| Abstract: | This article empirically examines whether companies relative earnings performance (REP)-based accrual decisions are related to earnings correlation with industry and relative announcement timing. The results support the authors hypothesis, which stated that when a companys REP is poor, firms with high earnings correlation and relative announcement delay adjust discretionary accruals more actively than companies characterized otherwise. |
