Responsabilidad social corporativa responsabilidad contable
Corporate social responsibility vs. accounting ethics
Resumen
El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar si las empresas socialmente responsables muestran tendencia al uso de mejores prácticas contables, identificadas estas mediante una menor tendencia a la manipulación de resultados. Esta relación es contrastada para una muestra no-balanceada de 1.960 compañías multinacionales, no financieras y cotizadas, pertenecientes a 26 países para el período 2002–2010. La utilización en el análisis de datos de panel, mediante la aplicación del estimador método generalizador de momentos de Arellano y Bond (1991), permite evidenciar la existencia de una relación negativa entre ambas variables. Los resultados obtenidos son robustos para distintas medidas de la manipulación contable y la responsabilidad social corporativa.
