The purpose of this study is to question the basic assumption of the higher value relevance (meaning its superior ability to represent the value of assets and liabilities) of the International Accounting Standard (IAS-IFRS), as compared to Italian accounting practices. Value relevance refers to the vast literature which investigates if and how financial data includes useful information for investors; in other words, if it represents a robust basis for their investment decisions. Analyzing both Anglo-Saxon and other European countries, the literature shows a heterogeneous scenario and divergent results. Unlike previous studies, this study links market and book values by means of the price to book value ratio, considering a sample of Italian listed companies on the Mercato Telematico Azionario, the main segment of the Italian Stock Exchange. Moreover, to strengthen the empirical results the research takes into account a longer period (1996-2015), bearing in mind the change in Italian accounting practices occurring in 2005 as a result of the adoption of IAS-IFRS. The study is consistent with that part of the literature which argues that the accounting discipline underlying IAS-IFRS shows a discrepancy between its theoretical purpose of expressing the current value of a company and its applicable accounting standards. In this respect, the results obtained are somewhat different from the mainstream view, suggesting that the introduction of the IAS-IFRS does not contribute to reducing the gap between the stock market capitalization and the respective book value of a company. Therefore, the Italian national accounting discipline, based on conservative accounting, quite surprisingly appears more value relevant; in other words, it seems to be more able to capture the business value assumed by investors.

Background: This study tests the value relevance of interim accounting information. The study also explores whether the value relevance of annual and interim financial statements has changed over time.Aim: It explores whether the value relevance of interim financial statements is higher than the value relevance of annual financial statements. Finally, it investigates whether accounting information published in interim and annual financial statements has incremental value relevance.Setting: Data for the period from 1999 to 2012 were collected from a sample of non-financial companies listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange.Method: The Ohlson model to investigate the value relevance of accounting information was used for the study.Results: The results show that interim book value of equity is value relevant while interim earnings are not. Interim financial statements appear to have higher value relevance than annual financial statements. The value relevance of interim and annual accounting information has remained fairly constant over the sample period. Incremental comparisons provide evidence that additional book value of equity and earnings that accrue to a company between interim and annual reporting dates are value relevant.Conclusion: The study was conducted over a long sample period (1999–2012), in an era when a technology-driven economy and more timely reporting media could have had an effect on the value relevance of published accounting information. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to evaluate and compare the value relevance of published interim and annual financial statements.

The audit committee (AC) is the potential mechanism that reduces the agency problems in organizations and investigating this mechanism separate from alternate corporate governance mechanisms may have led to different results in the literature. The aim of this study is to examine the impact of audit committee on value relevance of accounting information of listed hotels and travels in Sri Lanka. Value relevance of accounting information is measured by earning per share (EPS) and book value per share (BVPS) while Audit committee consists of AC size, AC independence, AC experts and AC meetings. The sample consists of 15 hotels and travels listed in Colombo Stock Exchange. In this study, data was collected from secondary sources and hypotheses are examined by using Pearson’s correlation and regression analysis. The results reveal that audit committee attributes such as AC size, AC experts and AC meetings have a significant impact on book value per share of listed hotels and travels in Sri Lanka. Further only AC experts influence earnings per share. AC independence is not found to have a significant impact on the value relevance of accounting information. The findings could be useful to regulators in other jurisdiction who are looking at ways to enhance the effectiveness of audit committee, overall firm governance.

Purpose – Anecdotal concerns expressed regarding developed capital markets suggest that the information provided in financial statements has lost its value relevance to equity holders over time. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the issue from the perspective of Kuwait, which is a frontier market. Design/methodology/approach – Consistent with prior research, the design employs the price regression model. A total of 2,490 observations were collected from all firms listed on the Kuwait Stock Exchange (KSE) over a period of 21 years (1994-2014). Findings – Although this study documents a notable decline in both the value relevance of earnings and book value for equity holders over this period, the results suggest that the decline in the value relevance of earnings was deeper and more pronounced than that of book value. Practical implications – Because a fundamental prerequisite for the value relevance of accounting information is the quality of the financial reporting environment, the results are useful for regulators because they provide an assessment of the effectiveness of the current financial reporting environment. The results highlight the need for improvements because higher-quality information helps equity holders to determine value more precisely. As the timely dissemination of financial statements is an essential ingredient contributing to the relevance of financial statements, a direct implication of the study’s findings for the management of KSE companies is that timely reporting of financial statements may mitigate the observed decline of the value relevance of financial statements produced by KSE companies. Originality/value – This study contributes to the capital market research regarding changes in the value relevance of financial statement information through an empirical examination of a frontier capital market.

