息時措辭含糊模棱兩可。第二,規(guī)避不利事實,對有利于本公司的信息過分披露。第三,分部信息的披露不充分。
3.上市公司信息披露缺乏時效性。
任何一家公司的生產(chǎn)經(jīng)營活動都是連續(xù)的,因而有關(guān)公司的信息的產(chǎn)生也是連續(xù)的。由于受到技術(shù)手段、信息生產(chǎn)成本、傳遞成本的限制,上市公司信息的披露只能是間斷的,呈現(xiàn)周期性。另一方面,根據(jù)有關(guān)規(guī)定,當發(fā)生可能對股票價格產(chǎn)生重大影響,而投資者尚未得知的重大事件時,應(yīng)立即編制重大事件公告及時向社會披露。但仍有一些公司違反這一規(guī)定,不按法定時間正式披露會計信息。

4.信息披露具有隨意性
作為公眾公司,上市公司的信息披露本應(yīng)慎之又慎,但一些上市公司卻不顧損害公司形象,披露信息時極為隨意。有的上市公司在公布定期報告時不嚴肅,公布之后不斷地打“補丁”。2005年就有百余家公司就各自的中報發(fā)布了補充報告,個別公司的 補丁”使公司的盈利出現(xiàn)“縮水”,甚至盈轉(zhuǎn)虧。如大唐電信。
5.信息披露的非主動性
目前我國上市公司把信息披露看成是一種額外負擔(dān),對信息披露總是抱著能少則少、能不披露就不披露的心態(tài),而不是主動、自愿地去披露有關(guān)信息。這說明上市公司在其經(jīng)營管理上存在著不愿讓社會公眾知道的陰暗面。
二、信息披露存在問題的成因分析
(一)上市公司自身的內(nèi)在原因。主要包括:
第一,公司利益的推動。某些上市公司為了在當前證券市場中樹立其良好形象,并能在競爭中立于不敗之地,使得利用會計造假、操縱利潤的各種利益沖動一直有增無減。
第二,公司股東的產(chǎn)權(quán)約束弱化。當前一些上市公司的現(xiàn)代產(chǎn)權(quán)制度還不能通過改革一步到位,其中由于國有股產(chǎn)權(quán)主體缺位,很難強化國有股股東對公司的產(chǎn)權(quán)約束和控制,而社會公眾股數(shù)量較少,股東分散,也難以強化國有股股東對公司的產(chǎn)權(quán)約束和控制,從而造成這些公司的管理權(quán)失控,以致給利潤操作者以可乘之機。
第三,公司內(nèi)部缺乏自我約束和監(jiān)督機制。目前某些上市公司正是由于缺乏應(yīng)有的內(nèi)部審計及管理控制,會計基礎(chǔ)工作薄弱,會計管理體制不順,內(nèi)部審計監(jiān)督職能被削弱。
(二)信息披露存在問題的外在原因
1.會計法制不健全
目前,我國上市公司的會計準則制度仍然是不完全的。體現(xiàn)在以下幾個方面:第一,會計準則制度與會計實踐之間存在著一定的時滯。由于會計實踐和經(jīng)濟創(chuàng)新行為的層出不窮,實踐中經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)企業(yè)的會計處理“無法可依”的情況。第二,會計準則之間存在著不協(xié)調(diào)的現(xiàn)象。第三,有關(guān)規(guī)定政出多門。由于會計準則由財政部頒布,上市公司信息披露的規(guī)則由證監(jiān)會制定,相關(guān)規(guī)定之間有時并不十分和諧統(tǒng)一,這也給信息披露工作帶來了一定困難。

2.上市公司質(zhì)量普遍不高
脫胎于經(jīng)濟轉(zhuǎn)軌時期,我國上市公司大都由國有企業(yè)通過剝離、并購和包裝上市等方式轉(zhuǎn)制而來,這種以剝離、拼湊資產(chǎn)、亂作賬,以符合上市標準的非規(guī)范上市操作導(dǎo)致這一時期的上市公司質(zhì)量普遍較差。那些質(zhì)量不達標,靠披露虛假信息蒙混上市的公司,上市以后為了保住“殼”資源或達到更進一步的目的,迫不得已還要繼續(xù)披露虛假信息,從而進入作假的惡性循環(huán)。
3.利益誘惑
這是導(dǎo)致上市公司信息披露違規(guī)的根本原因。首先,是上市的誘惑。為了獲得更廣闊的融資渠道,有些公司或者利用各種手段虛增利潤,或者制造虛假證明文件,或者進行虛假陳述,在其招股說明書中發(fā)布不實信息,以此獲得上市資格。其次,是配股的吸引。為了獲得配股資格以滿足對資金的持續(xù)需求,有些公司往往粉飾會計數(shù)據(jù),進而披露虛假的會計信息。
