2012上市公司信息披露优秀案例
2013-3-25 14:57:26来源:首席财务官作者:【大中小】
董秘们认为‚除了确保合规之外‚了解投资者的需求‚站在投资者和市场的角度看信息披露‚可以使信息披露的工作做得更好.2012年初‚ACCA在上海证券交易所的协助下‚对11家获得上海证券交易所颁发的“信息披露奖”及“信息披露奖”提名的上市公司进行了详细的访谈‚并据此总结了国内信息披露工作的优秀做法‚并藉此报告与其他企业分享.信息披露工作的驱动力
对大多上市公司而言‚信息披露工作最基本的驱动力可能是合规.不过一些优秀的国内上市公司已经深刻认识到信息披露的价值‚不再只满足于合规‚也希望通过主动的披露维护品牌价值、塑造公司文化、与资本市场建立密切联系以挖掘再融资的机会.海正药业通过公开增发和定向增发的方式‚完成了两次再融资.董秘张薇认为‚通过与投资者良好的沟通‚能使企业更好的利用资本市场做大做强.诚恳的沟通态度很重要‚切忌讲故事或者忽悠‚即使企业业绩处于下滑阶段‚也要告诉投资者将会采取怎样的措施.抓住资本市场上的机遇也是一些公司借以推动自己的新引擎.东方电气证券事务代表黄勇表示‚做好投资者关系、信息披露和内控‚可以更好的利用资本市场谋发展.中青旅的董秘刘广明对此十分认同‚在中青旅的重大决策过程中会考虑到信息披露因素‚董秘会深入参与到决策过程之中‚无论是财务统筹还是业务发展‚都强调与资本市场的接轨.另外越来越多上市公司意识到信息披露是公司市值管理工作的重要一环.东方电气证券事务代表黄勇提出‚要进行公司“市值的预期管理”‚让投资者的评价符合公司的实际运营状况‚既不美化也不丑化‚并在需要的情况下在必要时间发布信息.海正药业的张薇表示‚市值管理的一个目的是要避免股价大起大落‚帮助市场对公司未来业绩建立良好的预期‚而不是反应过度.上海电气董秘伏蓉表示‚如果股价不能反映管理层所认为的公司价值‚公司应该通过多方位的沟通让投资者更清楚了解公司的情况.对信息披露工作的理解
信息披露五项原则
如何正确理解信息披露工作?如中国证监会主席郭树清所提到‚信息披露需要遵循 “及时、准确、完整、真实、公平” 这五大原则.事实上‚要真正按照这五个原则做好工作并非易事‚需要公司治理水平的全面提升.海通证券董秘金晓斌认为‚在五大原则中‚董秘真正能确保的只有“及时”与“公平” 两项原则‚而其他三个要素需要企业其他部门的密切配合和整体公司治理的高水准来保障.公平性是董秘们分歧比较大的领域.散户跟机构投资者所关注的信息大相径庭.从倡导价值投资和积极进行市值管理的角度‚一些董秘在信息披露上‚特别是在主动披露方面‚在不违反合规要求的前提下‚会更倾向于与机构投资者沟通.身为2011年“信息披露奖”评审委员会委员之一的吕红兵律师认为‚虽然企业与机构投资者进行正常的深入交流无可厚非‚但是在处理与投资者沟通的公平性上‚必须恪守底线‚不能在正式信息披露之前‚提前向机构投资者透露敏感信息.对于监管者对信息披露的要求‚中青旅的董秘刘广明认为‚监管的要求应该是最低的要求.在达到合规要求的前提下‚上市公司需要更积极主动地进行信息披露‚这包含在定期报告中做叙述性分析性的披露‚了解投资者的需求.兖州煤业的董秘张宝才更认为‚信息披露是企业“呼吸的咽喉”‚ 要如实展现公司的发展‚透明公开都很重要‚及时有效的信息披露是展现上市公司活力的命脉‚公司需要通过各种不同方式与境内外投资者切实沟通‚建立一套诚信体系.兖州煤业同样愿意主动披露一些信息‚有助于投资者全面了解企业.有效的信息披露机制
