Abstract

This chapter aims to investigate the results of the value relevance of accounting information with reference to the study: “The value relevance of accounting information in the Italian and UK stock markets”. Results revealed from this study are as follows: - First, evidence shows the greater value relevance of accounting information in Italy than in the UK, even if this result must be explained according to the sample's characteristics. Second, the study underlines that in Italy the most value relevant accounting data refer to earnings while in the UK the focus is mainly on cash flows. The chapter also seeks to contribute to the gap in the literature on the value relevance of accounting information in the UK and Italy. In so doing it investigates the relevance and reliability of results derived in this study, their applicability to current market developments – as well as recent fluctuations and volatility in the financial markets.
