The paper investigates the securities investment and the capital structures of Chinese listed companies during 2004—2011.We find that the size of financial assets has been increased significantly under the fair value accounting because of the value - relevance principle as well as the timing recognition of unrealized gains on available - for - sale securities.Furthermore,the securities investment under the fair value accounting lead to an increased debt risk related to the interest - bearing debts.The conclusion reveals that the fair value accounting has a real impact on the financial risk.
