Because of the important part of the information required to be met through financial accounting and reporting systems, the existence of valid criteria to ensure the proper quality of financial reporting is one of the most important pillars of the public sector accountability system. The present research seeks to investigate the challenges of financial reporting quality in the public sector by using the Grounded Theory approach. A sampling of snowball from 27 experts (including professors and managers of executive agencies) was interviewed in 2018. The analysis of the interviews led to the identification of the categories. Each of these factors has sub-categories and concepts. The results of this research show that the categories of financial reporting quality in the public sector are the budget structure, public sector infrastructure, human resource quality, accounting system and accounting, education, and accountability system of the community as well-known underlying factors. Lack of qualified human resources, lack of academic professors and professional experts, low level of systemic-analytic thinking, change in politicians' attitudes and human resource resistance to innovations as inputs. Weaknesses in the implementation of accrual accounting, total failure to implement operational budgeting, political influence in the decision-making process, inaccessibility to the annual budget performance statement, and the lack of recognition of some items of financial statements as processes were identified. The consequence of the financial reporting quality in the public sector is the failure to achieve the public sector financial reporting goals, the lack of allocation of funds to public sector expenditures, the exacerbation of the budget deficit, the scarcity and inefficiency of public finance reporting, the increased loss of resources and the lack of accountability.

Interest groups, especially shareholders have demand for Disclosure and Reporting in the capital market and they change their expectations of risk and return based on disclosure of information. Therefore, disclosure has economic consequence for companies that according to the empirical literature, cost of capital, information asymmetry and stock liquidity, there are three important consequences of disclosure and reporting. One of the disclosures of companies is risk disclosure in the capital market, especially for banks and financial and credit institutions which it require in the form of financial statements and the Report of the Board to the Stock Forum based on complies with the regulations of the Stock Exchange and the Central Bank of Iran. In this paper, we survey the effect of risk disclosure in bank listed in stock market on cost of capital, information asymmetry and stock liquidity as three important of risk disclosure consequences. For this aim, by using the annual data of 18 banks listed in Tehran Stock Exchange during the years 1390 to 1395 we estimate simple regression with panel data. The results show the main hypothesis (there is a consequential risk disclosure of the banks listed in the stock market), confirms. In addition, risk disclosure has a positive and significant relationship with cost of capital and information asymmetry, but there is no significant relationship between risk disclosure and stock liquidity.

Predicting stock rates and securities pricing is one of the most important issues in financial markets. The information provided by managers in corporate financial statements helps investors make optimal decisions. The value of this information depends on their accuracy and correctness, and managers' biases distort the information correctly and lead to incorrect predictions and, of course, wrong decisions. Corporate governance is created by overseeing the opportunistic behaviors of managers and with the aim of reducing the conflict of interest between shareholders and managers.The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of corporate governance mechanisms on the relationship between managers' expectations and stock returns. Stock returns were calculated using the Fama and French three-factor model. It is an institutional agent and shareholder. The research hypotheses were tested using data from 178 companies whose data were available during the years 1390 to 1396 and using multivariate regression and combined data.Findings indicate that there is a significant relationship between managers 'expectations stickiness and stock returns and also only the mechanism of percentage of institutional shareholders has a significant effect on the relationship between managers' expectations stickiness and stock returns.

The purpose of this research is the consideration of the relation between suppliers' and customers' bargaining power and accounting conservatism. In this research it is expressed that in order to protect their interest, the suppliers and customers try to appreciate Firms to increase conservatism in financial reporting. Instead, the Firms try to withstand to demand of suppliers and customers for accounting conservatism, because of inappropriate image of company shown by conservatism. If the company has more power of bargaining than suppliers and customers, then it will have less sensitivity against suppliers' and customers' demand of accounting conservatism. Otherwise the company has to use more conservatism policies in its financial reporting. Empirical analysis uses data from the 1826 Firms-year during the period 1381 to 1390 indicate that there are significant positive relationship between the bargaining power of suppliers and customers with accounting conservatism. Also, the results revealed, the company's dependence on raw materials and the quality of after-sale services durable goods producers to reduce the bargaining power of the company and increase the conservatives in the aftermath of the financial reporting will have; In addition, the company's industrial activities that have high barriers to entry, the bargaining power of firms increases and decreases the level of conservatism of financial reporting. Overall, the results indicated that the company's suppliers and customers who have higher bargaining power, Companies have the ability to dictate the terms of trade, and in this situation, conservative accounting firms to demand from them will be more sensitive.