4.監(jiān)管不力、處罰不重
這是導(dǎo)致上市公司信息披露違規(guī)的重要原因。首先,職業(yè)審計界的審計監(jiān)督有效性不足。造成有大量的未經(jīng)嚴格把關(guān)的不實信息得以對外披露。其次,信息披露違規(guī)的法律責(zé)任體系存在缺陷。對違法違規(guī)行為一般都采用行政處罰,責(zé)任人較少因其違法行為而受到處罰或承擔(dān)民事賠償責(zé)任。與信息披露違規(guī)所帶來的收益相比,違規(guī)成本僅是“滄海一粟”。因此,行政處罰對上市公司信息違規(guī)披露的遏制作用效果并不明顯。
三、規(guī)范上市公司信息披露的對策
規(guī)范上市公司信息披露,可以從建立內(nèi)部約束機制和外部約束機制入手。
(一)建立健全內(nèi)部控制機制。
第一,提高管理者的素質(zhì)。管理者的素質(zhì)在企業(yè)的經(jīng)營管理中起絕對作用,對企業(yè)產(chǎn)生深
遠影響,企業(yè)內(nèi)部應(yīng)建立、健全管理人員的聘用、評估、升遷、淘汰制度;定期或不定期地進行培訓(xùn)教育等措施,提高管理人員科學(xué)管理企業(yè)的能力和強化對內(nèi)部控制的認識,此外,外部經(jīng)理人才市場的建立也將為企業(yè)選擇高素質(zhì)的管理人才創(chuàng)造出有力條件。在提
高管理者素質(zhì)的同時也應(yīng)該提高人們對內(nèi)部控制的認識,使公司在實施內(nèi)部控制的過程中變被動為主動,只有公司全員上下共同參與,內(nèi)部控制制度才能得到有效的執(zhí)行,發(fā)揮其真正的作用。要強化披露財務(wù)信息內(nèi)部監(jiān)督機制,保持監(jiān)督人員在企業(yè)中行使職權(quán)時高度的獨立--------------------------精品

第二,上市公司必須加強內(nèi)部審計,設(shè)置內(nèi)審機構(gòu),歸屬監(jiān)事會領(lǐng)導(dǎo),對會計業(yè)務(wù)進行日常的內(nèi)部審計監(jiān)督。
第三,明確財務(wù)人員的信息供給主體的地位,強化披露財務(wù)信息的內(nèi)部監(jiān)督。
第四,監(jiān)督人員在企業(yè)中行使其職權(quán)保持高度的獨立性。
第五,必須合理、有效地設(shè)置會計機構(gòu)。目前必須將上市公頃司的會計部門和財力管理部門分立,分屬不同領(lǐng)導(dǎo),分擔(dān)不同職能。避免管理人員舞弊。
(二)建立外部約束機制。
第一,制定科學(xué)、配套的會計規(guī)范體系。我國上市公司會計規(guī)范體系主要由 《會計法》、《證券法》、《企業(yè)會計準則》、《企業(yè)會計制度》等法律規(guī)范制度所構(gòu)成。但是目前我國有關(guān)現(xiàn)行法規(guī)制度中仍存在漏洞和不足,如財務(wù)信息披露中對重大事件披露的規(guī)定顯得不夠明確和完整,商業(yè)秘密和必須披露的財務(wù)信息間的界限不夠明朗等,這些地方都需要進行修改和補充。
第二,加大證券市場財務(wù)信息披露的監(jiān)督力度。改革多頭管理的體制。證券監(jiān)管部門的設(shè)置應(yīng)集中到兩個層次:一是中央級的證券監(jiān)管部門。負責(zé)對全國上市公司進行客觀監(jiān)管,統(tǒng)一制定證券市場政策和上市信息披露規(guī)范;二是證券交易所,它就遵循中央證券監(jiān)管部門的規(guī)定,對上市公司的日?;顒雍拓攧?wù)信息披露進行具體的詳細的監(jiān)管。建立上市公司信息監(jiān)察員制度,由中國證監(jiān)會及其駐各地派出機構(gòu)委派信息監(jiān)察員到各上市公司,對上市公司的信息包括招股說明書、申報、年報、股利分配等信息的生成和披露加以監(jiān)督,防止外界各相關(guān)利益集團對會計部門的信息供給橫加干涉。證券監(jiān)管部門要制定一套切實可行的上市公司財務(wù)信息披露的監(jiān)管辦法,對違規(guī)行為予以明確界定,堅決杜絕不規(guī)范行為。
