The study aims to provide empirical evidence on the impact of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and accounting comparability (AC) on earnings persistence (EP) in listed firms on the Vietnamese stock market. Data were collected from 76 companies that have disclosure financial statements, annual reports, and CSR of companies and listed firms on the Vietnamese stock market in the period from 2014 to 2017. The study used the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) regression method to evaluate the correlation. We believe that CSR and AC have a positive impact on EP. The study helps to contribute to a review of previous studies on the relationship between CSR disclosure, AC and EP in developing countries. The study points out some policy implications for regulators and firms on transparency in an information disclosure to increase AC and CSR on the basis of maintaining EP.
Income data are useful for making economic decisions and anticipating future revenues. Earning quality, or the utility of earnings in making decisions, is determined by real economic performance. Firms with greater performance should, on average, have higher profits quality. Managers, investors, and scholars are interested in the influence of earnings management (EM) on earnings persistence (EP). This study evaluates the relationship between these variables in terms of accrual, real EM, board composition, and EP. We conducted quantitative research using GMM regression on a sample of 228 listed businesses in the Vietnamese stock market from 2014 to 2017. Our findings indicate that accrual earnings management (AEM) is associated with a negative connection with EP, but real earnings management (REM) is associated with a mixed association with EP. Additionally, the data indicate that board of directors (BODs) play a critical role in EP. Our research contributes to the existing body of knowledge by establishing a foundation for future research in this subject and by proposing some feasible options for functional government agencies and enterprise management interested in enhancing EP.
