Our examination is based on the notion that high growth creates unique management and reporting challenges that can contribute to distortions related to accruals and book-tax differences. SOX, with its emphasis on financial reporting, control systems and management responsibility, would be relevant for firms with such challenges. Our results show a stronger reduction (weaker increase) in total accruals and book-tax differences (performance-matched modified Jones discretionary accruals) for high-growth firms from the pre- to the post-SOX period relative to lower-growth firms. We also find evidence that the relation between accounting returns and market returns strengthened for high-growth firms in the period after SOX, but not for lower-growth firms. We interpret these results as greater reductions in accounting distortions and related improvements in reporting quality for high-growth firms relative to other firms coinciding with the post-SOX period.

We use information on firms’ economic activity in the province of Quebec as collected and published by the Quebec business newspaper Les Affaires for the period 1990-2008. We find that variables proxying for extent of operations in Quebec are associated with market-to-book multiples on book value and earnings.

In this study we test for associations between measures of BTDs and measures of market participants’ uncertainty regarding the information conveyed in financial reports. The measures of market participant uncertainty are: (1) share turnover, (2) analyst forecast dispersion, and (3) stock return variance. We find positive associations between levels and variability of total BTDs and the three measures. After disaggregating BTDs into their permanent and temporary components, we find that both are positively associated with market uncertainty, although the permanent component of BTDs is generally more strongly and consistently associated with measures of uncertainty than is the temporary component. We interpret these results, in part, as indicative of the possible effect of uncertainty contained in BTDs, especially permanent BTDs, on the precision of the information conveyed in the financial statements CY - Sarasota, FL VL - 33 CP - 1 U2 - a U4 - 2716860417 ID - 2716860417 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - The Short Happy Life of Celiant Corporation: Did Managerialism at Lucent Technologies Divert Shareholder Wealth to Private Equity Investors?

A1 - Morrill,J. KW - Accounting AB - The Canadian province of Quebec is a region of an advanced industrialized nation characterized by a strong independence movement and, therefore, provides an interesting context in which to test the effect of political uncertainty on the relationship between market values and accounting values. In this study we compare market-to-book value associations of a sample of firms headquartered in Quebec with those of a sample of Canadian firms headquartered outside Quebec, over the period 1988”2002. Our comparisons suggest that, on average, the value of Quebec-based firms is significantly less than other Canadian firms when valuation is based on multiples of book value and earnings. In addition, we find that the "Quebec discount" decreased significantly in the period immediately following the 1995 provincial sovereignty referendum wherein Quebeckers voted (narrowly) against Quebec sovereignty. We conclude that the relative undervaluation of Quebec firms is related, at least in part, to political uncertainty associated with the Quebec independence movement.

A1 - Morrill,Cameron K.J. KW - Accounting AB - Depending on the country and circumstances, reporting rules for intercor- porate investments may require the cost method, the equity method, proportionate consolidation, or full consolidation, and may yield dramatically different accounting num- bers. In the post-Enron environment there is a particular focus on investments for which liabilities remain off balance sheet. We compare the information content of alternative accounting treatments for a sample of Canadian firms reporting joint ventures under proportionate consolidation. We restate their financial statements using the equity method, and we compare the information content of the two accounting methods in predicting accounting return on common shareholders' equity. We find evidence consistent with the view that financial statements prepared under proportionate consolidation provide better predictions of future return on shareholders' equity than do financial statements prepared under the equity method. We conclude that, for these firms, proportionate consolidation provides information with greater predictive ability and greater relevance than does the equity method.

