Tiivistelmä: | This paper examines the empirical relation between a firm's accounting conservatism and management's issuance of quantitative earnings forecast. Three measures of conservatism from prior literature are used along with two aggregate measures. A negative association between conservatism and the frequency, specificity, and timeliness of management forecasts is found. These results are robust to estimating the regression in changes, using firm fixed-effects, and using a two-stage instrumental variables approach. Overall, the results suggest accounting conservatism acting as a substitute for management forecasts by decreasing information asymmetry in the market and reducing potential litigation through the timely reporting of bad news. |
