Abstract

Earnings quality in financial reporting can influence confidence of investors in financial markets. Since the information and financial reporting environment of organizations is affected by the activity type of a business unit, quality of financial reporting is somehow influenced by these specifications and different activity types of organizations. So, this research aimed to study the relationship between operating cycle and quality of accounting information. The statistical population included the companies listed on Tehran Stock Exchange from 2008 to 2012, among which 110 companies were randomly selected based on Cochran's sample size formula. The research results showed no significant relationship between operating cycle and accruals quality. Also, it was found that increase in operating cycle would result in reduced earnings quality.
