資訊透明度與企業風險之間的關聯性

The Relation between Information Transparency and Enterprise Risk

本研究之主要目的在探討資訊透明度與企業風險之影響。本研究推論因資訊透明度會影響企業風險。本研究以2011及2012年間臺灣上市（櫃）公司作為研究對象，共計2,105筆觀察值。在資訊透明度上，本研究採用臺灣證基會所建置的「資訊揭露評鑑系統」所評鑑之結果作為本研究之資訊透明度變數。實證研究結果顯示，資訊透明度與企業風險呈現負向之關聯性。本研究更進一步將企業風險區分成營運風險和財務風險，再分別檢視資訊透明度與營運風險和財務風險之間的關聯性。其結果顯示出資訊透明度與營運風險呈現顯著負向之關聯性。但與財務風險卻呈現負向不顯著。這樣的結果說明了資訊透明度與營運風險之間的關聯性優於財務風險。

This study examines the effect of information transparency (IT) on the enterprise risk (ER). The firms, listed on TSE and OTC during 2011~2012 are as sample firms. The final sample of this study consists of 2,105 observations. Information transparency, the Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation (TSEC) ranks the information transparency of listed companies and to disclose its rankings, as IT variable. The empirical results show that the IT significantly and negatively impacts the ER. We further divided variable of the enterprise risk by the operational risk (OR) and the financial risk (FR), and examine the effect of IT on OR with FR. The results indicate that IT significantly and negatively impacts the OR. But the negative impacts between IT and FR. This result means that the relation between IT and OR is higher than that the ER.
