Based on a sample of 724 Taiwanese companies listed in Taiwan Securities Exchange over the period of 2004-2010, this research investigates the impact of internal control weaknesses on firm performance. Different from prior studies that identified internal control weaknesses only from voluntary disclosures made by the firm and releases regarding firm’s violation of regulations issued by the Finanical Supervisory Commission, Executive Yuan, ROC (FSC). This study extensively collects news related to events resulting from internal control weaknesses as an additional data source. A further classification of internal control weaknesses is performed based on the nature of the events and the internal control framework proposed in the COSO report. The empirical results indicate that firms with internal control weaknesses are significantly underperformed. It is also found that material weaknesses have greater impact on firm performance. The results show that firms associated with FSC regulation violation releases, the integrity and ethical values of management is biased, and had restated financial statements accounting errors have significantly lower performance. The internal control weaknesses classified by the elements and objectives of internal control based on the COSO framework, are found to be significantly and negatively related to the firm performance respectively and collectively. In specific, the weaknesses associated with control environment, risk assessment, monitoring, and financial reporting objective have greater impact on firm performance.參考文獻 一、中文部分Garittee, J. 2002. 亞洲公司治理:迷思或現實,內部稽核季刊,第39期,頁11-20。方志宏,2007,內部控制缺失與財務績效相關性研究-以本國商業銀行為例,國立台北大學會計學系碩士論文。李佩琳,2009,內部稽核主管特質對內部控制品質之影響,國立台北大學會計學系碩士論文。吳當傑,2004,公司治理理論與實務,財團法人孫運璿學術基金會。林宛瑩與許崇源,2008,台灣集團企業之控股型態及公司治理衡量指標之研究與建議,交大管理學報,第28卷第1期,頁269-312。邱正仁、熊大中與高蘭芬,2002,股權質押與財務危機關聯性之研究,中華會計學刊,第3卷第1期,頁79-111。高蘭芬與邱正仁,2002,董監事股權質押對會計盈餘與股票報酬相關性之影響,台大管理論叢,第13卷第1期,頁127-162。馬秀如,1997,內部控制之過去與現在,會計研究月刊,第138期,頁25-40。馬秀如,1998,內部控制-整體架構,財團法人中華民國會計研究發展基金會。馬秀如,2002,控制至治理之途,主計月刊,第562期,頁63-75。馬秀如,2005,內部控制之延伸-風險管理,會計研究月刊,第238期,頁19-30。黃靖雅,2007,集團企業股權結構複雜度與經營效益關聯性之探討,國立政治大學會計學系碩士論文。黃崇輝,2004,公司治理與經營績效關聯性之研究-以台南地區上市、上櫃及公開發行公司為實證,國立成功大學高階管理碩士在職專班。黃誌緯,2009,內部控制有效性與企業績效及財務報導可靠性,國立成功大學會計學系碩士論文。陳宜伶,2009,董事會之獨立、專業、參與對企業績效及風險之影響,國立政治大學會計學系博士論文。葉旻其,2009,公司治理機制對企業績效與董監薪酬之影響,國立政治大學會計學系碩士論文。張思國、陳脩文、鄭益成、黃曉惠,2009,公司治理因素與上市公司內部控制制度關聯性之研究(上) ,證交資料,第567期,頁6-25。張思國、陳脩文、鄭益成、黃曉惠,2009,公司治理因素與上市公司內部控制制度關聯性之研究(中) ,證交資料,第568期,頁6-27。張思國、陳脩文、鄭益成、黃曉惠,2009,公司治理因素與上市公司內部控制制度關聯性之研究(下) ,證交資料,第569期,頁20-51。顏怡音,2003,從內部控制之觀點論公司治理,主計月刊,第576 期,頁49-59。二、英文部分 Anderson, R.
