Abstract

De nombreux travaux récents ont mis en évidence le rôle informationnel des accruals en général et ceux des accruals discrétionnaires en particulier. Certains ont testé cette relation d'une manière directe en étudiant l'effet des accruals sur la pertinence des bénéfices. D'autres l'ont fait d'une manière indirecte en étudiant leur effet sur les cash flows futurs ou sur la valeur de l'entreprise. Toutefois, aucune recherche ne s'est posée la question de voir si la désagrégation des accruals discrétionnaires augmenterait le pouvoir explicatif et prédictif du bénéfice. Les résultats de notre étude ont montré que les accruals discrétionnaires sont valorisés par les investisseurs français et que la désagrégation de ce type d'accruals améliore la pertinence du bénéfice comptable.
