Game Analysis on the Shareholders, the Manager and the Auditor in Equity Incentive Process

Article Preview

Abstract:

Equity incentive is a two-edged sword. In this paper, a three party game model among shareholders, the manager and auditor is built to study the equity incentives negative effects. The results are: the probability of the manager and the auditors collusion to manipulate accounting information is negative connected with the shareholders punishment, and is positive connected with the monitoring cost. Shareholders should improve the technical ability and measures to punish the manager and auditor heavily when they collude to manipulate financial information; Shareholders and the regulatory agencies should give no chance to the manager and the auditor to obtain extra income from accounting information manipulation as much as possible.
