This study examines the abnormal stock returns of the 45 pilot companies finishing their non-tradable share reform to determine whether tradable shareholders gain profits from this non-tradable share reform. By employing event study analysis, we find that tradable shareholders do gain profits from the non-tradable share reform. The average abnormal return of the 45 pilot companies was 10.62% on the resumption trading day after they finished their non-tradable share reform, which was statistically significant. We also find that the average abnormal return of high-compensation package group is significantly higher than that of low-compensation package group.展开更多

With almost two-thirds of the outstanding shares of the stock market owned by the central government, investors are wary of the potential sell-off by the government that would inevitably dilute the value of their stock holdings. In this paper, we review the state share reform that aims at solving the dilemma that the central government faces： releasing billions of dollars of government＇s capital locked up in the nontradable stocks of the state-owned enterprises （SOEs） without suppressing the stock prices. We also discuss the alternative of using exchange traded funds （ETFs） as a complementary means to expediting the state share conversion process.展开更多

This paper conducts an in-depth analysis on auditing problems in the process of the SOEs reform from managerial points of view, makes the suggestion that we should introduce governmental audit into the auditing supervision of the SOEs reform, and discusses its methods, approaches, contents and procedures in detail. This paper also indicates the possible obstacles of implementing this suggestion.展开更多
