Corporate sales, predisclosure information, and return variability
Article Abstract:
Accounting report and financial statement data are prominent investor information sources for equity price determination. An assessment on the determinants of return variability between accounting report and non-report period has been presented. Relative return variability is a measure of the information content of accounting reports. Because this measure indicates the usefulness of accounting information to investors, the investigation of relative return variability is important in the design and evaluation of accounting disclosure and financial statement preparation.
