摘要
En 中文
In this paper, we investigate what we call financial statement users' institutional logic, defined as users' expressed fundamental views and beliefs about accounting information. We analyze users' comment letters to standard setters in response to the proposed standards on lease accounting to identify the dimensions of the institutional logic that underlie their views on accounting information. Our qualitative analysis identified and validated ten principal dimensions, namely economics and substance, due process issues, measurement, readiness and relevance for use, conceptual foundations, clarity, presentation and disclosure, cost-benefit issues, comparability and consistency, and financial statement manipulation. Quantitative analyses revealed that four of these dimensions, i.e. due process issues, readiness and relevance for use, comparability and consistency, and cost-benefit issues, occupy a medium or large amount of space in users' comments and are referred to in strong terms, while economics and substance and measurement, although also widely discussed, are addressed in weaker terms. Overall, our study begins to fill a gap in the literature by providing insights into users' views on accounting information. These insights challenge the homo economicus user currently constructed in standard-setting debates. (c) 2021 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