1.建立信息发布的授权体系和发言人制度
上汽集团明确了信息发布的授权人为董事长、总裁与董秘‚其他高管发布信息必须得到授权.在敏感时间段‚上汽集团严格要求信息保密的纪律性‚董秘对高管在各种公开场合的讲话都要进行把关‚防止泄露敏感信息.其他企业也成立了类似的授权体系‚如兖州煤业就明确规定财务总监和董秘是信息披露和媒体采访的发言人‚董事长和总裁都需要在敏感期严守保密纪律.2.建立董秘参与公司经营决策的机制
一些公司聘用专职董秘‚保障董秘的充分知情权.上汽集团董秘王剑璋就是专职董秘.她列席董事会和管理层的重要会议‚对敏感信息都要做出是否披露、如何披露的专业判断.另一些公司的董秘由公司高管兼任‚这就确保了对公司经营决策的参与.广州控股的董秘张雪球本身是分管投资的行政副总裁‚除了组织股东大会和董事会会议之外‚也会参加行政办公会议‚参与重大决策.3.建立日常工作中重大信息报告制度
上汽集团制定了内部重大信息报告制度‚令董秘办可以第一时间汇总可能需要披露的信息.同时上汽集团制定了月度内部联系会议制度‚及时搜集信息‚统一信息发布的口径‚了解不同利益相关方所关注的要点.交通银行则在各分行建立了联系人制度‚沟通日常可能需要披露的信息.交通银行董秘办会在股价敏感窗口发布提示函‚针对子公司董事、监事和高管做好个人的风险提示.广州控股的董秘张雪球认为‚企业的信息披露是企业内部控制体系的重要一环‚需要明确责任人‚了解信息披露关键的风险点‚建立具可操作性同时又简单有效的流程.张雪球将董事会、股东大会信息报告需要披露的内容全部列在一张明晰的表格上‚下发到各个业务板块和子公司的负责人‚要求他们第一时间根据表格上报信息.海通证券董秘金晓斌则强调强化制度监管和操作流程约束留痕‚依靠公司办公自动化系统加强监管.4.建立外部信息反馈机制
获得外部反馈‚确保企业内部能及时获知外部信息‚有助于提升信息披露水平.上汽集团的资本运营部每两个星期会将散户专线中搜集到的代表性问题进行总结‚以内刊形式呈送高管‚使之了解投资者关注的热点.同时他们每月或每季度编制内部的投资者关系问答指引‚帮助企业高管了解如何对外传递信息.投资者关系部每年会把与分析师沟通的活动做一番总结‚汇总建议.5.定期对涉及信息披露人员进行培训
因为合规的法律条文很多‚且每年都有变化‚企业需要加强对信息披露人员的培训.国电电力的做法是对下属公司董秘进行至少一年一次的培训‚让他们了解监管政策的变化.此外董秘办也着力于帮助基层企业的领导者了解上市公司规则和公众公司的责任‚通过不断培训强化他们作为公众公司子公司的概念.中国银行董秘部也经常搜集市场上一些信息披露的典型违规案例‚发给领导和相关部门‚作为工作的提醒.6.建立快速应急机制
