This paper analyzed the consequences of financial reporting convergence towards integrated reporting in Iran's capital market focusing on agency cost and cost of equity capital. In order to measure the financial reporting convergence towards integrated reporting, a checklist has been used which designed based on the international integrated reporting framework. The agency cost measured using the efficiency criterion based on the ratio of operational expenses to operational revenues. The cost of equity capital estimated based on the expected rate of return using the capital assets pricing model. The research population includes 144 firms listed in the Tehran Securities & Exchange over March 2016 till March 2021. Multivariable regression models were used to test research hypotheses. The findings showed that increase in convergence level of firms’ financial reporting with integrated reporting framework has reduced agency cost and cost of equity capital. These findings suggested that focusing on the benefits of integrated reporting through transparency and completeness of information disclosure has weakened agency conflicts and reduced agency costs. In addition, integrated reporting has reduced the cost of capital in financing decisions due to the adoption of sustainable business model from integrated thinking and the reduction of information asymmetry due to greater transparency for more informed forecasting.

The goal of my research is to explore relationship between the cost of capital and CEO turnover with an emphasis on investment opportunities in companies listed on Tehran Stock Exchange. By the expansion of companies, office's owners submit the company to managers. High cost of capital which stems from a poor decision-making in the process of management, might lead on account of sufficient investment to overlook the investments opportunities. Therefore, in a course of assessing the performance of managing committee and decisions concerned them, it might be effective. This research is practical and descriptive-correlative, from the viewpoint of purpose and nature, respectively. In order to achieve my purpose, 188 companies which has been accepted among the Tehran Stock Exchange, during 1387 to 1394 on the basis of systematic sampling-deletion method and overally, in order to perform the analysis, 1504 firm-years is considered. In line with the previous efforts, two assumptions has been cited, and two models: The growth rate of the market value of the total assets and Tobin’s Q have been tested as the representative of investment opportunities. In order to trial the validity of assumptions, we made use of logical regression and compound data. Findings on the basis of Tobin’s Q illustrate that there is a positive and meaningful relationship between cost of capital and CEO turnover. This means that the cost of capital is the explanatory power of the replacement CEO. We also find out that the investment opportunity intensifies the cost of capital and the CEO turnover; however, in the model of growth rate of market value of the total assets, there was no sign between the cost of capital and the CEO turnover.

The aim of this study is to review the effect of the ownership structure (governmental and private) on the relationship between the disclosure quality and the cost of capital. To achieve this purpose, a sample of 107 firms listed in the Tehran Stock Exchange during the years 2006 to 2015 were selected using systematic elimination method and data were analyzed using correlation method and panel data model in E-views and Stata software’s. The results show that with increasing the disclosure quality, the cost of capital reduces. The state ownership has a significantly positive effect and the private ownership also has a significantly negative effect on the cost of capital. The findings also suggest that the state ownership as a moderator variable has a significantly positive effect on the relationship between the disclosure quality and the cost of capital and the private ownership has a significantly negative effect on the relationship between the disclosure quality and the cost of capital.

Because the accounting profit computation does not consider the cost of capital, it has always been criticized. One of the proxies of accounting earnings that recently were taken into consideration by accounting researchers is residual income. In this study, the relationship between accounting earnings and stock returns and the effect of changes in the accounting earnings on this relationship has been studied. Then using the concept of residual income, the impact of changes in earnings components on this relationship has been investigated. To test the hypothesis, a sample of 67 Tehran Stock Exchange listed companies during the years 2004 to 2010 were selected. To analyze the data and hypothesis testing, a multiple regression model based on combined data was used. The results indicate that there is a direct significant relationship between accounting earnings and current stock returns and the independent variable, earnings changes, affect this relationship. Also, if using residual income, the earnings could be decomposable to components, these components will strengthen the relationship between accounting earnings and current stock returns. Also the results revealed no relationship between accounting earnings and future stock returns.

This paper examines the relation between the quality of financial reporting, information risk and cost of capital for a sample of firms listed in TSE's during 1380-1384.Using accruals quality as a proxy for financial reporting quality and information risk; prior research suggests that financial reporting quality affects information risk, and in tum, affects firm's cost of capital. We find that firms with poor accruals quality have higher cost of capital relative to firms with high accruals quality. We also find that the effect of discretionary accruals quality on cost of capital (cost of debt and cost of equity) is greater than for non-discretionary accruals (innate accruals) quality.