JF - Marketing Science Reports Y1 - 2003 A1 - Frankenberger,Kristina D. A1 - Graham,Roger KW - Accounting AB - Some advertisers believe that boosting advertising during recessions provides an added benefit in increased sales and profitability. However, evidence for this argument has been weak, first, because it fails to address firm-based (earnings and market value) outcomes, and second, because it has been studied primarily in non-consumer goods industries.In this report, Frankenberger and Graham extend the investigation of recessionary advertising spending increases and decreases to include financial measures of performance, and compare performance across consumer products, industrial products, and services industries. They conduct an econometric analysis employing cross-sectional time series regression on a sample of 2,662 firms over 16,147 firm-years. They analyze the economy-wide and industry-specific effects that average advertising spending has on earnings and market value, and compare those effects with the effects of increased and decreased advertising spending during recessionary periods. Their results indicate that advertising creates a firm asset by contributing to financial performance for up to three years in the future. Further, increasing spending on advertising during a recession leads to benefits that exceed the benefits of increasing advertising during nonrecessionary times. However, the effect varies by industry: A performance boost is observed during the recession year and one year following for consumer and industrial products firms, but not for services firms. When firms decrease their advertising during recession, financial performance is eroded only for industrial products firms, and only during the year of the recession. Frankenberger and Graham conclude that firms should support advertising budgets whenever possible, as advertising in general translates to an asset that is valued by stock market participants. For firms experiencing soft economies in the consumer and industrial products industries, it makes sense to increase budgets during a recession to realize an incremental gain in financial performance. Firms that decide to cut advertising spending during a recession may do so with little cost beyond the recessionary year.

We test the association between investors' stock price metrics and fair value disclosures while controlling for book values on a sample of 172 investor firm-years during 1993”1997. Our results indicate that the information in the fair value disclosures is incremental to the information provided by both an investment's equity method book value and equity method reported income. This suggests that there is nothing unique about investments in publicly traded common stock that involve significant influence that makes the fair value disclosures irrelevant for firm valuation.

KW - Accounting AB - This study examines the relation between stock prices and accounting earnings and book values in six Asian countries: Indonesia, South Korea, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan, and Thailand. The analysis is based on a residual earnings model that expresses the value of the firm in terms of book value and residual income. The model holds for any clean surplus accounting system. However, for finite time horizons, biased accounting may affect model estimates. The six countries examined in this study differ in faithfulness to clean surplus accounting as well as bias (conservatism). The study addresses two questions. First, are there systematic differences across countries in the value relevance of accounting, and are these differences related to accounting differences? Second, are there systematic differences in the incremental and relative information content of book value per share (BVPS) and abnormal (residual) earnings per share (REPS) across the countries, and are such differences related to accounting differences? We find differences across the six countries in the explanatory power of BVPS and REPS for firm values. Explanatory power for Taiwan and Malaysia is relatively low while that for Korea and the Philippines is relatively high. These differences are generally consistent with differences in accounting practice; however, since Korean accounting practice is strongly influenced by tax law, we did not expect the high association for Korea. Second, with respect to the incremental and relative explanatory power of BVPS and REPS, we find BVPS to have high explanatory power in the Philippines and Korea but little in Taiwan. In all six countries REPS has less explanatory power than BVPS in most years. Again, the evidence may be interpreted as suggesting accounting practice affects valuation (with Korea again as the exception). Finally, we provide evidence on the sensitivity of the timing of comparisons of stock prices and accounting values. We find that comparing prices at year-end (even though annual accounting information has not been released at that time), in general, provides the highest correlation between market and accounting numbers.

KW - Accounting AB - We examine the asset value of advertising expenditures for a sample of 320 firms with reported advertising expenditures for each of the 10 consecutive years ending in 1994. We find that, depending upon the industry, changes in advertising expenditures are significantly associated with earnings up to five years following the year of the expenditure. Furthermore, the asset values are significantly associated with the market values of the firms. Across all industries, the asset value of advertising expenditures appears to have a 3-year life with the greatest value on the current year and declining value in subsequent years. Asset values are found to be longest lived in the consumer products and industrial products industries and shortest lived in the sales and services industry.

Our results suggest a decline in the value relevance of Thai book values and earnings following the devaluation. Prior to mid 1997 the Bank of Thailand pegged the value of the baht to a basket of currencies of which 80% was weighted to the US dollar. In response to pressure by currency speculators the bank abandoned its peg on July 2 1997 in favor of a managed float. The devaluation was followed by volatile exchange rates. The change in value relevance of accounting information after the devaluation may be attributable to the initial recognition of foreign exchange losses and the subsequent recognition of foreign exchange gains as exchange rates fell and then recovered.
