Abstract
In the present study, we investigate the relationship between corporate governance and accounting conservatism. We examine our model in the context of French firms over the period 2007-2011. We predict that an effective set of corporate governance mechanisms is positively related to a higher level of accounting conservatism. Empirical tests show that accounting conservatism depends mainly on the effectiveness of the board, the management shareholding, and the audit quality.
