报告简介：

We examine the market reaction to the tone in independent director opinion reports on material events released by Chinese listed companies during the period 2004 to 2014. We document significantly negative cumulative abnormal returns surrounding the issuance of reports that have a conservative tone. The informativeness of independent director tone is influenced by a firm’s transparency and the relative importance of the directorship to independent directors. We also find that firms with conservative independent director reports exhibit higher probability of fraud and restatement and lower operating income. Overall, our results show that independent directors in China play a monitoring role.
