This study aims to examine the impact on subsidiary’s earning management through financial assets in available-for-sale by analyzing whether the financial holding companies mainly consist of banks or insurance companies. After “Financial Holding Company Act” was passed in 2001 in Taiwan, banks and insurance companies turned into financial holding companies. The development of financial holding companies and the background of their executive leaders form their subsidiaries in different ways. For the subsidiaries, the differences of the abundance of professional knowledge and management aspects between financial holding companies may affect subsidiaries’ motivation and freedom on earning management.
This paper chooses proportion of asset, the composition of directors and supervisors, as ways to identify the main body of the financial holding companies. Using realized gain or loss on financial instruments in available-for-sale as the dependent variable, to run multiple regressions. At the meantime, this paper studies whether the subsidiary uses available-for-sale securities to raise the income of the financial holding company based on poor performance on other subsidiaries in the same financial holding company.
The regression results show that the higher the proportion of banking in financial holding companies is, the lower the degree of earning management of the bank is. The reasons are that the financial holding company is highly familiar with the banking system, and examines bank’s earning composition as well as abnormal trends instead of the final figures on the income statement. These reasons above lower the incentives of earning management for banks. Different from the hypothesis, the empirical result does not prove that banks or insurance companies help other subsidiary with unsatisfactory performance in the same financial holding company. When using the composition of directors and supervisors of financial holding companies to differentiate its main body, results show that if the chairman of the financial holding company works in bank-related jobs, or more than half of the directors work in bank-related jobs, the degree of earning management of banking will be weakened.
