The Pricing of Accrual Quality
2010Contrary to the recent literature which suggests that accrual quality predicts low returns, we find a strong and long-lasting positive relation between the accrual quality measure of Dechow and Dichev (2002) (DD) and future returns. In decile portfolios that rank on DD, a hedge portfolio that goes long in the lowest decile and short in the highest ...

The return premiums to accruals quality
Review of Quantitative Finance and Accounting, 2015Using a battery of look-ahead-bias free measures of accruals quality (AQ), we find a strong and long-lasting negative relation between future returns and AQ. In decile portfolios that rank on AQ, a hedge portfolio that goes long in the lowest decile and short in the highest decile generates an annualized, risk-adjusted return of 4–12 % over 1-month to ...

Discussion of the Quality of Accruals and Earnings: The Role of Accrual Estimation Errors
The Accounting Review, 2002Dechow and Dichev (2002) model earnings quality as the magnitude of estimation errors in accruals, and provide empirical estimates of this construct based on the relation between accruals and cash flows. I characterize the innovation and limitations in this approach, and provide empirical evidence of measurement error in their empirical specification ...

Female Auditors and Accruals Quality
Accounting Horizons, 2012This paper examines the association between accruals quality and the gender of the firm’s audit engagement partner. In particular, given the documented gender-based differences in diligence, conservatism, and risk tolerance, we postulate that female auditors may improve accruals quality. Using a sample of Finnish and Swedish NASDAQ OMX listed firms, we

Accounting Accruals, Audit Quality, and Audit Pricing
European Accounting Review, 2021This study examines the impact of the interaction between firms' accounting choices and auditors' audit effort choices on audit pricing. In a multi-period model, I focus on a central feature of accounting: reversing accruals. I find that initial low-balling, defined as lower audit fees than audit costs, arises independently from the direction of ...

A Synthesis of Accrual Quality and Abnormal Accrual Models: An Empirical Implementation
Asia-Pacific Journal of Accounting & Economics, 2011Dechow and Dichev's (2002) accrual quality model suggests that the Jones (1991) abnormal accrual model can be improved with the inclusion of past, current, and future operating cash flows. A problem with the empirical implementation of this synthesis is that the augmented accrual model requires future operating cash flow information.
