But in recent years, some listing corporations frequently occur irregularities of accounting information disclosure. this will not only greatly blow to investor confidence, but also go against to the development of china’s capital market, so companies need to address the decline in the quality of accounting information disclosure of listed from the root of the problem. According to China’s imperfect market mechanism status, and in the short term, it is difficult to qualitative change, therefore the urgent task is to solve the problem of poor quality of accounting information from internal governance structure.The board of directors is the core of the internal corporate governance, play the role of mainstay.
