Then it provides a view of the crucial effect of CEO characteristics in strengthening the impact of accounting information quality on a company's value. Practical Implication: Companies must pay attention to the financial report information and CEO characteristics such as CEO tenure, CEO gender, and CEO educational background in order to increase company value.
