Top management team characteristics and financial reporting quality : evidence from Thailand
Abstract:
Financial reports purportedly communicate a companys financial performance
as well as provide feedback on managements past decisions. Therefore, financial reporting
quality should be related to the top management team characteristics. This research
empirically examines how top management team characteristics (i.e., team homogeneity
and shared experience) affect financial reporting quality. I replicate Zhang (2019)
research design in an emerging market context. I conjecture a positive relationship,
opposite to Zhang (2019) results because Thai emerging market has different ownership
and cultural structure. The sample of Thai SET 100 firms during 2011 to 2020 includes
819 firm-year observations. The findings suggest that team homogeneity and shared
experience are positively related to financial reporting quality, consistent with the
hypotheses. The effective monitoring by low tenure independent directors in board
attenuates positive relation between Top Management Team (TMT) characteristic of
financial reporting quality
