تحليل العلاقة بين مؤشرات نمو الشركة و جودة ارباحها بالتطبيق على مجموعة من الشركات المساهمة السعودية للفترة (2009-2018)‎

Abstract EN

The quality of earning is one of the most important elements used in evaluating the real financial reality of the company, which is reflected in its financial statements and future profits, as the current study included an analysis of the relationship between the quality of earning and the growth of companies for four companies registered in the Saudi stock market and for the period (2009-2018).

Both accounting conservatism and the criterion of closeness to cash models were relied upon to measure the quality of these companies' earnings.

While both the sustainable growth and the internal growth models were used in measuring the growth of the research sample companies.

The statistical analysis represented by finding the correlation coefficient was used for the purpose of examining the relationship between the growth factors and the quality of earning used in the current study.

The results showed a strong relationship between the criterion of closeness to cash model as a measure of the quality of earning and both the coefficients of sustainable growth and internal growth.

The results also presented the absence of a clear relationship between the accounting conservatism coefficient and the measured growth coefficients in the current study of the research sample.

The current study recommends the importance of the obligation to disclose profits in line with accounting principles and sorting out companies that follow the method of profit management and manipulation of financial statements.

The study also recommends conducting more research in the field of measuring the quality of earning and its relationship to the growth of companies
