Abstract

Transactions with related parties are factors reducing market value of the investment. Although all transactions with related parties are opportunistic, but the prevailing view is that these transactions influence risk and are important for investors. In fact, lack of knowledge about the nature of transactions with related parties, causes information asymmetry for shareholders and investors. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the relationship between related-party transactions and earnings forecast error as well as independent board members (proportion of non-duty members of the board) on the relationship between related-party transactions and earnings forecast error. To investigate this relationship, we selected 78 companies data listed on Tehran Stock Exchange between 1387 and 1391. Using Eviews, hypotheses were tested. The results indicate that the related-party transactions are positively and significantly associated with earnings forecast error.In addition, the results show that the independent board members have moderating role on the relationship between related-party transactions and earnings forecast error.