Strong corporate governance structure results in better monitoring of management, timely accounting information, and increasing speed of bad news recognition in order to inform the board and taking needed action (Garcia et al, 2005). On the other hand, conservatism creates a system that prevents the managers and executives overpayment and prevents any excessive optimism (Watts, 2003). If conservatism really play a role in handling agency problems, the conflicting interests of managers and owners will increase the demand for increased conservatism. Thus, firms with better corporate governance structure, would show a higher degree of conservatism (Garcia et al, 2005). This means that there will be more expected return sensitivity to bad news compared to good news among firms with strong corporate governance structure (Basu, 1997).In this study information of 179 companies in Tehran Stock Exchange within two years 2009 and 2010, using the multiple regression analysis and cross-sectional data, mechanisms of communication between the stock's biggest shareholder, being the parent company, stock concentration, the presence of the CEO in the board, state ownership, the average stock owned by members of the board, the percentage of free float shares of the company, the presence of outside financial expert on the board of directors, the percentage of outside directors, and the auditors, the certain corporate governance mechanisms playing an important role in this regard has been studied with accounting conservatism.The results reveal that except the quality disclosure ratings and stock concentration variables, there is a significant relationship between the mechanisms of corporate governance and accounting conservatism.

In the middle of year l 383, universities and research institutions of Iran regained their independence. According to article 49 of the forth plan act, the financial and administration affairs of universities will be directed by approved boards of trustee's regulations , starting at the beginning of year 1384. These legal facilities provide the best opportunity for chief executives of universities and research institutions in order to change old financial and administration systems and establish the new structures. As a matter of fact, the big challenge that universities’ managers are facing during this time, is to find ways to accommodate and exploit changes. The concepts of empowerment and innovation summarize many of the current ways management is doing this. Empowerment involves requiring all staff to make decisions that will produce desired results. Innovation involves encouraging staff to continuously improve products and services and reduce their cost. Empowerment and innovation emphasize mainly obtaining results and often reducing controls. In short, if universities use all aspects of these legal facilities and solve their problems, we can consider it as an opportunity, otherwise it is assumed to be a threat.

The main purpose 'of this article is to present new and modem tax accounting system that is designed for state tax affairs organization. An organization's operating environment necessarily influences its financial accounting and reporting system. Understanding the fundamental nature of state tax organization as well significant characteristics of its environment was essential for designing a new and more informative tax accounting system. For this reason, the subject has been fully researched by a study group under conducting of the author of this article as the system designer. .
Two significant characteristics of environment were identified in the process of state tax system. First, the taxation process interval that is long and time-consuming. Second, the nature of state tax revenues that is not eligible for using modified accrual basis of accounting became neither measurable nor available. These characteristics of environment highlight the need for providing information of state tax process; in order to provide this kind of information, state tax process was divided into two separated processes namely administration and financial process. The administration process begins at point of submitting tax return and finished at the time of tax payment. The financial process begins with receiving money and sending it to treasury.
The new model of tax accounting system was designed based on fund theory and defined each stage of administration and financial processes as an individual accounting entity by using account group or fund, respectively. In this model of accounting also, accrual basis mechanism is used for recognizing tax receivables and cash basis is used for realizing tax revenues at the time of receiving taxes.

