Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立臺北大學 === 會計學系 === 99 === The purpose of this study is to examine the influence of equity overvalution on the probability of issuing going-concern opinions. In recent years, there are many accounting fraud cases emerged while most of these cases are accompany with equity overvaluation. I focus on financially distressed companies and first-time going-concern receivers. Research samples are collected from Taiwanese public trading firms over the period 1998 to 2009. To examine the hypothesis, Probit regression analyses were used in this study. I find that there is a positive correlation between equity overvaluation and the probability of receiving a going-concern opinion. However, I did not find any evidence that the associations between equity overvaluation and the probability of issuing going-concern opinions next period. To summarize, research findings do not support my conjecture.