对于市场谣言或者流传的一些不实报道‚企业需要建立一套快速应急机制.中国银行就建成了这样一套快速反应机制‚既有建立在遍布境内外分支机构的信息披露联系人网络基础上的高效的内部信息核实机制‚又有在极短时间内完成向公司董事会汇报并征得董事签字授权披露的快速反应流程‚有效确保了任何重大事项都能够及时通过临时公告进行必要的澄清.董秘张秉训认为‚信息披露的好坏取决于是否能及时披露或者澄清信息‚这需要信息披露团队内部做好流程和预案.“内部核查的流程很重要‚难度也在于查证情况(是否属实)‚或者某一事件是否发生.”张秉训说.信息披露报告
定期报告
1.财务报告
年度报告是信息披露最重要的媒介.上市公司报告中其中一个重要的部分是财务报表.因为国内上市公司鲜有财务总监兼任董秘‚在制定定期报告时‚董秘与财务总监的密切沟通就显得尤其重要.在年报的撰写过程中‚交通银行的董事会办公室主任助理方卫星提出要兼顾三方面的要求:监管层的合规要求、上市公司的披露需求和投资者关注的要点.按照海正药业董秘张薇的总结‚财务部是与董秘沟通最密切的部门‚并设有信息披露对口的负责人‚每个月都进行双向沟通.董秘主要的关注点包括现金流、在建工程和投资以及负债如银行借款的大幅变动.一般来说‚许多企业会按照业务板块披露板块数据‚而对于特定板块内的业务数据并不一定会进行详细披露‚因此按照怎样的分类来展现企业的业务就很有学问.在公司产业模式从“API为主”向“制剂为主”转型升级时‚海正药业的董秘张薇就主动在定期报告中的主营业务情况中将制剂业务分类披露.上海电气在2010年时也对业务板块披露作了调整‚之前的业务板块划分主要以产品为分类‚调整后改为以新能源(核电、风电)、高效清洁能源、工业装备、现代服务业等产业领域来划分.2.“管理层讨论与分析”
交通银行学习了战略合作伙伴汇丰银行的经验‚在年报中的董事长与行长致词环节上着墨颇多‚对过去一年的业绩进行详细的梳理‚增加了公司高层的战略思考‚对银行未来的发展战略做出清晰的分析与判断‚以及对下一年工作的具体思考.国电电力对非财务信息的讨论和分析做了深入挖掘.董秘陈景东认为‚让投资者准确把握企业和行业的发展趋势‚特别是企业战略转型的思路很重要‚因此他在管理层讨论章节中增加了对企业和行业发展趋势的描述‚管理层的想法和分析.突出投资者关心的重点也是许多董秘着墨较多的地方.东方电气在董事会报告分析章节中‚就公司主要产品大类中的每类产品进行深入分析‚不仅披露完整的财务指标‚还主动提供其他经营数据指标‚如订货量‚新增订单‚在手订单结构等.3.前瞻性与叙述性披露
越来越多上市公司开始探索在定期报告中加入前瞻性和叙述性信息.受访的董秘对未来发展的趋势都有比较一致的判断‚即投资者对企业未来展望的信息的需求很高‚因此增加企业信息的透明度是一个趋势.但是一些董秘也明确表示对发布前瞻性信息的担心‚主要是担心构成对“未来业绩的承诺”.国电电力董秘陈景东表示‚在对未来趋势讨论的披露中不会做出定量的分析‚以免让投资者认为是企业对未来业绩的承诺.上汽集团董秘王剑璋也表示‚未来可能会增加一些对公司发展的讨论‚但是需要明确所描述的未来只是概率比较大的一种可能性‚而不是对未来业绩的承诺.