Doctoral research proposal

6. Problematics addressed:
Application of conservatism/prudence in accounting in early
regcognizing bad news has negative effects on firm’s persistence
and predictability, but the effects of good news recognition on
firms’ earnings in terms of persistence and predictability is not
examined much.
Research questions:
1. How the good news timeliness portion of conditional
conservatism affects earning persistence?
2. How the good news timeliness portion of conditional
conservatism affects earning predictability?
3. How the affects would be changed in the context of different
countries?

10. Ground of application: statistic figures of firm through
secondary data and primary date collected by in-depth interview
11. Type of result: model to identify the impact of good news for
earnings persistence and predictability of earnings of firm through
the application of conditional conservatism
12. Expected academic contribution:
1. Adds to complete understanding of good news timeliness portion
of conditional conservatism and as well as their relationships to
earnings persistence and predictability if existed.
2. Explain the way good news timeliness portion of conditional
conservatism would affects earnings persistence and predictability.

13. Expected managerial implications: assist management in


decision making in terms of accounting treatment by indicating
impacts of conditional conservatism applications of good news to
earnings of the firm for both short-term and long-term
14. Major limitations already found: there might be not clearly
differences of accounting standards in the near future, thus my
research approach might need to be adjusted.
