    摘要: Annual report readability determines the quality of communication between a company and its stakeholders. Courtis (1998) raised the obfuscation hypothesis and suggested that worse annual report readability implies a poor financial performance of the company because of the manager`s tendency to hide bad news. This is clear for events within the company, but not so clear for events in the macroeconomy. This study is the first one to do research on investigating annual report readability within the financial industry in Taiwan and also the first one to investigate the impact of macro-economic events on annual report readability. This study uses regression to explore the relationship between annual report readability, macro-economic events, and accounting performance. The results of this study suggest that the annual report readability in the Taiwanese financial sector has a significant negative relationship with ROE but a positive one with EPS. Besides, this study finds no obvious evidence to support the obfuscation hypothesis. Finally, this study also indicates that macro-economic events do have an impact on annual report readability, but only the year of the outbreak of Covid-19 has a significant relationship with it, and annual report readability in the banking sector is more highly affected by macro-economic events than that in the non-banking sector.
