Abstract
Customer concentration and corporate violations are two important research areas of corporate governance, but there are few studies that combine the customer concentration and corporate violations. The research in this paper finds that customer concentration has two effects on corporate violations: financial distress effects and governance effect. At the same time, through further analysis, it is found that the nature of property rights of enterprises will also have an impact on the relationship between the customer concentration and corporate violations.
