问题如下:
Which of the following statement is most appropriate about the financial statements quality?
选项:
A.It may lead to a low-quality financial statement if using conservative accounting choices.
B.It is unlikely to cause a low-quality financial statement if managing the earnings.
C.It always means a low-quality financial statement if the cash flows are unsustainable.
解释:
A is correct.
Earnings management always be regarded as a sign of low-quality financial statements. Even if earnings or cash flows are unsustainable or low quality, the firm's financial statements can still be high quality.
Conservative accounting choices can cause a bias and result in low-quality financial statements.
考点:财务报表质量的判断
B选项错误,利润操纵一直被视为低质量财务报表的标志。
C选项错误,不稳定的现金流并不一定意味着财报低质量。财报质量和盈利质量是两回事,报质量要求企业遵守会计准则,而盈利质量是指公司的盈利要金额高,可持续。
A选项正确。不管是保守还是激进,都会导致会计报表有bias,只是两者相比,保守的政策比激进的更好一些。高的会计报表质量应该是中立的,不高估也不低估企业的数据,即不激进也不保守。
it will lead to a high-quality earnings if using conversative accounting,是不是就对了?或者it will lead to a low-quality earnings if using conversative accounting, 就错了?
也就是保守/激进会计处理影响的是earnings,并不是financial reporting.
财报的质量高低主要看relevance和faith represetation?
