چکیده
هدف: قابلیت مقایسه صورت‌های مالی را می‌توان به عنوان یکی از ابعاد راهبری شرکتی در نظر گرفت زیرا کاهش ارزش ناشی از متنوع‌سازی را در شرکت کاهش می‌دهد. افزون بر این، نتایج تجربی نشان می‌دهد که قابلیت مقایسه صورت‌های مالی می‌تواند مزایای بهتری را برای شرکت‌هایی که با مشکلات نمایندگی شدیدتری مواجه هستند، فراهم کند. در نتیجه، قابلیت مقایسه صورت‌های مالی می‌تواند مشکلات نمایندگی را برای شرکت‌های چندبخشی که ریشه ناکارآمدی سرمایه داخلی است، کاهش دهد و کاهش ارزش‌های آتی را کنترل کند. مدیران معمولا تمایل دارند که منابع و سرمایه داخلی را بر مبنای سودآوری بخش‌های مختلف، تخصیص دهند. با این حال، تنوع در ارائه محصول منجر به تغییر روند تسهیم سرمایه داخلی می‌گردد. در این مقاله، هدف بررسی نقش قابلیت مقایسه صورت‌های مالی و متنوع‌سازی محصول در کارایی تخصیص سرمایه داخلی است.
روش: پژوهش حاضر بر اساس هدف، از نوع توصیفی و بر اساس ماهیت و روش از نوع همبستگی است. با توجه به اینکه این پژوهش می‌تواند در فرآیند تصمیم‌گیری سرمایه‌گذاران مورد استفاده قرار گیرد، نوع پژوهش کاربردی محسوب می-شود. در این پژوهش برای گردآوری داده‌ها و اطلاعات، ابتدا از روش کتابخانه‌ای استفاده شده است. در روش کتابخانه-ای، مبانی نظری پژوهش، از کتب و مجلات تخصصی فارسی و لاتین گردآوری می‌شود. سپس، برای گردآوری داده-های پژوهش حاضر از لوح‌های فشرده آرشیو تصویری و آماری سازمان بورس اوراق بهادار تهران، سایت رسمی شرکت بورس اوراق بهادار تهران و دیگر پایگاه‌های اینترنتی مرتبط، استفاده شده است. در این پژوهش به منظور بررسی و تحلیل فرضیات، داده‌های مربوط به 120 شرکت پذیرفته شده در بورس اوراق بهادار تهران برای دوره زمانی 1395 تا 1402 استخراج و از مدل رگرسیونی داده‌های ترکیبی به روش اثرات ثابت برای آزمون فرضیه‌های تحقیق استفاده شده است.
یافته‌ها: نتایج تحقیق حاکی از آن است که قابلیت مقایسه صورت‌های مالی منجر به افزایش کارایی تخصیص سرمایه داخلی می‌شود. همچنین، نتایج حاصل از فرضیه دوم تحقیق بیانگر ارتباط معنادار بین تنوع محصول و کارایی تخصیص سرمایه داخلی است. نتایج فرضیه سوم نشان‌دهنده تاثیر معنادار قابلیت مقایسه صورت‌های مالی بر ارتباط بین تنوع محصول و کارایی تخصیص سرمایه داخلی است. همچنین، نتایج حاصل از فرضیه چهارم تحقیق بیانگر ارتباط معنادار بین عدم تقارن اطلاعاتی و کارایی تخصیص سرمایه داخلی است. در نهایت، نتایج فرضیه پنجم نشان‌دهنده اثر تعاملی عدم تقارن اطلاعاتی، قابلیت مقایسه صورت‌های مالی و تنوع محصول بر کارایی تخصیص سرمایه داخلی است.
نتیجه‌گیری: قابلیت مقایسه صورت‌های مالی به واسطه پردازش و مخابره اطلاعات درون‌سازمانی، چارچوب‌های کیفی اطلاعات حسابداری را برای فعالان بازار سرمایه فراهم می‌سازد. بنابراین، این راهبرد امکان ارزیابی موفقیت پروژه‌های سرمایه‌گذاری را ممکن می-سازد. به عبارتی، قابلیت مقایسه، با افزایش دقت اطلاعات در دسترس، امکان تسهیم کارآمد سرمایه داخلی بر مبنای محصول را افزایش می‌دهد و تمایل مدیران برای به خظر انداختن منافع سهامداران را کاهش می‌دهد.

چکیده [English]

Objective: Comparability of financial statements can be considered as one of the dimensions of corporate governance because it reduces the value reduction caused by diversification in the company. In addition, empirical results show that comparability of financial statements can provide better benefits for companies that face more severe agency problems. As a result, comparability of financial statements can reduce agency problems for multi-sector companies, which are the root of internal capital inefficiency and control the decline in future values. Managers usually tend to allocate internal resources and capital based on the unit profitability. However, diversity in product offerings leads to changes in the internal capital allocation process. The aim of this paper is to examine the role of financial statement comparability and product diversification in the internal capital allocation efficiency.
Method: The purpose of this study is descriptive and based on the nature and method of correlation. Considering that this research can be used in the decision making process of investors, the type of applied research is considered. In this research, library method has been used to collect data and information. Then, for collecting the research data, compact discs, visual and statistical archives of the Tehran Stock Exchange, the official website of Tehran Stock Exchange and other related online databases have been used. In this study, in order to examine and analyze the hypotheses, data related to 120 companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange for the period 2016 to 2023 were extracted and a panel data regression model with fixed effects was used to test the research hypotheses.
Findings: The results of the study indicate that the comparability of financial statements leads to an increase in the internal capital allocation efficiency. Also, the results of the second hypothesis of the study indicate a significant relationship between product diversity and the internal capital allocation efficiency. The results of the third hypothesis indicate a significant effect of financial statement comparability on the relationship between product diversity and the internal capital allocation efficiency. Also, the results of the fourth hypothesis of the research indicate a significant relationship between information asymmetry and internal capital allocation efficiency. Finally, the results of the fifth hypothesis indicate an interactive effect of information asymmetry, financial statement comparability, and product diversity on internal capital allocation efficiency.
Conclusion: The financial statements comparability through the processing and communication of intra-organizational information provides qualitative frameworks of accounting information for capital market practitioners. Therefore, this strategy makes it possible to evaluate the success of investment projects. In other words, comparability, by increasing the accuracy of available information, increases the possibility of efficient internal capital allocation based on output and reduces the managers’ willingness to decrease the shareholders’ interest.
