The study aims to compare whether using Earnings Response Coefficient (ERC) is better than using the new concept of Accounting Earnings Response Coefficient (AERC) in determining the earnings quality response coefficient value. Also, the study seeks to explain the effect of company characteristics and corporate governance on AERC through voluntary disclosure and information asymmetry. Research samples include 69 manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange over the period 2014-2017. The data come from annual reports, stock market prices, CSPI, EPS, stock returns and market returns. The research model is tested using the structural equation model (SEM) with partial least square (PLS). The results showed the value of the earnings response coefficient produced by AERC and ERC was different. Earnings quality resulting from AERC regression by adding CFO values better reflects the actual earnings quality. These results are consistent with the concept built from the proposition about earnings quality at AERC, that quality earnings are informative accounting earnings. The theoretical findings of this study provide an explanation that operational cash flow plays a role in evaluating earnings quality, while providing reinforcement that the ERC regression model fails to detect stock market reactions to information relevant to the aggregated values of accounting earnings.

Purpose - This study examines whether internal control has an effect on stock price informativeness about future earnings. High quality internal control provides continuous assurance for the quality of financial reports, and these future earnings-related information is accurately reflected in the current stock price. Design/methodology/approach - This study collected 12,862 data from 2006 to 2021 in China to make an empirical analysis using the future earnings response coefficient (FERC) and the multiple regression analysis were hired in order to analyze the data. Findings - We find that internal control strengthens the association between current returns and future earnings, indicating that more information about future earnings is reflected in current stock prices. This positive effect exists in both the main board market and the growth enterprise market of China's stock market, especially in the main board market after the implementation of the internal control policy. In addition, we find that the positive effect is weaker for firms that report internal control deficiencies or receives non unqualified internal control audit opinions. The results using earnings persistence yield similar findings, further supporting the results based on the FERC model. Research Implications or Originality - Our tests provide strong evidence that the quality of internal control affects FERC in China stock market.

Audit review is the system to review the audit procedures performed and the audit opinion expressed by the independent auditors. The public audit review performed by Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) is regarded as one of the most important means to maintain the reliability of accounting information in Korea. We examinate the effect of audit review on earnings quality by using ERC (earnings response coefficient). We find that ERC of the sample group which issued the audit error reports after they were reviewed by SSB is more effective and higher than one of the non-reviewed group, matching group. We infer that the audit review system has the effectiveness in Korea.

Purpose - This study investigates how earnings volatility influences current stock price informativeness about expectations of future earnings. Design/methodology/approach - I adopt the FERC model developed by Collins et al. (1994) and modified by Lundholm and Myers (2002) to investigate the connection between earnings volatility and future earnings reflected in current returns. I define five-year rolling standard deviations of earnings and components as earnings volatility measures and the degree of deviation of earnings from cash flows over the same five-year, which is developed by Jayaraman (2008). Finding - My results show that earnings volatility delays current stock price response to future operation expectations. They also verify that as earnings are more divergent from cash flows, current returns are less timely incorporating value-relevant future operation. Research implications or Originality This study shows that when volatile earnings deliver obscure and unreliable information about future operation expectations, they cause the market to be conflicting in understandings their implications and make it difficult in attaining correct future cashflow estimates.

본 연구는 조세혜택이 큰 기업의 미래이익 정보효과는 조세혜택이 낮은 기업의 미래이익 정보효과보다 클 것이라는 가설을 실증분석 하는데 목적이 있다. 본 연구의 가설은 조세혜택이 커질 경우, 보수주의 회계처리는 증가하고, 정보비대칭 수준은 감소한다는 남혜정 외(2013)와 정현욱 외(2016)의 연구에 근거하여 설정하였다. 본 연구에서 사용한 실증분석 모형은 Tucker and Zarowin(2006)의 미래이익반응계수 모형(FERC, Future Earnings Response Coefficient)을 바탕으로 설정하였으며, 조세혜택 측정치는 남혜정 외(2013), 선은정 외(2015) 및 정현욱 외(2016)의 방법론에 근거하여 측정하였다. 2002부터 2009년까지 유가증권시장 상장법인(금융업 제외)을 대상으로 실증분석을 실시 한 결과, 조세혜택 측정치와 미래이익 간의 교호변수 사이에 유의한 양(+)의 값을 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 본 연구에서는 이익의 변동성, 기업의 성장성(MB비율), 기업의 규모, 기업지배구조 및 감사품질을 실증분석 모형에 포함하여 추가분석을 실시하였으며, 그 결과는 일관된 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과에 따르면, 조세혜택이 큰 기업의 미래이익 정보효과는 조세혜택이 작은 기업의 미래이익 정보효과보다 높은 것으로 해석할 수 있을 것이다. 즉, 이는 조세혜택이 커질수록 미래이익의 정보효과는 증가하는 것으로 해석되며, 또한 조세부담이 커질 경우, 미래이익의 정보효과는 감소하게 된다는 것을 시사할 수 있다. 미래이익의 정보효과와 관련된 연구에서는 다양한 기업특성변수를 이용하여 미래이익의 정보효과를 분석하고 있지만, 기업이 부담하고 있는 조세와 미래이익의 정보효과와의 관계를 분석한 연구는 거의 없는 실정이다. 이러한 점에서 본 연구는 조세전략이 미래이익의 정보효과에 영향을 미칠 수 있다는 실증결과를 제시한다는 점에서 차별성이 있다고 판단된다. 또한, 본 연구는 투자자들이 기업의 조세특성에 따라 의사결정이 달라 질 수 있다는 자료를 제시한다는 점에서 함의점이 있다고 판단된다.

We examine the effects of the complexity of tax-related information on the issuance of analyst's pre-tax income forecast and its value relevance. If analysts respond adequately to the needs of investors, they are more likely to provide a pre-tax income forecast. The provision of a pre-tax income forecast may indicate analysts' confidence in assessing the quality of earnings. Thus, investors, in turn, would be more confident in the analysts' pre-tax income forecasts if analysts provide both pre-tax and earnings forecasts than only the latter. Using a sample of Korean listed companies for 2005-2014, we find that analysts are likely to provide an implicit tax forecast when the volatility of the effective tax rate is low and the book-tax differences are small. We also find that when analysts provide pre-tax and after tax income forecasts, the value relevance for unexpected earnings increases. These results indicate that analysts are likely to be interested in corporate tax information and the complexity of tax-related information affects the availability of implicit tax forecasts. Furthermore, this study provides empirical evidence that when analysts provide both pre-tax and after tax income forecasts, investors have more confidence in analysts' earnings forecasts, which results in greater investors' responses.
