Tiivistelmä:When analysts offer forecasts of earnings and operating cash flow, there is also implicitly provided a forecast of total operating accruals.

Thus, it is predicted and found that accrual quality improves and firms' propensity to meet earnings benchmarks declines following the provision of cash flow forecasts etc.
