The purpose of the study is to investigate comparative ability of accounting information to predict indices volatility of companies listed in Tehran Stock Exchange using intelligent methods including Support Vector Machine, Artificial Neural Network and classic Logistic Regression model. Sample of study includes 91 companies listed in Tehran Stock Exchange which have been classified in 9 industry group during time period of 2003-3013. Considering 11 corporate financial variables, study results show that despite predicting ability of around 60% by Support Vector Machine and Artificial Neural Network, there is significant difference between actual and predicted results. Also, classic Logistic Regression model can explain only 4% industries’ indices volatility using selected 11 corporate financial variables. Finally, although intelligent methods are superior to classic methods, accounting information solely aren’t well-explainer variables for predicting industry index volatility and variety of variables such as financial, political, economical … are effective in predicting industry index volatility.

The speed of transferring of accounting information from transferors to users is so important that it is mentioned in accounting conceptual framework as a qualitative characteristics of accounting information. Barriers and problems discovering in information channel between transferors and users not only can Accelerates the transmission of information but also can benefit users more. In this research we investigate the relationship between disclosure quality and audit report lag for 164 companies of Tehran Stock Exchange between the years of 1387 to 1391. We use disclosure quality ranking, management forecast error and prior period adjustments as the representatives of disclosure quality and test them with audit report lag in Eviews and SPSS software. The findings of panel analysis shows that there is a significant negative relationship between audit report lag and dependent variables, management forecast error and prior period adjustments. The final result shows a positive relationship between disclosure quality and audit report lag. Furthermore there is significant negative relationship between company size and audit report lag and there is no relationship between auditor sizes, having good news or bad news and company debts with audit report lag.

While perior studies faild to document a meaningful relationship between financial restatement, as a measure of earnings quality, and firms’ dividend paying policy, the purpose of the present study is to reinvestigate this relationship by classifying financial restatements into opportunistic and non-opportunistic based on management incentives in using discretionary accruals. The data is related to 247 firms (consisted of 2,238 firm-year observations) during 1381-1390. A Meet-or-beat model was applied to determine opportunistic financial reporting. Furthermore, a fixed effects logistic regression with panel data was used to test hypothesis. Results show that dividend-paying firms have less likelihood to engage in opportunistic financial reporting through fincial restatements. Furthermore, the negative association between dividend paying status and opportunistic financial reporting is stronger when the size of dividend payouts are larger. Overall, results suggest firm’s dividend policy is indicative of its earnings quality. Specifically, dividend policy unfolds the manager’s incentives behind the financial restatements.

The purpose of this research is to examine both the relationship between accounting conservatism and level of investment under the need or no need of financing conditions and the impact of ultimate ownership on this association. The statistical society of the present research contains 103 companies selecting from all companies listed in Tehran Stock Exchange using removal method over the time span of 2006-2010. Combined data method with fixed effect has been used in order to test the research hypothesis. The result depicts that the association between conservatism and investment is significantly negative when a firm do not need external financing. Nonetheless, this association is significantly positive in companies which need external financing. Furthermore, we find that the relationship between conservatism and investment in the companies whose ultimate ownerships controller is governmental or semi governmental firms is significantly negative. Thus, when the agency problem is enhancing, conservatism acts as a mechanism to decrease this problem and engenders reduction in investment cost.

According to Prospect Theory, Investors have different behaviors in the profit and loss situations and indeed their trading behavior is different in bull and bear markets. This study uses quantile regression model (in different quartiles) and OLS model to estimate beta of 180 firms. Results showed that first, equity total risk (standard deviation) increase in Upper quartile and second, stocks beta changes in different quartiles and by moving from quartile 0.25 to quartile0.75, systematic risk (beta) increases significantly. Linear regression model and Quantile regression model show also that unexpected variance can explain excess return at least similar to expected variance. The results can also be interpreted with both Insight of standard finance and insight of behavioral finance. In standard finance area, risk-return positive relation that exists in upper quintiles is consistent with long run growth of economy. Moreover, negative relation between return and risk in lower quintiles imply more uncertainty and as a result causing stock returns to fall. In behavioral finance area, regime-dependent behavior of slope coefficients is consistent with prediction of Prospect theory of investor’s behaviors around the reference point.

