The purpose of this paper is to investigate the difference in the value relevance of operating cash flow and earnings in stock price before and after the mandatory IFRS adoption. The study basically uses Feltham and Ohlson (1995), Joos (1997) and other related studies valuation model. Using a sample of firms from 3 IFRS countries from 2003 to 2012, we find that operating cash flows seem to be more value relevance than earnings within and across country border after a switch to IFRS in Australia and the UK, and earnings seem to be more value relevance than operating cash flows in France. Additionally, Operating cash flow and earnings convey incremental explanatory power to explain share prices in Australia, France and the UK. After a switch to IFRS in 2005, our study shows that the difference in account number (operating cash flows and earnings) reduces across country border but increases within country when both the IFRS and local accounting standards are used. Taken together, our findings suggests that after a swift to the mandatory IFRS adoption, even though income statement and the statement of cash flow are very vital for strategic decisions, investors in Australia and UK are more likely to pay more value relevance to the statement of cash flow than income statement whereas in France, income state is more required than statement of cash flow.

Purpose This paper aims to investigate the specification and power of tests based on the DD and modified DD model through the UK data between years 2000 and 2013, and make comparisons with tests using working capital accruals creating a measure of accruals quality as the standard deviation of the residuals value from firm-specific regressions base on working capital accruals on last, current and one-year-ahead cash flows from operations. Design/methodology/approach This study focuses both on the DD model and modified DD model to find out which of them can more accurately capture total working capital accrual estimation error and accrual quality. According to the DD model, the past, current and future net cash from operating activities as the three years’ operating cash inflows or outflows become omitted and correlated variables. In this study, the authors continue to document residuals from the DD and MDD models to demonstrate properties that are more consistent with behaviours of accruals estimation errors. Therefore, in this study, the authors are looking to compare the results from both the MDD and DD models and find which one of them is more effective in explaining the working capital accruals in the UK. Findings The authors find that adding additional explanatory variables may add additional explanatory power of variables to the DD model and extent to which accruals map into cash flow insights based on the UK data. This study is empirically well fitting with the internal workings of cash flows. As investors fixate only on the accounting earnings, they may fail to reflect fully on information contained within cash flow components and working capital accruals of current and future earnings. Originality/value The authors compare different equation to cover more items of working capital accruals. In addition, after examining earnings and accrual quality, the findings show that the average UK company behaviour was quite similar to the behaviour that was founded earlier for both models in the USA. Furthermore, this study results show that more volatility of sales, cash flow, accruals and earnings make a lower accrual quality. The results demonstrate that both models can capture the power to predict working capital accruals. Moreover, we find that adding additional explanatory variable of employee growth rate adds additional explanatory variables to DD model.

This paper attempts to fill a void in the finance literature by reporting the reliability of theoretical valuation models against the market values of banking corporations. The dividend, operating cash flows and the free cash flow valuation approaches are operationalised to estimate fair values of banks. These values are then compared with market values. This results, using the Theil’s U-coefficient, show that the operating cash flow approach provides estimates that are better than the naïve model estimates. The other two approaches produced results no better than the naïve model. A probable reason for the poor performance of the free cash flow approach is suggested. Outsider’s estimation of investment values needed for free cash flow calculation is likely to introduce serious errors irrespective of the theoretical bases of models widely used in the industry.

This study aims to determine the effect of asset structure, operating cash flow, and profitability on debt policy in property and real estate companies in the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2013-2017. The analytical method used is multiple linear regression, F test and t test. The results of the analysis of this study indicate that the structure of assets, operating cash flows, and profitability have a simultaneous effect on debt policy. Meanwhile the analysis partially shows that the asset structure, operating cash flows, and profitability do not partially affect debt policy.

This study to get empirical evidence that the EVA, MVA, Residual income, Earnings and operating cash flow affect the return earned by shareholders, either partially or simultaneously. The sampling method used was purposive sampling, with the criteria of the company that is always inclouded in the LQ-45 index listed in the Indonesia Stock Exchange (BEI) during the observation period of 2011-2014. Companies used in the sample have a positifve data. The analytical method used was multiple linear regression test. The result of this study concluded that the MVA, residual income and operating cash flows simultaneously affected the return earned by shareholders. MVA partially had no effect on returns received by shareholders. Residual income partially had an effect on returns received by shareholders. Operating cash flow partially had an influence on return received by shareholders. The second and the fifth hypothesis in this study could not be tested because EVA variables and earnings experienced multi co linearity, thus it was excluded from the study. Keywords : EVA, MVA, Residual income, Earnings, operating cash flows and stock returns

Research in corporate financial reporting identifies two important roles of accounting accruals. First, accruals smooth fluctuations in operating cash flows. Second, accruals allow recognition of losses in an asymmetric timely manner. While these two roles imply different relations between individual accrual components and operating cash flow news, prior research often focuses on the properties of aggregate accruals. We investigate the role of individual accrual components and identify asymmetry in the relation of investment with operating cash flow news as a confounding factor. We show that this investment factor operates through depreciation and amortization accruals, which typically account for the bulk of aggregate accruals. Overall, our article demonstrates the importance of adopting a granular approach to identifying the different roles of individual accrual components.

Investors in investing always expect high stock returns. Therefore, investors should be able to assess which companies have good performance, so the stock return is also high. The financial statements, particularly those relating to information on changes in operating cash flows and corporate accounting profit, are one of the important information that can be used by investors to assess company performance. This study aims to provide empirical evidence related to the effect of operating cash flow and accounting earnings on stock returns. The data in this study is secondary data obtained from the company's annual financial statements in Indonesia Capital Market Directory (ICMD) and Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). This study was conducted using the company population of the company winning the investment award (best issues) 2017 listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2015 and 2016. The result of this research is partially variable of operating cash flow (AKO) have positive and significant effect to stock return, while partially, variable of accountancy profit (LAK) have no effect to stock return and simultaneously variable operating cash flow (AKO) and change of accountancy profit (LAK) jointly have a significant effect on stock returns in the company's winning investment award (best issues) 2017 listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2015 and 2016. Keywords: Operating Cash Flow, Accounting Profit, and Stock Return

The aim of this research is to investigate earnings relative ability, operating cash flow, and two traditional criteria of cash flow, that is, net earnings plus depreciation and operating working capital in predicting operating future cash flows. Further, the effect of firm size on the ability to predict these criteria is investigated in this research. The sample firms contain listed companies in Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE) over the period 2005-2009. The results show that net earnings relative to operating cash flows and its traditional criteria have greater ability to predict future cash flows in small firms whereas operating cash flows compared with other criteria are better predictors in big firms. Results indicate thatthe predictability of all models increases considerably when firm size increases.