AbstractMost of earnings management researches in Iran focus on abnormal accruals. Whereas accruals and real activities result in earnings management, which are complementary (Sanjaya and Saragih, 2012). According to various studies, accruals eventually lead to fraud (Jones et al, 2008). So far no research studied the relationship between accrual earnings management and real earnings management in companies suspected to fraud. So, in this study, the relationship between accrual earnings management and real Earnings management in companies suspected to fraud are discussed. In this analysis, panel data is used. For hypothesis testing, the data of 107 listed companies on Tehran Stock Exchange, which are suspected to fraud, for the period of 1392- 1387 (Solar Calendar), has been used. Results of the analysis indicate that real earnings management on accrual earnings management in companies suspected to fraud, at 95 percent confidence level, have negative and significant correlation. As a result, researchers, standard settings and auditors should pay attention to both real earnings management and accrual earnings management in fraud suspected companies. Audit quality should also be strengthened in the Iranian suspected of fraud listed companies

This research aims to investigate the role of independent auditors and audit committees (AC) in mitigating the fraud risks. Prior studies have showed that all auditors or audit committees are not equally adept at identifying and reducing fraud risks by using non-financial measures (NFMs). This study’s research population covers the corporates listed on Tehran Security Exchange in 2014-2018. Hypotheses were tested using logistic regressions. Findings indicate some significantly negative relationships between auditor efforts, auditor tenure, AC chairs, auditor and AC chair expertise with fraud risks. Also, no significant relationship was found between expertise of AC chairs and fraud risk likelihood. The results indicate that audit processes can mitigate fraud risks, however, not all types of AC expertise can be helpful.

In this research study, we have used the Transparency and Disclosure scores set by Standard & Poors for evaluation and trend analysis of transparency of the companies listed in Tehran Stock Exchange. We have also examined the correlation of transparency scores with some factors such as: size of the companies, leverage ratios, profitability, ownership structure, and number of independent board members. This research study indicates that the Corporate Transparency score was 28 percent in the year 2001 and increased to 32 percent in 2007. Comparison of this result with the studies performed abroad by Standard & Poors reveals the weak position of Iran in Corporate Transparency among other Asian countries, Europeans and also Latin Americans. In addition, we found a positive correlation between the Corporate Transparency and size of the companies but there was no correlation with the other factors mentioned above. Based on the results of this study, we are of the opinion that at present, the companies have no motivation for increasing the Corporate Transparency.

The modern internal auditing has recently been considered in Iran. Therefore, many of its aspects, including internal audit quality(IAQ) and Internal audit quality improvement strategies(IAQIS), have not been clarified yet. Also, limited areas of IAQ have been considered in previous research. In order to explain and describe the various aspects of IAQ and IAQIS, we have interviewed internal audit stakeholders. So, by using the qualitative approach and grounded theory, internal audit stakeholders (user, executive, regulators and standard setter) were studied for the first time in Iran. In this regard, 33 people were interviewed from late 2016 to early 2017. In addition, in this regard, 30 papers and seminars which published in Iranian professional magazines that reflect the viewpoints of the above-mentioned stakeholders were also used. The data were analyzed by using the open coding, axial coding & selective coding approach that is specific to the grounded theory and major categories, categories, and subcategories (concepts) were extracted. Using a system model approach that includes inputs, process, outputs, outcomes and contextual factors, the IAQIS model was designed. The model incorporates multidimensional of IAQIS. Strategies include inputs, performance, outputs, and contextual factors which are affecting IAQ. Due to the gradual expansion of the modern internal auditing in Iran in recent years, to achieve and improve IAQ, these multidimensional strategies can apply in engagement level, internal audit function level, firm level and national level.

Readability is the ease with which a reader can understand a written text. Audit report is a message about validity of financial statements that auditors transmit to the users. It is expected that the readability of the audit report plays an important role in understanding it by users. Therefore, the present paper aims to examine the factors affecting on readability of the audit report. To this end, the readability of 1202 audit reports belong to 2011 to 2016 (after revision in the Audit Standard 700 on 2011), using Gunning Fog Index is measured, Then the impact of the auditor's characteristics and Client's characteristics on Audit report Readability by Fuzzy Decision Tree, Ancova And step-by-step regression is studied. The results showed that, firstly, the readability of the audit reports varies with each other. Secondly, the readability of the audit reports is influenced by the auditor's characteristics and Client's characteristics. Third, most important variables determining readability of the audit report are the Auditor's Size (negative effect), auditing consolidted/not consolidted financial Statement (Consolidated one is less readable), size of the Client (negative effect), ratio of market to book value of Client (Positive effect) and Auditor's Report Type (adjusted report is less Readable). Fourth, audit report delay will reduce readability.