The company's ability to identify potential funding sources both internal and external, are the main factors of growth and development. The main objective of companies is to maximize shareholder wealth and the company's capital structure is one of the factors contributing to this, that involve financial resources commensurate with the risk and return. On the other hand, several studies have shown that due to the problems of the traditional theory of capital structure, one of the most important factors, affecting the issues of financing in companies, is financial flexibility. This study examines the impact of financial flexibility on capital structure decisions. For this purpose, the companies listed in Tehran Stock Exchange, 108companies were selected and financial data for the years 1382 to 1392 were studied. The results indicate that current period financial flexibility has a significant and positive relationship with capital structure. The results also suggest that for companies that have negative marginal value of cash, financial flexibility in capital structure decisions, is a priority.

In this study ,the impact of highly valued equity on the relation between audit quality and Discretionary Accruals in the companies listed in Tehran Stock Exchange is investigated .Audit quality is measured by using of the audit firm size, audit industry specialization, the length of the auditor-client relationship and industry specialist audit firms with long tenure. Also, Discretionary Accruals is estimated using the Jones model (1991). The results of investigating a sample of 153 firms during the years of 1386 to 1392 shows that interaction effect of highly valued equity and audit quality proxies is positive and significant. This means that, magnitude of the negative effect of audit quality on the discretionary accruals in the highly valued firms decreases and high quality auditors not reducing amount of Discretionary Accruals in highly valued firms. Thus, in the negotiation between auditors and managers about preparation of financial statement in the highly valued equity, managers by using of better information about its firm can success on auditors.

Some valuation models use the accounting earnings and others use the cash flows as inputs to measure the intrinsic value of stocks. The empirical evidences show that the performance of earnings-based models is generally higher than that of non-earnings-based models. In addition, based on empirical evidences, earnings management that is done using accruals and real activities manipulation; shift the earnings quality, and using the managed earnings in earnings-based valuation models lead to incorrect results. The first stage of this research that is done on 116 firms listed in Tehran Stock Exchange from 2003 to the end of 2013 compares the performance of Residual Income Model (RIM) and discounted cash flow model (DCF). The second stage compares the performance of mentioned models in suspected and non-suspected firms to earnings management and to control the effects of some variables on results, the regression analyses is applied. The research results show that, although in total sample the performance of RIM is higher than that of discounted DCF, the performance of RIM is significantly lower than that of DCF in suspected firms.

This research investigates the impact of accounting conservatism on the stock market’s valuation of nonrecurring gains and losses. The sample is comprised of 126 publicly traded firms listed in Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE) during 1386-1392. The nonrecurring gains and losses, also known as special items, have asymmetric market valuation multiples, which are proxied by the earnings response coefficient (ERC) in this reseach. The results show that: (1). an asymmetry exists in the valuation of nonrecurring gains and losses; and (2) the asymmetry can be explained by the idea of accounting conservatism, which is the tendency that firms report economic losses on a timelier basis than economic gains. The above findings show that nonrecurring losses are have a higher earnings response coefficient than nonrecurring gains, due to the fact that nonrecurring losses (non-operational losses) are impounded in earnings much quicker than the gains (non-operational gains). Furthermore, as the level of conservatism increases within a firm, this asymmetry of market valuation becomes larger, signifying that the information content of negative nonrecurring items increases at a rate greater than that of positive nonrecurring items.

This paper assesses the impact of a comprehensive set of macroeconomic factors (including changes in exchange rate, changes in inflation rate, changes in liquidity, changes in trade balance, and changes in gross domestic production) on error of management earnings forecast in companies annual reports. Detailed analysis of research related to earnings forecasting by managers and especially researches in Iran, indicates lack of adequate attention to the impact of the macroeconomic variables on earnings forecast error so this paper seeks to fill this research gapThe data set includes 80 companies listed on Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE) for the period of 1386 -1393. The study used Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression model to examine the relationship between above mentioned macroeconomic factors and management earnings forecast. The empirical results show that among the macroeconomic variables that have been examined, there are only significant positive relationships between two of above mentioned macroeconomic factors (including changes in exchange rate, and changes in gross domestic product) and management earnings forecast. We did not find any statistically significant association between other macroeconomic factors (including changes in inflation rate, liquidity, and trade balance) and management earnings forecast. The results suggest that macroeconomic variables can affect the accuracy of earnings forecasts by management, hence the neglecting of such factors can result increase in error of earnings forecasts.

