Abstract

Against a backdrop of global accounting harmonization, financial information is required to be useful and trustworthy for investors and other users. This study contributes to establishing whether there is a relationship between the Z-score model for predicting financial distress and the Z Vladu model for predicting earnings manipulation. Both models discriminate between companies using financial statement ratios. Extracting data from the Sistema de Análisis de Balances Ibéricos (Iberian Accounts Analysis System, or SABI) database for medium-sized and large Spanish companies for the period 2005 to 2015, both summary indicators have been calculated and descriptive and bivariate analyses have been performed. The results show that there is a relationship between both indicators, albeit a weak one.

En un contexto de armonización contable global, se requiere que la información financiera sea útil y confiable para los inversores y otros usuarios. Este estudio contribuye a establecer si existe una relación entre el modelo Z-score para predecir dificultades financieras y el modelo Z Vladu para predecir la manipulación de ganancias. Ambos modelos discriminan entre compañías que usan índices de estados financieros. Extrayendo datos de la base de datos del Sistema de Análisis de Balances Ibéricos (SABI) para empresas españolas medianas y grandes para el período 2005 a 2015, se han calculado indicadores resumidos y se han realizado análisis descriptivos y bivariados. Los resultados muestran que existe una relación entre ambos indicadores, aunque sea débil.

Abstract

The aim of this research is to highlight the relationship between financial reporting quality and corporate social responsibility (CSR) on the family firm sphere. Using a database of 1275 companies for the period 2002–2010 and the GMM estimator of Arellano and Bond (1991) for panel data, our results show that those companies that report high-quality financial statements promote more CSR practices. However, this relationship is weaker in family firms which support the existence of an entrenchment effect that associates greater family ownership with poor-quality information. We argue that family firms differ from non-family regarding the effect of financial reporting quality on the level of CSR practices.

El objetivo de esta investigación es resaltar la relación entre la calidad de la información financiera y la responsabilidad social corporativa (RSC) en el ámbito de la empresa familiar. Utilizando una base de datos de 1275 empresas para el período 2002–2010 y el estimador GMM de Arellano y Bond (1991) para datos de panel, nuestros resultados muestran que aquellas empresas que informan estados financieros de alta calidad promueven más prácticas de RSC. Sin embargo, esta relación es más débil en las empresas familiares que respaldan la existencia de un efecto de atrincheramiento que asocia una mayor propiedad familiar con información de baja calidad. Argumentamos que las empresas familiares difieren de las no familiares con respecto al efecto de la calidad de la información financiera en el nivel de las prácticas de RSC.