This research aimed to empirically determine the value relevance of price to book value (PBV) and technical efficiency (TE) within Category-IV banks in Indonesia Stock Exchange in the time horizon of 1Q2007 to 4Q2015. This research uses time series and quarterly-published financial statement from the listed Category-IV banks. In term of variables that determine PBV by using panel least square, the research reveals that pre-provision operating profit (PPOP) and return on total assets (ROTA) have positive and significant effect towards PBV, while non-performing loan (NPL) and dividend yield have negative and significant effect towards PBV. Contrarily, firm size has negative and insignificant effect towards PBV. Additionally, the result of data envelopment analysis (DEA) which is used to measure technical efficiency, indicates that PT. Bank Mandiri Tbk. (BMRI) is the most efficient Category-IV bank. BMRI led with average technical efficiency score of 98.95%, followed by PT. Bank Rakyat Indonesia Tbk. (BBRI) 98.02%, PT. Bank Negara Indonesia Tbk. (BBNI) 96.04% and PT. Bank Central Asia Tbk. 94.94%. The average technical efficiency of Category-IV banks within the period of research is 96.99%.

The purpose of this paper is twofold. First, the paper illustrates which comparables selection method provides the most accurate forecasts by using multiples. Firms listed on the Milan stock exchange from 2000 to 2006 were analyzed. Comparable firms were selected by activity sector, sector and size, sector and ROA, ROA and size, and were averaged with the arithmetic mean, median, and harmonic mean. Twelve multiple valuation methods were analyzed. The empirical results suggest that the selection of comparable firms on the basis of sector and ROA or sector and size are the most accurate criteria. Valuation improves when multiples are averaged using a median relative to arithmetic and harmonic mean. Moreover, in order to test which multiples are most effective to value a company, the main multiples were considered and I analyzed how factors such as sector, size and year bias these outcomes. The results show that the multiples based on cash flows are almost always significant; the multiples based on earnings are most significant in industrial sectors, in particular for small firms with many intangible assets; the multiples on book value appear most effective for non-industrial firms.

Using Data

This paper examines the effect of corporate governance and earnings management on the value relevance of accounting information. Using data collected from the annual reports of non-financial companies listed in Pakistan Stock Exchange, it is concluded that earnings and book value are value relevant. The value relevance of earnings decreases while the value relevance of book value increases for the firms engaged in the earnings management. On the contrary, good corporate governance practices have a positive impact on the value relevance of earnings as well as the book value. Firm-specific characteristics enhance the predictive power of the model by more than 14%. A robustness test was carried out for alternative measures of earnings management. For this purpose, first performance-matched discretionary accruals were calculated following Kothari et al. (2005). Second, short-term accruals (DeChow, 1994), long-term accruals (Teoh et al., 1998b) and total accruals (Whelan, 2004), are calculated to analyze the effect on the value relevance of earnings and book value. The results support our null hypothesis.

Sustainability Report

This study aims to obtain empirical evidence about the effect of sustainability reporting as a moderating variable on value relevance concept. Prior studies suggest that sustainability report can enhance the company’s financial performance which has similar context with value relevance. This study modifies Ohlson Model (1995) with additional moderating variable to capture the effect of sustainability reporting in Indonesia. The population in this study is all public listed company in Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2016. Pair matching and purposive sampling is used as a sampling method to collect 76 samples. The results of this study show sustainability reporting failed to indicate its moderating effect both on the interaction with earning and book value. Nevertheless, value relevance of group who published the sustainability report is higher than the opposite group. As a final result, this study provides empirical evidence that sustainability report cannot increase the firm value in value relevance model but could increase the level of value relevance itself.
