ABSTRACT Purpose: To analyze the impact of extreme earnings and cash flows on the persistence, value relevance, and accruals quality of Brazilian public firms. Originality/gap/relevance/implications: The present study contributes to the literature by analyzing extreme earnings and cash flows. Because they change the results of the period in which they occur in an unusual manner, this study suggests that studying their behaviors and impacts on the quality of the information disclosed by companies tends to contribute to optimal decision making in the capital market. Key methodological aspects: The analyzed sample comprised non-financial public companies traded on the BM&FBovespa stock exchange from 2005 to 2014, with estimates made using quantile regression. Summary of key results: The main results indicate that cash flows are more persistent than earnings because the accruals component of the latter makes them less persistent. Extreme values of both earnings and cash flows affect the persistence of these variables, with a strong and negative effect on cash flows. Finally, extreme values of accruals negatively affect accruals quality because, compared to moderate quantiles, they significantly alter the standard deviation of extreme quantiles. Key considerations/conclusions: The presence of extreme values in this study's focus variables negatively influenced market information quality, reducing its predictive power and, consequently, its relevance. Furthermore, controlling for extreme values, it was possible to observe the incremental information content of these two metrics.

The objectives of the research are to examine the impact of adoption of IFRS in Indonesia on quality of financial statement information in terms of relevance and reliability and to examines information asymetry. The Relevance is measured by combined value relevance of book value of equity and net income, reliability is measured by absolute discretionary accrual as an inverse measure, and information asymetry is measured by bid ask spread. Data were collected from the financial statements of the manufacture companies that listed at Indonesia Stock Exchange. Research conduct in 6 years (2009-2014). By using purposive sampling and balanced panel data, there are 31 companies fulfilling the sample criteria. Multiple linier regression and paired sample t-test model is used to test the hypothesis. The results showed that there is an increasing quality of financial statement information after the adoption of IFRS but no difference in information asymmetry after the adoption of IFRS

Because manufacturing companies have large asset values, they will faceseveral business risks such as making earnings management. Companies with earnings managementcan result in a collapse of the company.The purpose of this study is to be able to analyze the impact of the effect between earningsmanagement and information asymmetry in manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia StockExchange (IDX), with the ultimate goal of recommending policies to improve manufacturingmanagement. In this study the type of research is explanatory research using a quantitative approach.The data analysis in this study uses multiple linear regression analysis and path analysis (Pathanalysis) on the financial statements of 300 manufacturing companies from 2013 to 2017.In this study the results for manufacturing companies listed on the Stock Exchange for the period2013-2017 the results are as follows: H1 testing shows that the earnings management withinformation asymmetry has a significant effect.

We investigate the impact of majority shareholder that categories as large shareholder, family ownership and institution ownership on the firm performance measured bu accounting performance ROA and market performance namely Tobin Q. This research concentrate on Consumer Goods Sector Companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) covering from year 2011 to year 2014. We use unbalanced panel data analysis. After controlling with firm specific variables; such as size of company, age, leverage, growth and macro economic variables, we find that large shareholder without knowing who the owners are do not effect the firm performance. However, when the family and institution become dominance in controlling the company, market reacts negatively. It might occur because market perceives negative effect of disgorging cash by family and institutional that cause lower distribution profit for other minority shareholder in the market. Our finding provides the signal for company which majority of shareholder need to provide more transparance report on flowing the cash flows of company. Additionally for the new investors who expect to have capital gain on the investment must take fully concern on this condition, because their value of investment could decrease and get loss if they invest in this type of companies.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the effect of the Covid-19 pandemic on the quality of accounting information in terms of accrual quality and value relevance. This study uses a sample of companies listed on stock exchanges in five ASEAN countries, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand, for the period 2009-2020. OLS pooled regression model was estimated with panel data. The results showed that the COVID-19 pandemic impacted earnings quality, but not on value relevance of accounting information quality. Enforcement of accounting and auditing standards can reduce the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in improving earnings quality. However, investor protection is not adequate to improve the quality of accounting information during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In this paper we analyzed the link between companies’ performance, in terms of cash and income, and the labor productivity or management rates, in case of the companies from the energy sector listed on the Bucharest Stock Exchange. We focused on the energy sector because of the impact that its expansion has on the evolution of economies around the world and because of its dynamics in the sense of gradually shifting to the use of energy from renewable sources. We have used panel regression models to analyze the operating cash flow and the profitability rates and the determination of a causal or dependency relationship with labor productivity or management rates. The results of this study show a significant negative correlation between operating cash flows and the average duration of stock rotation, and no correlation between productivity and the operating cash flow. Instead, the average duration of stock turnover does not at all influence the profitability rates, and productivity is always significant for the return on assets, ie forthe return on equitywith a positive coefficient, as expected. The gap between the average duration of payment of suppliers and the average duration of receivables does not significantly influence neither the cash flow nor the rates of return.

Purpose This study aims to examine the value relevance of earnings in terms of predicting the value variables such as cash flow, capital investment (CI), dividend and stock return under the Indian institutional settings. Design/methodology/approach The study used panel Granger causality tests to examine causality relationships among variables and panel data regression models to check the statistical associations between earnings and value variables. Findings Based on a data set of 7,280 Bombay Stock Exchange-listed firm-years spanning over ten years from March 2009 to March 2018, the results show higher sensitivity of earnings toward cash flows, CI, divided and stock return and vice-versa. Further, the findings deduced from the empirical results demonstrate that earnings are positively related to value variables. Overall, the results established that earnings are value-relevant and have predictive ability to forecast the value variables that facilitate investors in portfolio valuation. The results are consistent with the predictive view of the value relevance of earnings. Several robustness checks confirm these results. Originality/value This study brings new empirical evidence from a distinct capital market, India, and provides a new facet to the value relevance debate in terms of its prediction view. The study is among earlier attempts that jointly measure the ability of earnings in forecasting different value variables by taking a uniform sample of firms at the same period. Hence, the study provides a comprehensive view of the predictive ability of reported earnings.
