Level Analysis

This study investigates whether the direct method of presenting cash flows from operations is superior to the indirect method in its ability to forecast future cash flows. It also considers the effect of industry characteristics on the relative usefulness of direct and indirect methods of cash flow presentation. The study, which uses a sample of Australian firms, finds that both the direct and indirect methods improve the forecast of future cash flows. However, the indirect method of reporting cash flows from operations is more relevant than the direct method in predicting future cash flows. Evidence from the industry-level analysis overall reinforces the main results.

In February 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Concepts No. 7, Using Cash Flow Information and Present Value in Accounting Measurements.  In this document the FASB asserts without proof that a present value computation along its lines will provide a good estimate of the fair value of an asset or liability.  Using numerical examples provided by the FASB, we attempt to construct arguments in support of the FASB’s claim.  We find that such arguments require strong and not at all obvious assumptions about players in hypothetical markets.

Flow Components

Corporate financial ratios have been debated in the past as the most importance measures in predicting corporate failure, yet gaps remain in the literature about cash flow information in classifying between bankrupted and non-bankrupted firms. This study test whether cash flow components is more useful in classifying bankrupted and non-bankrupted of small and unlisted firms in Spain. The results of this study suggest that cash flows components are superior to financial ratios for classifying small failed and non-failed companies with the logit model. Particularly, most failing firms, reduce or avoid paying dividend to their owner. This reduction or the absence of dividend payments as a proportion of total outflow is often related to either a significant decrease in the net operating inflow and/or an increase in the relative outflow to fixed charges resulting from increased external debt financing.

The Impact

We examine changes in voluntary disclosure of balance sheet and cash flow (BS/CF) information in earnings releases after restatement announcements. We consider these disclosures to be particularly relevant in the restatement context since they help investors interpret accruals and assess reporting quality at a time when information uncertainty is high. We find that BS/CF disclosures drop significantly for at least five quarters following restatement announcements, particularly for severe restatements and those restatements more likely to lead to litigation, and less for firms likely to benefit from reputation-repairing activities. We next consider the impact of BS/CF changes on earnings informativeness and find significantly lower post-restatement earnings response coefficients for firms ceasing BS/CF disclosure, but not otherwise. Overall, we argue that litigation concerns provide a strong disincentive for disclosure following restatement announcements. Our findings add to a growing literature on the importance of disaggregated BS/CF information in interpreting accruals.

Flow Information

This study provides an empirical examination of the determinants of the choice between alternative share repurchase methods. It is shown that the likelihood of selecting a self-tender offer over an open market share repurchase increases with the repurchasing firm's agency costs of free cash flow, inside ownership percentage, leverage, prebuyback stock performance, and the magnitude of cash involved in the transaction. The empirical evidence is consistent with the free cash flow, information-signaling, and managerial entrenchment hypotheses contributing toward explaining the choice of repurchase method among firms. The study concludes that the two repurchase methods appear to serve different purposes for the repurchasing firm.
