Download or read book Do Municipal Bond Markups Reflect Accounting Quality written by Angela K. Gore and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We examine whether accounting measures of information uncertainty - specifically, the presence of internal control problems - impact municipal bond markups. Markups are the differences between the prices paid by investors and those stipulated in the underwriting agreement, and are a source of compensation to bond dealers. Markups are controversial in part because they are not transparent and individual investors comprise a large portion of the investor base. Primary findings suggest that municipal bonds issued by entities with a material weakness in internal controls exhibit larger markups. Findings are magnified under circumstances of greater information asymmetry between issuers and investors, such as for revenue bond issuances, delayed release of financial information, and retail investor trades. Moreover, bonds issued by entities with material weaknesses remain in dealer inventory significantly longer before eventual sale to investors. Our evidence is consistent with markups reflecting compensation to underwriters for the additional risk and effort involved in placing bonds issued by entities with serious accounting problems.
