The aim of this study is to investigate whether the two types of accounting conservatism (conditional and unconditional) mitigate the risk of falling operating cash flows in the presence of cash holdings of Jordanian companies for the period from (2005–2014) for a sample of (160) companies listed in Amman Stock Exchange (ASE). By using the principle components analysis method in the SPSS system to generate a composite measure for the measurement of the conditional conservatism (CC_CM) consisting of three measures: negative accruals (CC_NACC), current accruals to total accruals (CC_CACC), and accounting conservatism to the good news (CC_ACGN). As well as to generate another composite measure for the measurement of the unconditional conservatism (UC_CM) consisting of three measures: total accrual (UC_TACC), book to market (UC_BTM) ratio, and skewness (UC_Skew). In order to measure the downside risk of operating cash flows, we used the root lower partial moment of operating cash flow (RLPM_OCF). We find that two types of accounting conservatism are significantly positively effect on cash holdings. In addition, we conclude that there is a significantly negatively indirect effect for accounting conservatism on downside risk of operating cash flows in Jordanian companies that have cash holdings. It means that the increasing of the accounting conservatism leads to the increasing of cash holdings, which leads to mitigate the operating cash flows downside risk.

Timely recognition of losses and expenses compared to revenues and increased values precipitates future expenses to match with current revenues. Thus, timely recognition of losses acts to reduce the persistence of earnings. However, it is expected that a more timely recognition of negative cash flows, as bad news, increase the power of earnings for predicting future cash flows. This study investigates the effects of the timely recognition of bad news (loss) versus the good news on the decrease of the persistence of earnings, and the effect of negative cash flows on forecasting future cash flows. In this study, two pooling type models and a panel type model have been used to estimate the persistence of earnings and cash flows. Seventy eight firms that were listed in the Tehran Stock Exchange during the period 2003–2010 were duly reviewed. The results of this research proved that the timely recognition of loss does not affect the persistence and the power of earnings for the purpose of forecasting future cash flows. The findings imply that conservatism does not distort persistence of earnings.

This study examines corporate motives to hold cash and its equivalents as forms of financing, by using non-financial public firms listed in Indonesian Stock Exchange (IDX) between 2005 and 2014. Three criteria are employed to distinguish constrained and non-constrained firms namely: KZ index, dividend payment, and firm size. Based on the results of PLS, this study finds that the amount of cash holding is increasing along with the increase of cash flows. This result is consistent for both firm categories based on the previous criteria. However, based on the 2SLS method, cash flow does not affect the cash holdings of the firms with financial constraints. The result of this research shows that firms with financial constraints have strong motivation to hold cash due to lack of access to external financing.

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

As the economic departments' managers tend to report good news, they simultaneously try to conceal bad news. Conservatism procedures not only resist against these tendencies of management, but also they decrease the investment risk in stock. In this research, the relationship between accounting conservatism and the risk related to downfall of stock value has been studied using historical data about 29 car and pieces companies accepted in Tehran Stock Exchange during the years 2010- 2012. The results obtained from performing the logistic regression model show that there is a negative and significant relationship between the risk of stock value decline and the level of conservatism for case-study statistic sample companies. In other words, during the research period, those companies in which the more conservative procedures have been applied in financial reporting, they have less encountered the risk of stock value decline. In the present research, company size was involved as a controlling variable in hypothesis test pattern that a significant relationship wasn't observed between this variable and the research's dependent variable.
