Abstract

Using the decomposition method proposed by Hou and Loh (2016), we evaluate several current explanations for the accrual anomaly. The results of multivariate analysis show that cash-based operating profitability (CbOP) best explains the accrual
anomaly, with an explanatory power of about 50%. Risk-based explanations account for approximately 90% of the accrual anomaly, whereas the contributions of explanations based on arbitrage costs are quite limited, and the unexplained residual
fraction is negligible. Our findings suggest that the existing indicators explain most of the accrual anomaly and the risk-based explanations are preferable.
