| Abstract: | Based on a sample of firms from 20 countries, it is explored whether conditional conservatism (here as: cond-cons.) affects the value relevance (as: val-rel.) of accounting earnings (as: acc-erngs). It is found thet the association of cond-cons. with the val-rel. of acc-erngs. depends on the country-specific level of accrual intensity. It is found that this effect is incremental to that of shareholder protection on the val-rel. of acc-erngs. documented by Hung (in Journal of Accounting and Economics, 2001, vol. 30, p. 401-420). |
