        Accounting conservatism has recently been under attacked. For example, Financial Accounting StandardBoard (FASB) point out that conservatism increase conflict between qualitative characteristics such asrepresentational faithfulness, neutrality, and comparability. The Board concludes that any attempt tounderstate results consistently is likely to raise question about the reliability and integrity of informationabout those results. Recently, in the IASB and FASB joint conceptual framework, conservatism andprudence have been abolished. In other side, some of researchers such as Professor Watts from the universityof Rochester tried to provide a better understanding of accounting conservatism in Accounting Horizon(2003). He defended accounting conservatism by documenting of the research results.Watts suggests thatconservatism likely evolved from the contracting role of accounting. He argues that accounting conservatismhelps to reduce agent's opportunistic behavior and mitigates conflicts of interest over dividend policybetween shareholders and bondholders.This study, by adopting of new studies outcomes on accounting conservatism, develops a new firm-levelconservatism measure from Givoly & Hayn (2000) accrual model. This measure represents conservatismmeasure from an income statement and balance sheet perspective. The outcomes of the study indicated thataccounting conservatism measure has positively correlated to return on asset (ROA) and sale growth, on theother hand, has negatively correlated to leverage and cash flows from operations to total assets ratio.The research results show firms experiencing more severe bondholder-shareholder dividend policy conflictsadopt less conservative accounting and firms that use more conservative accounting incur a high debt ratio.The results also suggest existence of high income smoothing and show a strict decrease in accountingconservatism in Iranian financial reporting environment. This decrease accompanies with decreases ofprofitability index (ROA) and economic performance index (CFO/Asset). It seems governmental ownershipand governmental management and lack of management accountability are important factors of this problemin Iranian industries. The outcomes of this study differ from the US studies results. Manuscript profile

        The contemporary phenomenon of market globalization, competition and technical developments haveresulted in companies becoming more international in their orientation and have also led to increasedcomplexity in the business environment. While capital markets now offer unforeseen investmentopportunities, one important development associated with these trends is the tendency of investors to beconfronted with an abundance of information about myriad corporate activities. In addition to making therequired compulsory disclosures, more and more companies are disclosing information on a voluntarybusiness – presumably in the hopes that this extra data hasten the stock market to recognize hidden elements.In this article, we provide some insights into why the value gap is responsible for the enhanced demand forextra disclosures. We also outline some of the more important frameworks that have emerged in thecontemporary literature on disclosures, and we explore the potentially critical impact of XBRL (eXtensibleBusiness Reporting language) and XARL (eXtensible Assurance Reporting Language) on this topic. Finally,we present exist view about some of the likely implication of the trend toward additional voluntarydisclosures Manuscript profile

        During the recent decades, the significant role played by information has turned information management inorganizations into a challenging subject. To improve this, various organizational solutions were proposed,one of the most prominent of which was enterprise resource planning (ERP).Utilizing enterprise resource planning systems in Iranian organizations is a necessity. Since enterpriseresource planning systems are an importing technology, organizations should choose the most suitableoption, from among various organizational solutions during a decision making process. Designing thisprocess requires identification of effective factors and criteria in decision making. These are the factors andcriteria which, when considered in decision making, cause the organization to act properly while respondingto its needs and problems.Although there is a great need for paving the way to this decision making, little studies have been done inthis regard in our country which has created a gap between Iranian organizations and enterprise resourceplanning systems. This article is prepared to fill this gap, to reduce decision making risks, and to encourageorganizations to pass this doubtful path. To do this, two distinct questionnaires have been used to identify theeffective factors and criteria in decision making for utilizing enterprise resource planning systems. The majorexperts and counselors in this field, who are developing this system, had their opinions used. The effectivefactors and criteria were then classified into technical and organizational perspectives.After specifying the priorities of the elements, creating harmony among the systems in order to elevate theinformative trend of the organization in organizational view, matching and cooperating the software packageof ERP with the organization processes were all identified as the most important elements of which themethods of applying the elements to decide the application of ERP is explained through presenting appliedsuggestion in this research Manuscript profile

        This paper studies the dispersion around the workers expected reward of before and after controlling theorganizational hierarchical positions in cross section data samples. Data collected form 694 managers andworkers of 69 industrial and business organizations, showd that this dispersion decreases with education andwork experience before entering the current job and increases with job tenure. These finding contrasts withprevious researches show a positive association between reward dispersion and education and workexperience. This study explains the new finding through a model of learning that separates from rewarddispersion between jobs and within organizational hierarchical positions jobs. The model takes advantage ofthe information revealed when workers are promoted to their current hierarchical positions and allows formore robust tests of learning theories. This study also contributes to the existing literature through a new twoequation empirical model, one for the level of reward and another for conditional dispersion, in order to testthe theoretical predictions. The paper is organized as follows:Summarize the empirical implications of learning models in studying the determinants of workers' rewardwhen information is available about managers and workers' job positions.Description of the database and methodology and so present the results of the estimation of the empiricalmodel.
