Quality Of Accounting Information

ABSTRACT This paper investigates, in the Brazilian stock market, the effect of hedge accounting on the quality of financial information, on the disclosure of derivative financial instruments, and on the information asymmetry. To measure the quality of accounting information, relevance metrics of accounting information and book earnings informativeness were used. For executing this research, a general sample was obtained through Brazilian companies, non-financial, listed on the Brazilian Securities, Commodities, and Futures Exchange (BM&FBOVESPA), comprising the 150 companies with highest market value on 01/01/2014. Through the general sample, samples were compiled for applying the econometric models of value relevance, informativeness, disclosure, and information asymmetry. The sample for relevance had 758 companies-years observations within the period from 2008 to 2013; the sample for informativeness had 701 companies-years observations with the period from 2008 to 2013; the sample for disclosure had 100 companies-years observations, within the period from 2011 to 2012; the sample for information asymmetry had 100 companies-years observations, also related to the period from 2011 to 2012. In addition to the econometric models, the propensity score matching method was applied to the analyses of the hedge accounting effect on disclosure and information asymmetry. The evidence found for the influence of hedge accounting indicates a relation: (i) positive and significant concerning accounting information relevance and disclosure of derivatives; (ii) negative and significant for book earnings informativeness. Regarding information asymmetry, although the coefficients showed up as expected, they were not statistically significant.

The Board Of Directors

One of the board of directors' responsibilities is to monitor the quality of information disclosed in financial reports. The board's structural and compositional characteristics can affect the quality of reported accounting information. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of the board's structural and compositional characteristics on the quality of accounting information of companies listed on the Brazilian Securities, Commodities, and Futures Exchange (Bolsa de Mercadorias e Futuros - BM&FBovespa). Specifically, the characteristics studied were the size and independence of the board of directors and separation of the roles of chairman and executive director. Accounting information relevance and earnings informativeness were used as proxies for the quality of accounting information. The sample included non-financial companies listed on the BM&FBovespa with annual stock market liquidity higher than 0.001, covering the period from 2008–2011. Data were collected from the Economática® database and directly from companies' annual reports and reference forms available on the Securities Commission (Comissão de Valores Mobiliários - CVM) or BM&FBovespawebsites. Data analysis was undertaken using the multiple regression technique for calculating the models of accounting information relevance and earnings informativeness. The results reveal that, for companies that trade stocks on the BM&FBovespa in the Brazilian market, the characteristics of board independence and separation of the roles of chairman and executive director positively influence the quality of reported accounting information, specifically regarding the relevance of equity. Earnings informativeness is positively affected by board independence and negatively affected by larger board size (more than nine members). Overall, the results corroborate international studies such as those of Vafeas (2000), Firth, Fung, and Rui (2007), Ahmed, Hossain, and Adams (2006) and Dimitropoulos and Asteriou (2010), especially regarding board independence. The study showsthat stronger governance structures have a positive effect on the quality of reported accounting information.

The Impact

The quality of accounting information cannot be separated from the adopted accounting standards. More than 87% of countries worldwide have implemented IFRS standards as financial guidelines in their countries. The goal of IFRS is to make companies more transparent and flexible in producing accounting information based on which users can predict future investment values. The purpose of this article is a systematic literature review on the quality of accounting information associated with adopting IFRS. The sample of this study - 125 articles reviewed in four main classifications: research subject areas, measurement of accounting information quality, theoretical approaches, and research methods. Previous research was obtained from online databases such as Science Direct, Emerald Group, Sage Journal, and Taylor & Francis. The PICO framework in this study was applied to minimize bias from previous studies. The analysis results show that average the most articles on the quality of accounting information were found in journals categorized in the accounting field. Most studies have been found on the European continent regarding the quality of accounting information – 52 (37.7%). Determining the quality of accounting information requires several tests. As a result, 49 (38.8%) and 47 (37.1%) articles emphasize the accrual test model and value relevance model in assessing the quality of accounting information. The results show that 56 articles (44.8%) use the regression analysis method to test value relevance, accrual, and timely loss reporting models.