事实上‚投资者对前瞻性信息的关注角度和深度以及理解和使用是千差万别的‚主流尚未清晰地形成‚因此需要建立一个有共识的基础‚才能够减少信息被误解地传播‚从谨慎的角度出发‚信息披露仍将会是以已发生的事项为主.上汽集团证券事务经理蔡莹聪表示‚企业的披露意愿并不仅仅着重于投资者的关注程度‚而是那些企业需要帮助投资者了解的内容.中青旅董秘刘广明认为‚前瞻性与叙述性披露的出发点是帮助投资者更好地对公司价值作出判断‚需要秉持负责任的态度‚杜绝虚假陈述或者对投资者的误导.为此中青旅对于叙述性披露所坚持的是‚恰如其分地披露企业的发展‚依托于对历史数据的梳理‚描述一些未来发展趋势的信息.还有一些董秘认为应该做到全面完整描述公司的发展前景‚但不应替投资者对公司未来发展做出判断.主动披露
除了定期报告之外‚临时公告、路演、业绩说明会、投资者见面会、分析师电话会议、接待投资人参访等方式都是公司主动披露信息的方式‚其中以临时公告最为重要.在临时公告实务中‚有两个倾向不可取.一是遮遮掩掩‚视主动披露为难事;一是过分积极‚任何有关业绩发展、订单等的进展都一一公布‚让投资者无法真正判断企业的价值.帮助投资者对公司的经营情况作出正确的判断‚是许多上市公司进行主动披露的出发点.上海电气所秉持的主动沟通原则‚是把公司重要的业务变化、重大项目、未来发展的可能性等让市场知晓‚把重大合同‚具有里程碑意义的投资等通过公告向市场披露.上汽集团还在行业内倡导并带头规范地披露企业的月度产销数据‚每个月10个工作日之内披露产销快报‚帮助投资者了解企业的经营情况.临时公告的另一要点是需要董秘对“股价敏感信息”作出专业判断.在实务操作过程中‚中国银行特别强调了对市场关注热点的正面回应和主动披露‚以便帮助投资者更好去判断企业的状况.例如在2011年欧债危机爆发过程中‚中国银行就对所持有的欧债状况进行了及时的披露.企业进行资产运作时进行充分的主动披露也十分重要.在2010年上半年‚国电电力向大股东定向增发收购在新疆和江苏的发电资产‚就及时披露相关资产的经营状况、盈利状况、可能面临的困难等‚推动了投资者对收购的理解‚帮助推动收购的实施.除了临时公告之外‚一些公司也另辟蹊径‚通过发布其他报告的形式与投资者沟通.广州控股从2008年开始发布可持续发展报告‚内容包括经济、环境、社会责任等等.媒体战略
国内的媒体环境日益活跃‚特别是财经类新兴的平面媒体报道尖锐‚追求新闻热点迫切‚上市公司要做好信息披露‚必须具备有效地媒体战略.国电电力董秘陈景东把媒体策略归纳为以下几点:重视与媒体建立良好的互动关系‚帮助媒体记者一定程度上准确理解公司的运作;密切关注媒体报道‚在出现不实或者不全面报道时‚及时与媒体沟通‚澄清不实信息;针对个别媒体刻意寻找公司信息披露或运作中的问题‚企业应从善意角度‚积极与媒体沟通‚提升信息披露水平.与媒体建立良好的互动关系很重要.广州控股董秘张雪球认为‚媒体是公司临时公告之外的有益补充.在广州控股整体上市之初‚广州控股通过接受媒体采访的方式‚将管理层所分析的整体上市的意义清晰展示给投资者.对于一些新兴的网络媒体‚一些董秘也会关注.有董秘建议关注股民汇集的东方财富网和百度网吧‚以便对不实信息做出及时澄清‚同时也需要关注公司的股东论坛‚对中小投资者提出的问题给与一定的回应.
