內容簡介：
This study shows that less readable 10-K reports are associated with higher stock price crash risk. The results are consistent with the argument that managers can successfully hide adverse information by writing complex financial reports, which leads to stock price crashes when the hidden bad news accumulates and reaches some tipping point. Additional analyses show that the effect of financial reporting complexity on crash risk is more pronounced for firms with persistent negative earnings news or with transitory positive earnings news, for firms with greater CEO stock option incentive, and for firms with lower litigation risk. Finally, it appears that accrual manipulation is positively related to crash risk even in the post-Sarbanes–Oxley Act era if the manipulation is accompanied by complex 10-K reports.
