Abstract
Improving the quality of financial reporting is one of the effective factors to approach an efficient capital market and optimal capital allocation, the present research tries to explain the quality of financial reporting from the perspective of adjusted structuration theory. The adjusted structuration theory explains social systems, including accounting, with an ethical approach and considering the dual relationship between agency and structure.The current research is quantitative in terms of implementation method. In the quantitative part, the correlation method based on confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling was used. The statistical population of the research includes university faculty members and financial managers 154 people were selected by available sampling method. The research tool is an extractive questionnaire from research literature.
The analysis of data in the quantitative part in the form of structural equation model showed that the relationship between agency and accounting structure with the quality of financial reporting is strongly significant and agency has a higher rating in this relationship, this relationship is due to the influence of an opinion based on ethics with the first rank, decision-making with the second rank and accountability with the third rank will be from the direction of agency and structure on the quality of financial reporting. the accounting system with emphasis on adjusted structuration Theory increases the quality of financial reporting by providing a comprehensive theoretical framework based on the usefulness and ethics of the accounting system as well as the usefulness of information for decision making.