第二篇:上市公司信息披露
我国上市公司会计信息披露问题与对策的研究
和进
(中国中信集团成都610041)
摘要:随着我国证券市场的不断发展,上市公司披露信息的质量已成为证券市场健康发展的生命线,关系着社会、企业、投资者其他利害关系人的利益。然而受宏观和微观层面多种因素的影响,我国上市公司会计信息披露暴露出诸多问题。本文在深刻剖析我国上市公司会计信息披露存在问题的原因基础上,提出提高上市公司会计信息披露质量的对策,进而促进我国证券市场健康有效的运行和发展。
关键字:上市公司会计信息披露问题原因对策
上市公司会计信息披露质量的高低是检验一国证券市场是否成熟的试金石,是实现证券市场“三公”原则的基础和维护证券投资者利益的基本保证。上市公司会计信息披露存在的问题会导致投资者参与证券市场的积极性下降、资源配置效率降低等严重后果,所以解决上市公司信息披露问题,有利于保障证券市场稳步、健康、快速、高效发展。
一、上市公司会计信息披露存在的问题
1、会计信息披露不真实。会计信息披露含有虚假记载或误导性陈述是中国上市公司信息披露中最严重、危害最大的问题,由此导致的证券市场信息不对称加大了市场风险,引发了供需双方大量的非理性投机行为,损害了投资者的利益。
2、会计信息披露不充分。目前,大多数上市公司为了实现自身利益最大化,常常报喜不报忧,误导投资者,主要表现在对一些重要事项、资金投向、利润构成以及关联交易披露不够充分、对财务指标提示不够充分或者借保护商业秘密为由,故意隐瞒企业重要会计信息。
3、会计信息披露不及时。目前,我国的上市公司基本上能及时披露业绩报告,但是对可能导致股价下跌的重大事件往往披露不及时,大大降低了会计信息的时效性和相关性,为内幕交易、牟取暴利、操纵市场创造了条件。
4、会计信息披露不主动。我国的会计信息披露处于强制状态,不少上市公司把会计信息披露看作是额外的负担,而不是一种应该承担的义务和股东应该获得的权利。面对负面信息,上市公司对会计信息披露往往采取一种回避的态度。
二、上市公司会计信息披露存在问题的原因
1、宏观方面
(1)法律法规不健全。会计信息披露规范体系主要由《证券法》、《公司法》、《企业会计准则》等法律法规及相关规定构成。尽管这些法律对上市公司会计信息披露作了相应规定,但实践操作中存在困难,使得上市公司在信息披露时有空可钻。
(2)监管不力。我国政府部门监管体系不健全,相关部门权责界定不清,对二级市场的监督力度不大,而且一些监管人员专业胜任能力不足。另外,证券公司、会计师事务所及律师事务所等中介机构受畸形的委托代理关系影响,缺乏独立性,往往无法客观地评价上市公司会计信息。
(3)违规成本低。上市公司披露的会计信息中有瑕疵的占比非常大,被揭露的概率却非常小。加之,上市公司造假所付出的代价远远小于因失信而得到的收益,一些公司不惜通过隐藏或歪曲某些会计信息来形成对自己有利的局面。
2、微观方面
(1)公司利益驱动。公司利益驱动是导致上市公司信息披露存瑕疵的根本原因。一些公司为了维护自己的经济利益、达到配股要求等谎报公司业绩、操纵利润。还有的为了免于被处罚或为大股东和高管谋取利益粉饰报表、延迟披露信息或披露错误信息。
(2)公司内部治理结构不完善。我国上市公司中国有股和法人股占比比较大,流通股比较少,股份相对集中,形成普遍的“一股独大”现象,难以对公司的管理进行控制和约束。部分上市公司缺乏内部审计或者内部审计被弱化,也导致公司财务管理出现混乱,财会信息失去真实性。
(3)投资者能力有限。我国证券市场投资者以散户为主,一方面绝大多数投资者缺乏基本的投资技巧和信息甄别能力,另一方面大多数投资者没有树立正确的投资理念,盲目投资、甚至投机。此外,对于多数投资者来说,获取上市公司有价值信息的成本也非常高。
三、防范信息披露瑕疵的对策
