Firstly, this paper finds that tight monetary policy aggravates the firms financial constraints, while the accounting conservatism releases the firms financial constraints; secondly, accounting conservatism helps weaken the negative effect of tight monetary policy; finally, the negative influence of tight monetary policy is more significant on non state owned enterprises, and the alleviating effect of accounting conservatism is more significant on non state owned enterprises.
