DISCRETIONARY ACCRUAL METHODMeasuring earnings
quality using discretionary accrual method The modified Jones model (Dechow, Sloan and Sweeney, 1995) is one of the models used todetermine quality of earnings (earnings management). Accounting fundamentals are used toseparate accruals into nondiscretionary (normal) and discretionary (abnormal) components.The absolute value of the abnormal
component determines the quality of earnings. Larger theabsolute value of discretionary accrual, lower the quality of earnings (Dechow et. al., 1995). Concepts:a.

Jones Model Step 1 Total accruals ( TA

), and cash flow from operations ( CFO

Net cash flow from operations (CFO) = Total Accruals (TA) Step 2 To estimate abnormal accruals ( AA
i,t
) for company i (your company) in year t (2009) , thefollowing cross-sectional regression is performed for the industry group (for your selectedAustralian company)
containing 10 companies [(other than your company), (at least 20companies normally)] in one year for 2009 financial year: TA

for company i ;

= the residual of company i for time t ; Suggestion: When selecting the 10 companies as a control, pick the top 10 companies by market capitalisation from
the same industry (or even subindustry; good matching will result in a better outcome). Step 3 The industry year (2009) specific parameter estimates from the above model is used toestimate company specific normal accruals ( NA

The absolute value of abnormal accruals (

AA

) is the measure of earnings quality with

lower values indicating higher earnings quality.
Step 4 Repeat step 3 for the 10 firms and calculate the abnormal accrual for the 10 firms Step 5 Calculate the mean and median abnormal accrual for 10 firms (industry control group,excluding your company) and compare the abnormal accrual of your firm with the industrymean and median.