One of the most discussion is considered in recent years is management decision about expense. In traditional way, profit analysis models have assumed expense behavior depends on production and sales volatility. Although researches which are done in the 90s show holding this assumption is not true. So these kinds of conclusions cause trying to answer why such behavior is seen. This Research Examines the Relationship Between prior sales Changes and Asymmetric Expense Behavior and Positive or Negative Management attitude effect on it. in order to measure of asymmetric expense behavior, backing research literature, current relationship between sg&a changes and sales changes is utilized; sales changes related to two period ago is calculated as a proxy for management attitude too. So 105 corporations' financial data listed on tehran stock exchange (tse) are collected (1050firm-year) during 1383 to 1392 using certain criteria. OLS – fixed effect method is run to analysis data. the result reveal that expense behave in asymmetric manner; prior sales changes has positive relationship with expense asymmetric behavior by reducing uncertainty; and management attitude can moderate the effect of it on Asymmetric Expense Behavior. As a Consequence, Positive Attitude Strengthen the positive Relationship between Prior sales changes and Expense Asymmetric Behavior and Negative Attitude causes more Symmetric Expense Behavior.

, in this research the effect of mentioned principle on the value of company has been investigated as a performance dimension among 117 initial released corporations during time interval of 2003-2013 in the Tehran stock exchange. In order to collect the data to conduct research, the software of Nevin Rehaward, audited financial statements and the hope letters of registered companies inserted in these sites of www.rdis.ir, www.tse.tmc and Kodal, and the SPSS software have been used to analyze the data. Finally, the research results indicate that opposite to the discussed theories, there is no significant relation between principle of corporate sovereignty including the establishing an audit committee, separating the role of managing director from the director of managing board and the size of managing board with the value (performance) of initial release company. It seems that, the competition in the environment of Tehran stock exchange is not in enough amount and the structure of audit committees have mainly problems that is under supervision of those managers and the authorities written in the charter of audit committees is practically inapplicable. This perspective should be investigated until more satisfaction could be achieved to the posed claims, and could help in the success of initial release companies especially for privatization of governmental corporations.

Today, in many countries, particularly the developing countries, economic reform, such as privatization, is considered a strategic approach. The more governments grow, the tighter the competitions become in the market, so, it appears that some fields should be privatized in order to create competition. By moving towards privatization and the changes in competition methods and the presentation of the World Trade, the importance of management accounting is more pronounced. This research is based on the Contingency Theory of Anderson and Lenan (1999) and it investigates the relation of the level of privatization on the performance of privatized companies with emphasis on the use of management accounting tools as an intermediary variable. The data, related to management accounting tools and used by the companies during 6 years, was collected through questionnaires and the data related to privatization and financial performance was collected using the information registered in the statements of 48 accepted companies on Tehran’s Stock Market whose dates of acceptance are before 1387 and were continuously active until 1392. This data was analyzed by PLS 2014. The results indicate a positive relation between financial performance and privatization, and management accounting, as an intermediary variable, enhances this relation. Furthermore, the use of management accounting tools has a positive relation with the financial performance and the privatization of companies.

The purpose of the present study is to investigate the relationship between information asymmetry and mispricing of accruals in Tehran Exchange Market. hence, we hypothesize that there is a significant positive relationship between the level of information asymmetry and mispricing of accruals. we implement Mishkin test and classification of portfolios method to respectively investigate whether there is any mispricing of accruals and its relationship with information asymmetry. Furthermore, the indirect balance sheet approach and bid-ask spread have been utilized to measure respectively accruals and information asymmetry. Thus, information of 82 entities during the time span of 5 years between 2008 to 2012 have been analyzed to test our hypothesis. The results depicts that as the level of information asymmetry enhances, the difference between coefficients of predictions and evaluation of accruals in the Mishkin test increases. In other words, as the level of information asymmetry increases, the mispricing of accruals intensifies.

The main objective of this paper is to evaluate the effect of the corporate life cycle stages on the cost of equity of firms listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange. In this study we used Dickinson's Model (2011) to determine the corporate life cycle stages and Gordon Model to calculate cost of equity. In this study, we first took samples using the cash flow statement data (including cash flow from operating activities, cash flow from investing activities and cash flow from finance activities) and separated the firms in the growth stage, maturity stage and decline stage, then, using multivariate regression analysis and mean comparison tests, hypotheses have been studied and tested. The results of 110 firms (990 company - year) during the period from 2006 to 2014 shows that the firms cost of equity in different stages of the life cycle (growth, maturity, decline) are significantly different. The results also show that in the decline stage the cost of equity is at the highest level and in the maturity stage it is at the lowest level.
