The other specific objective is to assess the level of earnings quality of listed firms in Nigeria. The expo facto design was adopted for this study on 47 listed firms on the Nigeria Stock Exchange. This design relies on secondary data in exploring the relationship between book-tax ratio and earnings quality. The result revealed that book-tax ratio has no significant positive association with earnings quality of listed firms in Nigeria. This suggests that taxable income does not convey additional incremental information on earnings with respect to contemporaneous stock returns and accruals. To the best of our knowledge, this is one of the few studies that have investigated the relationship between book-tax ratio and earnings quality in different sectors in Nigeria. The result has implication on capital market and earnings quality. Thus, the result of this study will be useful to capital market regulators, standard setters, and future researchers.展开更多

In Portugal, the taxable income of companies is derived from the accounting profit/loss. Adjustments are made to this figure to compute the taxable income. In this paper I will highlight the accounting and tax treatment of impairment losses in tangible assets, provisions, and the fair value method, concluding that the gap between accounting and tax rules did not diminish with the new system. In every one of the mentioned topics the rules inserted in the corporate tax code are quite different from the IFRS based accounting statements. Thus, an opportunity was lost to move towards a more harmonized system of computing book and tax income as far as corporate income tax is concerned展开更多
