This study provides an empirical support to the relevance of very prevalent and well-established almost a century ago the DuPont Identity in the context of India, one of big 10 emerging markets (Garten, 1997). The DuPont Identity, a familiar form of financial statement analysis (Soliman, 2008) for use in equity valuation (Nissim and Penman, 2001), decomposes the return on equity (ROE) into three multiplicative components: net profit margin (operating efficiency), assets turnover ratio (asset use efficiency) and equity multiplier (financial leverage). The present study is based on the valuation theory which considers the viewpoint of equity investors to empirical investigate the value relevance of accounting information (Beisland, 2009). In this study, value relevance of three measures of accounting information used in the DuPont Identity is investigated for 228 manufacturing firms listed in National Stock Exchange (NSE) of India over a period of ten years from 2006-07 to 2015-2016. The findings indicate that the firms should focus on asset use efficiency and financial leverage components of DuPont Identity since a statistically significant impact of these two components on the stock returns is found. The strategic use of asset efficiency and financial leverage inevitably ensures the operating efficiency of the firms. This empirical investigation is an addition to the value relevance literature with an important insight to the firms and the participants of stock market about the usefulness of DuPont Identity in the context of India.

The value relevance of accounting information is an important area in accounting researches. However the literature provides contradictory conclusions on the value relevance of accounting information in different stock exchanges and there is a very limited knowledge in this regard in Sri Lankan context. Hence this study endeavored to investigate the value relevance of accounting information in explain stock returns considering three traditional accounting performance measures: Earnings Per Share (EPS), Return on Equity (ROE) and Return on Investment (ROI) as the proxy for accounting information. The study was conducted with the hypothesis that the traditional accounting performance measures are significant in explaining stock returns in Sri Lanka. A sample of 1695 firm year observations were used for the study covering 113 companies in Colombo Stock Exchange for fifteen years period from 1999 to 2013. This study used Easton and Harris (1991) formal valuation model. Panel data regression analysis technique was applied to test the relative information content of each performance measure to identify the best performance measure which could explain the stock returns in Sri Lanka. The study revealed that the EPS and ROI are significant performance measures and the EPS is the best performance measure which could explain the significant variations of stock returns in Sri Lanka. The results suggest that the market participants in the Colombo Stock Exchange should pay more attention on EPS and ROI. Meantime they must consider other determinants to develop their investment strategies.

This paper empirically investigates the value relevance of accounting earnings measures in the emerging capital market of Tunisia. The issue is tested by estimating the regression of annual security returns on different earnings measures extracted from income statements. In Tunisia, firms prepare their financial statements in accordance with Tunisian Accounting Standards (TAS) which are inspired from International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Based on a sample of 389 firm years for firms listed on the Tunis Stock Exchange (TSE) during the period 1997-2008 and using pooled regressions, we find that accounting earnings measures are weakly related to security returns. However, we find that earnings before taxes has the higher explanatory power for stock returns. This is perhaps due to the fact that financial statements are often influenced by taxation rules (ROSC, 2006; section 42). Further, we find that cash flow from operations and Total accruals are not value relevant for valuation. We tested whether the value relevance of each measure of performance improved after the adoption in October 2005 of the Law on Strengthening the Security of Financial Relations (LSSFR). Consistent with prior US and other international findings, results show that the explanatory power and the magnitude of the slope coefficient of each measure increased when we take into account for the impact of this enactment. However, the increase is not statistically significant. This is perhaps due to the employed specification of the relation between security returns and accounting information.

In this study, the employee expenses model and earnings model are compared in order to determine whether or not putting the employee expenses in the earning predictability models and high relevance of accounting information to stock value, increases usefulness of accounting information. We use the term ‘earnings model’ to refer to the consideration of earnings alone, for determining earnings predictability as well as value relevance. The term ‘employee model’ refers to the consideration of earnings and employee expenses in determining earnings predictability as well as value relevance. In this study, the cost of employees’ salary, which is shown under the heading of General and administrative expenses in the income statement, is the only monetary information that is available for us and relevance value is determined through the effectiveness of the models in determining stock returns. After applying these limitation, companies which were active in Tehran Stock Exchange from2003 to 2012 were chosen as the target population. The results showed that compared to earnings model, the employee expenses model provides a better prediction of the earnings but it isn’t a better model for predicting the stock relevance (related to the return of the stock).

This paper presents a model for the financial analysis of a bank based on the DuPont system of financial analysis. The DuPont system of financial analysis is derived from an analysis of return on equity that consists of three parts: 1) operating efficiency as measured by profit margin, 2) asset use efficiency as measured by total asset turnover, and 3) financial leverage as measured by the equity multiplier. The analysis covers the period from mid 2005 to 2009. The DuPont system of analysis assesses the performance of the Arabian institution since its establishment in the Spring of 2005.

Purpose This paper aims to explore how the characteristics of the board of directors (BoD) shape earnings and book value information available to market participants. Design/methodology/approach The authors investigated the impact of board size, presence of non-executives and role duality as proxies of effective corporate governance on the value relevance of financial reporting for 178 firms on the Kuwait stock exchange in 2013. Regression analysis based on Ohlson’s (1995) valuation model was used to test hypotheses. Findings The authors found that board size was significantly associated with company value and that Kuwaiti firms with large boards increased the value-relevance of earnings and book value. The influence of role duality was positive although not significant. The presence of non-executives on the board had a negative correlation with market value (not significant). Research limitations/implications These findings deliver empirical support for the prediction that the characteristics of the BoD improve the value relevance of financial reporting. Limitations such as small sample size and one-year duration of the study did not negate the basic findings, however. Future studies will use larger samples, longer duration and additional board characteristics. Practical implications This study provides empirical support for the hypothesis that board size influences market valuation. This study may benefit managers, investors and other decision-makers. Originality/value This study delivers empirical evidence on the impact of board characteristics on the value relevance of accounting information. It will be useful for regulators and market participants monitoring the influence of board characteristics on the value relevance of accounting information.