1、完善法律法规体系。相关部门要完善法律法规中的盲点,建立起一个相对完善的制度体系,并且增强有关会计信息披露法律法规的可操作性。此外,为了保障投资者权益,应尽快出台相关的民事责任赔偿法,通过立法和司法解释的手段来细化证券违法行为的民事责任。
2、完善信息披露的监管体系。我国应将政府监管、行业监管和市场监管进行有机结合。政府部门要合理分工,明确职责,提高执法者素质。证券公司、会计师事务所等中介机构要保持独立性,客观真实的评价上市公司会计信息。社会各界也应积极主动地发挥监管职能,加强对上市公司会计信息披露的监管。
3、完善上市公司内部治理结构。上市公司要确立董事会的核心地位,规范和完善董事会的运作,优化董事会的结构和功能,并且强化监事会的作用,保证其独立。上市公司还要完善经理人市场,利用经理人市场的竞争机制促使企业经营者从长远利益出发。此外,建立对管理层的激励与约束机制也对完善上市公司内部治理结构有重要意义。
4、加大处罚力度。有关部门要严厉惩罚提供虚假会计信息、故意隐瞒或歪曲重要信息的上市公司,以及与这些上市公司合谋或无法公正履行职责的会计中介机构,还要构建有效的市场退出机制,当上市公司的造假行为被揭发后,应该把相关的肇事者驱逐出其所处的行业。
四、结语
上市公司信息披露是证券市场永恒的话题, 是证券市场赖以生存和发展的基石。建立高质量,高透明度和具有可比性的会计信息披露体系,既要完善法律法规、加强监管,还要完善公司内部治理、加大惩罚力度,只有这样,证券市场才能得到健康发展。

一、上市公司信息披露中存在的主要问题
1.信息披露内容不真实
这是目前我国上市公司信息披露中最严重、危害最大的问题。主要表现在:
⑴招股说明书过度包装造成盈利预测偏差严重。如1997年在全国国有企业净资产收益率平均不足 7% 的情况下,新上市公司的招股说明书披露的前三年资产收益率普遍达到40% 以上,有的公司竟然达到100%,很显然新上市公司的净资产收益率中有不少水分。
⑵模糊收入概念,人为操纵利润。有的公司将含税收入放入会计报表对外报出,导致对外报出利润与真实利润相差甚远;有的公司根据使用对象来公布收入。如青岛双星旗下的华青轮胎2002年经营数据有四个版本,真假难辩。
⑶伪造资产、虚构利润,以达到吸引投资者的目的。如国内 银广夏”、“东方电子”、“蓝天股份”的造假事件使得会计报表不再是公司经营状况的成绩单,而是一小撮人在那里玩的“数字游戏”。
2.上市公司信息披露不充分、不完整。
根据规定,上市公司重大信息均应在财务报表附注中予以说明,要求做到内容充分、完整。但在实际操作过程中存在以下问题:第一,披露有关信息时措辞含糊模棱两可。第二,规避不利事实,对有利于本公司的信息过分披露。第三,分部信息的披露不充分。
3.上市公司信息披露缺乏时效性。
任何一家公司的生产经营活动都是连续的,因而有关公司的信息的产生也是连续的。由于受到技术手段、信息生产成本、传递成本的限制,上市公司信息的披露只能是间断的,呈现周期性。另一方面,根据有关规定,当发生可能对股票价格产生重大影响,而投资者尚未得知的重大事件时,应立即编制重大事件公告及时向社会披露。但仍有一些公司违反这一规定,不按法定时间正式披露会计信息。

4.信息披露具有随意性
作为公众公司,上市公司的信息披露本应慎之又慎,但一些上市公司却不顾损害公司形象,披露信息时极为随意。有的上市公司在公布定期报告时不严肃,公布之后不断地打“补丁”。2005年就有百余家公司就各自的中报发布了补充报告,个别公司的 补丁”使公司的盈利出现“缩水”,甚至盈转亏。如大唐电信。
5.信息披露的非主动性
目前我国上市公司把信息披露看成是一种额外负担,对信息披露总是抱着能少则少、能不披露就不披露的心态,而不是主动、自愿地去披露有关信息。这说明上市公司在其经营管理上存在着不愿让社会公众知道的阴暗面。
二、信息披露存在问题的成因分析
