Building the Model to Measure the Quality of Financial Statements – A Case Study of Vietnamese Enterprises Listed on the Stock Market
Journal Title: Journal of Economics, Finance and Management Studies - Year 2023, Vol 6, Issue 06
Abstract
Bloomberg's recent recognition of Vietnam as Asia’s “new tiger economy” is not coincidental. The country is experiencing a surge in mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activities, with foreign billionaires acquiring majority stakes in major Vietnamese enterprises. However, obstacles hinder foreign investment, mainly due to the poor and unclear quality of financial statements, as reported by the World Bank and IMF in 2014. Drawing from agency theory (Jensen and Meckling, 1976) and asymmetric information theory (Akerlof, Spence, and Stiglitz, 1970), we aim to develop a model that measures the quality of financial statement information. By consulting with experienced academics, experts, and specialists in accounting and auditing, we identify factors that impact the quality of financial statements. We employ qualitative analysis and the CFA and EFA methods to validate these impacting factors, conducting surveys with listed enterprises in Vietnam. Based on our findings, we will propose solutions to enhance the quality of financial statements. Our case study focuses on listed enterprises in the Vietnam Stock market, as it is the primary and most effective platform for attracting direct investment through M&A activities and investment funds.