This study examines the impact of earnings management on the value -relevance of financial statement information by considering short-term and long-term discretionary accruals. This study uses valuation framework, developed by Ohlson (1995) and Jones (1991) as basis for developing two distinct models to examine short-term and long-term discretionary accruals.10 hypotheses have been designed for this purpose. To examine these hypotheses we use the information of 100 companies listed on Tehran - Stock -Exchange during 1383–1387 and Pierson correlation. The results demonstrate that, both Earnings and Book Value have value-relevance information about firms' value. Moreover, earnings management via short-term, long- term and total discretionary accruals reduce value relevance of earnings but value relevance of book value reduce only in presence of earnings management via long-term discretionary accruals.

This study has been implemented with the aim of the development of the researches in the scope of the management effects through investigation of the management ability on the investment decisions and the stock price crash risk. In this regard and in order to measure the managers ability and its related effects on the investment efficiency (in the form of three models) and also its interaction with the element of the reporting quality on the future stock price crash risk (in the form of two models), the Demorgian et al (2013) model has been used. Hence two different statistical samples from the Tehran stock exchange listed companies and with the implementation of the Systematic removal model have been used. Also in order to examine the hypotheses, estimation methods and the assumption of the model, the Panel analysis has been used. Our findings show that the managerial talent decreases the underinvestment and reinforces the overinvestment and generally increases the deviation of the expected level of investment. In addition, the results of this study on the one hand, show that the managerial talent, meaningfully, decreases the future stock price crash risk and from the other hand it shows that the desirable reporting quality, decreases the future stock price crash risk. But there is no evidence showing the existence of an interactive relationship between capable managers and high reporting quality with future stock price crash risk.

Investigating the Relation Between Accruals and Operating Cash Flows and Effective Factors on this Relation can be useful for shareholders and capital market analysts. The purpose of this study is to investigate the Relation Between Accruals and Operating Cash Flows and Effective Timing and Economic Factors on this Relation. To do so, data of 107 stocks listed in Tehran Stock Exchange in a period of 11 years during 2005 to 2015 were analyzed. First of all, with utilization of times-series regression, the relationship between accruals and cash flows over time were examined. Afterwards, Effective Timing and Economic Factors that could affect this relation were considered utilizing Time-Series Regressions. The results indicate a significant negative relationship between Accruals and Operating Cash Flows showing drops from about -0/997 in 2005 to -0/347 in 2015. Furthermore, out of five potential factors, three of which including Timing-Related Cash Flow Shocks, increases in non-timing-related accrual recognition, as proxied by one-time and non-operating items and the growth of intangible-intensive industries play a role in the majority of the overall decline. In other words, the growth in the frequency and the magnitude of these items has given rise to a decrease in the negative accrual–cash flow relation and operational Cash Flow Shocks throughout the project.

The herd behavior of investors is of the most noticeable issues in finance. Herd behavior could lead to an increase in volatility of share prices and its deviation from intrinsic value. There have been some investigations on this issue in recent years which prove the presence of herd behavior in the Tehran Stock Exchange. However, few of them seek to study the impact of various stock traits on investors’ behavior. This study aims to regard the idiosyncratic risk as a possible determinant of herding and consider its impact on the extreme market condition, up and down markets. Using companies listed in Tehran Stock Exchange between 1388 to 1394(Iranian calendar), the results demonstrate that the idiosyncratic risk could intensify the herd behavior of investors in extreme down markets. In addition, for stocks with lower idiosyncratic risk, herding could be observed in down markets.

This paper investigated the relationship between market return, firm size and book-to-market value of equity with return of equity in Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE). For this purpose we use Fama-French three factor model (1993) to investigate the effects of market return, firm size and book-to-market value of equity on equity return. We use OLS regression to analyzing the collected of data during 1376 to
1383. Our results indicate a significant relationship between three mentioned variable with equity returns.
The relationship between market return, and firm size with return of equity was positive, and the relationship between book-to-market value of equity with return of equity was negative. Also, our findings indicate that investing in firms with big size and low book-to-market value of equity ratio in TSE has more return for investors.
