| Research Abstract |
This study Involves the Securities and Exchange Commission's(SEC) Financial Reporting Requirements for Foreign Firms, the Necessity of Providing a Quantitative Reconciliation to U.S.GAAP(Form 20-F). The Results of Earnings-Returns Research Indicate that the Release of Foreign GAAP Provides Important Information. But the Results of Earnings-Returns Research Using Recociled Information are Mixed. Insead of Earnings-Returns Research Methodology, This Study Utilize Analysts' Revisions as a Market Indicator of the Effect of Information Released in Foreign GAAP and the Reconciled Information in Form 20-F.
Hypothesis 1 : The Abnormal Revision around the Time of Filings Form 20-F Increases with the Divergence of US GAAP Earnings and Foreign GAAP Earnings. I expect that There is a Direct Relationship between Analyst Following and the Amount of Information Disclosed by a Firm. Hypothesis 2 : The Abnormal Revision around the Time of Filings Form 20-F Decreases with the Number of Analyst Following the Firm. A High Level of Dispersion in Earnings Forecast Implies Disagreement amoung Forecasts. Thus It is Hypothesissed. Hypothesis 3 : The Abnormal Revision around the Time of Filings Form 20-F Increases with the Amount of Dispersion of Analyst' Expectation. Samples Consist of Non-US Firms(UK, GERMANY, FRANCE, NETHERLAND, ITALY Firms) on the New York Stock Exchanges. The source of data for the period prior to filings Form 20-F is Institutional Brokers Estimate System(I/B/E/S)International Databases.