第三,發(fā)展和完善注冊會計師審計制度。加快會計師事務(wù)所體制改革,改善執(zhí)業(yè)環(huán)境,制定相應(yīng)的執(zhí)業(yè)自律準則,大力提高注冊會計師的風(fēng)險意識、業(yè)務(wù)水平和職業(yè)道德水準,完善審計準則修改審計假設(shè)及審計方法和程序,以適合我國證券市場不夠規(guī)范的現(xiàn)實??梢越⒁惶淄晟频?、科學(xué)的資本市場訴訟和民事賠償制度。這樣,可以使注冊會計師的獨立審計成為--------------------------精品

第四篇:上市公司信息披露
上市公司信息披露
信息披露
信息披露主要是指公眾公司以招股說明書、上市公告書以及定期報告和臨時報告等形式,把公司及與公司相關(guān)的信息,向投資者和社會公眾公開披露的行為。
1993年3月18日,中國證監(jiān)會下達《關(guān)于股票公開發(fā)行與上市公司信息披露有關(guān)事項的通知》,要求指定報刊按規(guī)定刊登上市公司定期報告和臨時報告。
信息披露作用
上市公司信息披露是公眾公司向投資者和社會公眾全面溝通信息的橋梁。目前,投資者和社會公眾對上市公司信息的獲取,主要是通過大眾媒體閱讀各類臨時公告和定期報告。投資者和社會公眾在獲取這些信息后,可以作為投資抉擇的主要依據(jù)。真實、全面、及時、充分地進行信息披露至關(guān)重要,只有這樣,才能對那些持價值投資理念的投資者真正有幫助。
近年來,個別公司的信息披露出現(xiàn)了不夠全面、及時和充分的情況。但最終,信息披露還是要以事實為依據(jù)的。因此,那些不夠全面、及時和充分的信息披露,是不能長期維持的。虛假信息只能瞞一時,無法瞞一世。如果我們仔細閱讀上市公司的信息,也能對少數(shù)公司信息披露中存在的問題有所發(fā)現(xiàn),這樣就可以避免一些投資失誤。
盡管不少人認為我們的市場存在較大的投機成分,但股價的排序依舊有其合理的成分。我們常見媒體上有“年報行情”甚至“前年報行情”、“后年報行情”等提法。實際上,這些都屬于由信息披露產(chǎn)生的客觀影響。
基本義務(wù)
根據(jù)規(guī)定,上市公司應(yīng)當履行以下信息披露的基本義務(wù):
1.及時披露所有對上市公司股票價格可能產(chǎn)生重大影響的信息;
2.確保信息披露的內(nèi)容真實、準確、完整而且沒有虛假、嚴重誤導(dǎo)性陳述或重大遺漏。
3.上市公司董事會全體成員必須保證信息披露內(nèi)容真實、準確、完整,沒有虛假、嚴重誤導(dǎo)性陳述或重大遺漏,并就其保證承擔(dān)連帶賠償責(zé)任。
披露信息
上市公司應(yīng)當披露的信息包括:
1.首次披露——招股說明書
2.上市公告書
3.定期報告:包括報告、中期報告、季度報告
4.臨時報告。
具體而言:
上市公司的信息披露主要分為定期報告和臨時報告兩類:定期報告包括報告和中期報告。中期報告分為前半個會計的半報告和季度報告。季度報告分為一季度(春季度)報告和三季度(秋季度)報告。
臨時報告包括的內(nèi)容和形式較為廣泛。較為常見的有股東大會決議公告、董事會決議公告、監(jiān)事會決議公告。其他重大事項也會由一些中介機構(gòu)同時發(fā)布信息,如回訪報告、評估報告和審計報告、律師見證報告,等等。
內(nèi)容與格式
上市公司的信息披露在內(nèi)容和格式上有一系列的要求。1993年6月10日,中國證監(jiān)會《公開發(fā)行股票公司信息披露實施細則(試行)》出臺。這是涉及上市公司信息披露內(nèi)容與格式的第一個部門規(guī)章。此后,有關(guān)招股說明書、上市公告書、報告、中期報告等文件的內(nèi)容與格式的規(guī)定相繼發(fā)布。今后,還將陸續(xù)不斷地進行修訂和完善。
目前,相關(guān)的規(guī)章名稱中通常有“發(fā)行證券公司信息披露內(nèi)容與格式準則第XX號”字樣。發(fā)行證券公司包括上市公司、暫停上市公司和擬上市公司。
披露媒體
目前,上市公司披露信息的平面媒體主要是中國證監(jiān)會指定的一些專業(yè)報刊,如《中國證券報》、《上海證券報》、《證券時報》、《證券日報》等證券類報刊。
