本研究將財務危機分為『經營不善型財務危機』以及『舞弊型財務危機』兩種類型，運用離散時間涉險方法，探討何種公司治理與財務資訊最有可能發生舞弊型的財務危機。同時本研究也探討財務危機對負債比率的敏感性如何受到公司治理中介變數的影響。 實證結果發現當公司治理機制情形不好，但財務報表資訊良好時，發生舞弊型財務危機的可能性將大於經營不善型的財務危機。而財務危機對負債比率的敏感度會受到公司治理中介變數的影響。 / With financial distress being classified as operating-failure financial distress and fraud financial distress, this study employs discrete-time survival model to characterize the fraud financial distress by corporate governance and financial performance. It also investigates the moderate effect of corporate governance on the sensitivity of financial distress to debt ratio. The empirical results indicate that companies with weak corporate governance and good financial performance are more likely to encounter fraud financial distress than operating-failure financial distress. In addition, corporate governance positively moderates the sensitivity of financial distress to debt ratio.

本研究將財務危機分為『經營不善型財務危機』以及『掏空型財務危機』兩種類型，運用離散時間涉險方法，分析公司在不同財務狀況以及公司治理機制下，發生『經營不善型財務危機』的可能性。另外，本研究也探討『經營不善型財務危機』對公司獲利能力的敏感性，是否也受到公司治理的影響。 以民國85-94年上市櫃公司為研究對象，實證結果顯示當公司治理機制強，而財務狀況弱時，最有可能發生『經營不善而非掏空型』財務危機。再者，公司治理機制，會增強財務危機對財務狀況的敏感程度。 / This study classifies financial distress into two types: operating-failure financial distress and fraud financial distress. Based on business performance and corporate governance while employing discrete-time survival model, it analyzes the probability of the operating-failure financial distress. Furthermore, this study also examines if the sensitivity of operating-failure financial distress to profitability is moderated by corporate governance. Firms listed in Taiwan Stock Exchange during 1996-2005 are selected as sample. The empirical results indicate that firms with good corporate governance and bad business performance are most likely to encounter operating-failure financial distress. Furthermore, the corporate governance moderates the sensitivity of the operating-failure financial distress to profitability.
