Accounting becomes more and more important with the development of economy. As an information system, it provides important reference data for economic policy-making. So, accounting information tops the concerns of information-users and the society expects it genuine and effective.However, some enterprise managers who take privilege on information collection always cheat on accounting information for causes of various kinds. As a result, accounting information is not able to reflect exactly enterprises' economic essence and decision-makers could possibly undertake great losses after taking cheated accounting information. As we know, the capital market is originally established to optimize the distribution of social and economic resources. Nevertheless, with cheating behaviors running rampant, the optimization could not be fully played and the capital market becomes one of the means for those cheats to take private interests. Since last year, major capital markets both at home and abroad have been damaged by cheated accounting information, which give stock-holders a heavy beat and bring serious negative effects to the overall marketed economy.