(一)上市公司自身的内在原因。主要包括:
第一,公司利益的推动。某些上市公司为了在当前证券市场中树立其良好形象,并能在竞争中立于不败之地,使得利用会计造假、操纵利润的各种利益冲动一直有增无减。
第二,公司股东的产权约束弱化。当前一些上市公司的现代产权制度还不能通过改革一步到位,其中由于国有股产权主体缺位,很难强化国有股股东对公司的产权约束和控制,而社会公众股数量较少,股东分散,也难以强化国有股股东对公司的产权约束和控制,从而造成这些公司的管理权失控,以致给利润操作者以可乘之机。
第三,公司内部缺乏自我约束和监督机制。目前某些上市公司正是由于缺乏应有的内部审计及管理控制,会计基础工作薄弱,会计管理体制不顺,内部审计监督职能被削弱。
(二)信息披露存在问题的外在原因
1.会计法制不健全
目前,我国上市公司的会计准则制度仍然是不完全的。体现在以下几个方面:第一,会计准则制度与会计实践之间存在着一定的时滞。由于会计实践和经济创新行为的层出不穷,实践中经常出现企业的会计处理“无法可依”的情况。第二,会计准则之间存在着不协调的现象。第三,有关规定政出多门。由于会计准则由财政部颁布,上市公司信息披露的规则由证监会制定,相关规定之间有时并不十分和谐统一,这也给信息披露工作带来了一定困难。

2.上市公司质量普遍不高
脱胎于经济转轨时期,我国上市公司大都由国有企业通过剥离、并购和包装上市等方式转制而来,这种以剥离、拼凑资产、乱作账,以符合上市标准的非规范上市操作导致这一时期的上市公司质量普遍较差。那些质量不达标,靠披露虚假信息蒙混上市的公司,上市以后为了保住“壳”资源或达到更进一步的目的,迫不得已还要继续披露虚假信息,从而进入作假的恶性循环。
3.利益诱惑
这是导致上市公司信息披露违规的根本原因。首先,是上市的诱惑。为了获得更广阔的融资渠道,有些公司或者利用各种手段虚增利润,或者制造虚假证明文件,或者进行虚假陈述,在其招股说明书中发布不实信息,以此获得上市资格。其次,是配股的吸引。为了获得配股资格以满足对资金的持续需求,有些公司往往粉饰会计数据,进而披露虚假的会计信息。
4.监管不力、处罚不重
这是导致上市公司信息披露违规的重要原因。首先,职业审计界的审计监督有效性不足。造成有大量的未经严格把关的不实信息得以对外披露。其次,信息披露违规的法律责任体系存在缺陷。对违法违规行为一般都采用行政处罚,责任人较少因其违法行为而受到处罚或承担民事赔偿责任。与信息披露违规所带来的收益相比,违规成本仅是“沧海一粟”。因此,行政处罚对上市公司信息违规披露的遏制作用效果并不明显。
三、规范上市公司信息披露的对策
规范上市公司信息披露,可以从建立内部约束机制和外部约束机制入手。
(一)建立健全内部控制机制。
第一,提高管理者的素质。管理者的素质在企业的经营管理中起绝对作用,对企业产生深
远影响,企业内部应建立、健全管理人员的聘用、评估、升迁、淘汰制度;定期或不定期地进行培训教育等措施,提高管理人员科学管理企业的能力和强化对内部控制的认识,此外,外部经理人才市场的建立也将为企业选择高素质的管理人才创造出有力条件。在提
高管理者素质的同时也应该提高人们对内部控制的认识,使公司在实施内部控制的过程中变被动为主动,只有公司全员上下共同参与,内部控制制度才能得到有效的执行,发挥其真正的作用。要强化披露财务信息内部监督机制,保持监督人员在企业中行使职权时高度的独立--------------------------精品

第二,上市公司必须加强内部审计,设置内审机构,归属监事会领导,对会计业务进行日常的内部审计监督。
第三,明确财务人员的信息供给主体的地位,强化披露财务信息的内部监督。
第四,监督人员在企业中行使其职权保持高度的独立性。
第五,必须合理、有效地设置会计机构。目前必须将上市公顷司的会计部门和财力管理部门分立,分属不同领导,分担不同职能。避免管理人员舞弊。
