Impact of IPO Review Inquiry Intensity on Prospectus Information Disclosure Updates
Journal Title: Journal of Accounting, Finance and Auditing Studies - Year 2024, Vol 10, Issue 4
Abstract
The prospectus, as the primary vehicle for issuers to disclose information to the public, plays a crucial role in protecting investors’ rights. Review inquiries serve as an important tool to ensure the quality of the prospectus, as the inquiry and feedback mechanism helps to identify potential risks and enhance the quality of information disclosure. This paper, based on the theory of responsive regulation and the attention-based view, takes companies applying for Initial Public Offering (IPO) on the Science and Technology Innovation Board (STAR) Market and ChiNext Board between 2019 and 2023 as the research samples. Using text analysis methods such as the Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) topic model and dictionary-based methods, this study measures the intensity of review inquiries and the extent of information disclosure. It examines the impact of inquiry topics on the disclosure of corresponding information in the prospectus and explores the moderating effects of company ownership structure, sponsor reputation, and auditor reputation on these relationships. Empirical results indicate that: (1) an increase in the formality of review inquiries enhances the optimization of information disclosure in the prospectus; (2) the focus of review inquiries on specific topics has a significant positive impact on the update of relevant information disclosure in the prospectus; and (3) at the ownership structure level, state-owned enterprises dampen the positive influence of review inquiries on the textual features of the prospectus.