The Impact

The objective of this article is to analyze the impact of the early adoption of IFRS on the value relevance of accounting information among the CAC 40 listed companies.In our study we adopted the Ohlson (1995) models in order to study the value relevance of accounting information. Our data was collected manually .The period 2002-2004 was used as the pre anticipation of the IFRS and the period 2004-2006 was used as the post anticipation of the IFRS .The problem therefore of our research is the following is: What is the effect of the early adoption of IFRS on the quality of the accounting information?In the study, our estimates focused on two panels: panel A and panel B. After analyzing the various estimates we found that the early adoption of IFRS has enabled companies in panel A, companies which adopted IFRS in an anticipated manner, to provide investors with accounting information with greater value relevance compared to the companies of panel B.Thanks to this study we can confirm that the early adoption of IFRS significantly enhanced the quality of accounting information for panel A.

The present doctoral thesis aims to study the issues of value relevance and quality of accounting information within the context of the Greek capital market. Using a sample of Greek listed firms from all business sectors (including banking institutions) and applying alternative methodologies, we examined the main factors (internal and exrternal) which shape and determine the value relevance of accounting information. Our empirical evidence indicate that earnings (more than any other accounting figure) cash flows, common equity and accruals seem to have significant impact on investor‟s desicions and contribute to the valuation process of the Greek listed firms. Also the quality of accounting information seems to be positively affected from the efficiency of corporate governance, the adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the quality of statutory audits. On the contrary, speculation and the adoption of the euro currency by the Greek government in 2001 have impacted negatively in the quality of accounting information.

Mandatory Adoption

The mandatory adoption of IFRS has been encouraged worldwide, with the objective to enhance the quality of accounting information. However, this effort is challenged by the argument that several factors affecting financial reporting incentives still vary across countries. Also, Gaio (2010) indicates that firm-level factors also have significant explanatory power on earning quality. Therefore, it is doubtful whether the mandatory adoption of IFRS can always lead to better quality of accounting information. This paper examines the effect of country-level and firm-level factors on value relevance of earnings and book value of equity. Among several country-level factors, this paper focuses on investor protection - proxied by anti-director right index (La Porta et al., 1998). In this study, firm-level factors refer to firm characteristics which allow or induce high use of managerial discretion. These characteristics are proxied by firm size, cash flow volatility, sales volatility, and incidence of negative earnings. Different from prior literatures which focus on level of value relevance, this paper examines the effect of country-level and firm-level factors on change in value relevance of earnings and book value of equity, arisen from the mandatory adoption of IFRS in the year 2005. By comparing value relevance of earnings and book value of equity among European Union countries during the years 1999-2007, the results indicate that the adoption of IFRS leads to improvement in value relevance. In addition, both country-level and firm-level factors have significant influence on the degree of improvement in value relevance from the IFRS adoption. In particular, the firms which operate in a weak investor protection environment and have firm characteristics which induce or allow the managers to use high managerial discretion (i.e., small size, high cash flow volatility, high sales volatility, and frequent incidences of loss) do not experience significant improvement in value relevance from IFRS adoption. The results imply that the IFRS adoption does not ensure better quality of accounting information. The improvement of the quality of accounting information depends on both country and firm characteristics, which influence financial reporting incentives.

The Impact

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.

Quality Of Accounting Information

PurposeThe survival rate of newly listed firms is low, and there is evidence of a surge of poorly performing new listed firms leading up to the crash of the dot.com bubble. The author investigates this phenomenon and analyzes investors' ability to understand the quality of accounting information and to adjust their expectations.Design/methodology/approachThe author employs the dividend discount model in conjunction with clean surplus accounting discussed by Ohlson (1995) to compare the value relevance of earnings and research and development (R&D) expenditures for short and longer listed National Association of Security Dealer Automated Quotations (NASDAQ) firms between 1980 and 2014. The author also uses univariate tests and logistic regression to analyze both recently listed and short-listed firms. In this analysis, the author compares the differences in investors' expectations for the first five years for both types of firms.FindingsThe author provides convincing evidence that markets clearly placed lower valuation weights on accounting earnings and R&D expenditures for short-listed firms on NASDAQ. Market participants originally had high expectations for these ventures. But, they gradually understood the lower quality of accounting information and adjusted their expectations downward.Originality/valueThe author’s results show that optimistic expectations along with easy equity financing created a surge of new listings. My analysis of the interplay between the quality of accounting information and investors' expectations indicates a negative spillover effect where investors are overoptimistic about firms that rode on waves of new listings backed by liberal financing. The author shows that analysis of Tobin's Q and negative earnings can separate ill-prepared from longer-listed firms.