(二)建立外部约束机制。
第一,制定科学、配套的会计规范体系。我国上市公司会计规范体系主要由 《会计法》、《证券法》、《企业会计准则》、《企业会计制度》等法律规范制度所构成。但是目前我国有关现行法规制度中仍存在漏洞和不足,如财务信息披露中对重大事件披露的规定显得不够明确和完整,商业秘密和必须披露的财务信息间的界限不够明朗等,这些地方都需要进行修改和补充。
第二,加大证券市场财务信息披露的监督力度。改革多头管理的体制。证券监管部门的设置应集中到两个层次:一是中央级的证券监管部门。负责对全国上市公司进行客观监管,统一制定证券市场政策和上市信息披露规范;二是证券交易所,它就遵循中央证券监管部门的规定,对上市公司的日常活动和财务信息披露进行具体的详细的监管。建立上市公司信息监察员制度,由中国证监会及其驻各地派出机构委派信息监察员到各上市公司,对上市公司的信息包括招股说明书、申报、年报、股利分配等信息的生成和披露加以监督,防止外界各相关利益集团对会计部门的信息供给横加干涉。证券监管部门要制定一套切实可行的上市公司财务信息披露的监管办法,对违规行为予以明确界定,坚决杜绝不规范行为。
第三,发展和完善注册会计师审计制度。加快会计师事务所体制改革,改善执业环境,制定相应的执业自律准则,大力提高注册会计师的风险意识、业务水平和职业道德水准,完善审计准则修改审计假设及审计方法和程序,以适合我国证券市场不够规范的现实。可以建立一套完善的、科学的资本市场诉讼和民事赔偿制度。这样,可以使注册会计师的独立审计成为--------------------------精品

第四篇:上市公司信息披露
上市公司信息披露
信息披露
信息披露主要是指公众公司以招股说明书、上市公告书以及定期报告和临时报告等形式,把公司及与公司相关的信息,向投资者和社会公众公开披露的行为。
1993年3月18日,中国证监会下达《关于股票公开发行与上市公司信息披露有关事项的通知》,要求指定报刊按规定刊登上市公司定期报告和临时报告。
信息披露作用
上市公司信息披露是公众公司向投资者和社会公众全面沟通信息的桥梁。目前,投资者和社会公众对上市公司信息的获取,主要是通过大众媒体阅读各类临时公告和定期报告。投资者和社会公众在获取这些信息后,可以作为投资抉择的主要依据。真实、全面、及时、充分地进行信息披露至关重要,只有这样,才能对那些持价值投资理念的投资者真正有帮助。
近年来,个别公司的信息披露出现了不够全面、及时和充分的情况。但最终,信息披露还是要以事实为依据的。因此,那些不够全面、及时和充分的信息披露,是不能长期维持的。虚假信息只能瞒一时,无法瞒一世。如果我们仔细阅读上市公司的信息,也能对少数公司信息披露中存在的问题有所发现,这样就可以避免一些投资失误。
尽管不少人认为我们的市场存在较大的投机成分,但股价的排序依旧有其合理的成分。我们常见媒体上有“年报行情”甚至“前年报行情”、“后年报行情”等提法。实际上,这些都属于由信息披露产生的客观影响。
基本义务
根据规定,上市公司应当履行以下信息披露的基本义务:
1.及时披露所有对上市公司股票价格可能产生重大影响的信息;
2.确保信息披露的内容真实、准确、完整而且没有虚假、严重误导性陈述或重大遗漏。
3.上市公司董事会全体成员必须保证信息披露内容真实、准确、完整,没有虚假、严重误导性陈述或重大遗漏,并就其保证承担连带赔偿责任。
披露信息
上市公司应当披露的信息包括:
1.首次披露——招股说明书
2.上市公告书
3.定期报告:包括报告、中期报告、季度报告
4.临时报告。
具体而言:
上市公司的信息披露主要分为定期报告和临时报告两类:定期报告包括报告和中期报告。中期报告分为前半个会计的半报告和季度报告。季度报告分为一季度(春季度)报告和三季度(秋季度)报告。
