The present study investigates the prediction earning models and compares the models based on absolute forecast errors. For analyzing the data 232 listed firms Tehran stock exchange (TSE) are used during 1380-1387. Comparing the models is done at the level of the all selected firms and at the level of the industries. Using panel data analyses, the results show that disaggregation earning has more ability to predict future earnings than aggregation earning. The results also show that there is a significant relationship between operating cash flows components - cash receipts from customers, cash paid to suppliers and cash paid for operating expenses -and future earnings. It means that these items have ability for predicting future earnings. Also the results indicate that there is a significant relationship between accruals components -accounts receivables, prepayments, inventory, depreciation and amortization, accounts payable advanced receipts, other accounts receivables, other accounts payable and other accruals and future earnings. As a result, these items have ability for predicting future earnings.

This paper investigates the relationship between stock returns and financial and non-financial information, such as operating income, net Income, dividends, cash flows, industry effects, price-earnings ratios, and earnings growth in companies listed in Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE). The testing period is from 1378 to 1387. We use cross sectional data for investigate trends and use pooled data for investigate the relationship between stock returns and financial and non-financial information. The results show that operating earnings, net income and earnings growth have the most explanatory power in determinant stock return. Similar to the findings of western studies, our study shows that earnings data is key information for investors. Also, our findings indicate that cash flows, industry effects, and price-earnings ratios are relatively less important information to the market.

This study provides events about the impact of Earnings Management on the Value-Relevance of Earnings and Book Value with comparison of short term and long-term discretionary accruals. According to the result of this study, in Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE), Earnings management reduces the value-relevance of earnings and increases the value-relevance of book value and also the effect of long-term discretionary accruals on the value relevance of earnings and book value is greater than the effect of short-term discretionary accruals on the value relevance of earnings and book value.

This paper provides evidence on relationships between earnings and cash flow measures for the firms accepted in Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE) over a sample of 83 firms during the period of 1376- 1385. In so doing, we examine the external validity of a U.S.A study of these relationships by Bowen, Burgstahler and Daley (1986). We also extend their study through an industry analysis of the relationships.
Evidence is presented first that shows low correlations between traditional cash flow measures and a more refined cash flow measure. Second, traditional cash flow measures exhibit high correlations with earnings, while the more refined cash flow measure has a lower correlation with earnings. Finally, traditional cash flow measures better predict future cash flows than models based on earnings or a more refined cash flow measure. The industry evidence shows that the results on the first two issues, but not the latter issue, are generalizable across industry categories.

The role of accounting information in setting security prices is one of the most fundamental issues in accounting. The purpose of this study is to extend the research on the value relevance of accounting numbers in two important directions. Firstly, we consider the Iran context and analyze if earnings and/or cash flows are relevant to explain stock returns. Secondly, we investigate how firm-specific attributes such as size, leverage and firm life-cycle influence the relative relevance of accounting measures (earnings and cash. flows). Our results support a linear relationship between stock returns and accounting variables. They indicate also that the relevance of earnings is conditional on size, debt level and life cycle of the firm. In contrast, the earning change reveals more information when the firms are small, mature and leverage firms. With regards to cash flows, we find that they do not reveal additional information beyond that contained in earnings.
