"Because CFOs’ primary responsibility is financial reporting, CFO incentives should play a stronger role than those of the CEO. We find that the magnitude of accruals and the likelihood of beating analyst forecasts are more sensitive to CFO equity incentives than to those of the CEO. Our evidence supports the SEC’s new disclosure requirement on CFO compensation."
Given our text begins with a description of the roles of each of the executives at the firm, this is PERFECTLY timed.
