Summary:碩士 === 國立東華大學 === 會計與財務碩士學位學程 === 103 === This study aims to examine the associations between loan contractual terms and accounting “reliability”.

Our results imply that the necessity for reliable accounting from the viewpoint of contracting role and should be of interest to standard-setters and policy makers.
