Accounting Fraud has currently caused a distrust for quality and trust of Accounting information system. The debate on a role of Corporate governance has been proceeded upon the Accounting Fraud and Korean Gov has fixed the law for listed companies and registered incorporation ,more than 2 trillion won assets, to establish a Audit committee on a goal of the trust and transparency in business through innovating the corporate governance after Foreign exchange crisis since 2000. However, many incorporations ,less than 2 trillion won assets, voluntarily established it despite no obligation.
This study analyzed the characteristic of the incorporations volunteering for establishing a Audit committee.
First of all, companies which set up an Audit Committee voluntarily are classified as “Test Group” and those which do not are classified as “Control Group”. Accordingly, the study has focused on evaluating or comparing differences of these two groups of companies.
I chose 68 incorporations as a sample of the experimental and the controlled ,researched by KLCA(2003.12.31), except for construction, financial field and some incorporations of having financial discontinuation. Also this study includes non-financial characteristic to grasp these differences in characteristic variables.
To verify financial and non-financial characteristics, I set up four hypothesis in a research model. As a result of substantial analysis using Mono and Multinomial logit model, Dire variables of the board of administration are consistently related to introducing the voluntary audit committee and Debt variables are related to the voluntary audit committee as well despite non-consistent result.
However, Own concentration variables and Grow variables are not statistically related to introducing the voluntary audit committee.
these results mean, compared to foreign studies, that we need our own unique operation suitable for administrative environments rather than introduce the audit committee.
This study has a limitation and insignificance in some parts since it has been few years to introduce the system which has perfectly settled yet. However, I am convinced that this study will provide useful information for the Gov and companies to set up policies through gripping which Administrative environment variable will lead to establishing the audit committee voluntarily.
