A STUDY ON QUALITY OF EARNINGS IN FMCG SECTOR
B. Sudheer Kumar32 Dr. V. Mallikarjuna33
ABSTRACT
When any investor goes for investment, he sacrifices his present benefits for the sake of future profits. Any investment made is
to earn profits by accepting some sort of risk. In the wake of present Scenario of highly publicized financial frauds and
failures and accounting manipulations, the emphasis on earnings quality has renewed. That„s why investors and creditors
from all over the world are turning toward the assessment of the earnings quality of the individual company in which they are
trying to invest their investment. Through present study on quality earnings, it was found that various earnings quality proxy„s
which represent the quality of earnings position in the organization. The quality earnings from a company to company vary
according to the parameters they depend on. In the study, the quality earnings often are high in personal care industry and
leather industry. The results of present investigation show that intellectual capital has positive impact on earnings quality,
because relationship between VAIC values and DA is linear and inversely proportional and its lead to conclude that
intellectual capital has a positive role in best financial practices and reporting.
KEYWORDS
Calculation of Intellectual Capital, Human Capital Coefficient, Structural Capital Coefficient etc.
INTRODUCTION
There are many way through which the organizations are manipulating the financial statements, they use certain approaches that
help a firm to hide the true conditions. The investors need to assess the extent to which a firm's reported earnings are free from
mistake or manipulation, so they should have an idea about the possible approaches and ways the firms use to lower its earning
quality and increase their speculative profits. They are:
Recording revenue too soon or of questionable quality,
Recording fictitious revenue,
Boosting income with one-time gains,
Shifting current expense to a different period,
Failing to record or improperly reducing liabilities,
Shifting current revenue to a later period, and
Shifting future expenses to the current period as a special charge.
NEED OF STUDY
In order to understand a company financial report genuinely, you need to understand the accounting concepts that are used to
justify the accounting rules. Basically, these accounting concepts provide rule makers with guidance that will result in financial
reports the best help investors, creditors and other financial report user‗s asses. Investors overlook factors outside the financial
reporting system that quantify their profits or losses most of the time without even their acknowledgement, by the study of earning
quality of the firm we can throne a light on all the other factors that can affect earnings quality and organizations true earnings, by
which the investors, creditors, share holders and others depend on the firm‗s financial well-being get benefited.
OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
To estimate earning quality of selected industries,
To develop between intellectual capital and earning quality,
To establish relationship between earning quality and stock returns,
To develop relationship between values added intellectual co-efficient and its components,
To develop between discretionary accruals with other components.

LITERATURE REVIEW
There are many literatures published on the different approaches used for assessment of quality of earnings. Earnings quality is
used in numerous empirical studies to show trends over time; to evaluate changes in financial accounting standards and in other
institutions, such as enforcement and corporate governance; to compare financial reporting systems in different countries; and to
study the effect of earnings quality on the cost of capital.
Jennifer bender and frank Nielsen (2013) indicated that earning quality as an investment signal has been popular
among equity portfolio managers for the last decade. The basic idea behind this accruals anomaly is that stocks with
high and increasing accruals tend to have low earnings quality, while stocks with low and decreasing accruals tend to
have high earning quality. The earnings quality signal stopped working in the mid-2000s, but has staged a remarkable
rebound since the end of 2008. The authors evaluate whether earnings quality is a true alpha signal, a risk factor, or
both. They find that, in the periods when the signal worked, the strategy was largely driven by stock selection,
suggestion that earnings quality is indeed an alpha signal. The authors also find that earnings quality is not a good risk
factor, in that it does not have high statistical significance when regressed cross-sectional on returns, along with other
well-known risk factors, and is not very volatile over time. Overall, their results indicate that earnings quality may be
that rare example of a pure alpha factor.
Ralf Ewert and Alfred Wagenhofer (2009) discussed and evaluated the usefulness and appropriateness of commonly
used earnings metrics. In a rational expectations equilibrium model, through studying the information content of
earnings that can be biased by a manager who has market price, earnings, and smoothing incentives. It defines earnings
quality as the reduction of the market‘s uncertainty about the firm‘s terminal value due to the earnings report and
compares this measure with value relevance, persistence, predictability, smoothness, and accrual quality. The evaluation
is based on their ability to capture the effects of a variation of the manager‘s incentives and information, and of
accounting risk. It is found that each metric captures different effects, but some of them, including value relevance and
persistence, are closely related to our earnings quality measure. Discretionary accruals are problematic as their behavior
depends on specific circumstances. These results provide insights into regulatory changes and guidance for selecting
earnings quality metrics in empirical tests of earnings quality.
Jeffrey T. Doyle, Weili Ge, and Sarah McVay (2007), examined the relation between accruals quality and internal
controls using 705 firms that disclosed at least one material weakness from August 2002 to November 2005 and find
that weaknesses are generally associated with poorly estimated accruals that are not realized as cash flows. Further, it is
found that this relation between weak internal controls and lower accruals quality is driven by weakness disclosures that
relate to overall company‐level controls, which may be more difficult to ―audit around.‖ No such relation for more
auditable, account‐specific weaknesses is found. Similar results using four additional measures of accruals quality:
discretionary accruals, average accruals quality, historical accounting restatements, and earnings persistence are
estimated. The results obtained are robust to the inclusion of firm characteristics that proxy for difficulty in accrual
estimation, known determinants of material weaknesses, and corrections for self‐selection bias.
Nahum D. Melumad and Doron Nissim (2008), discussed about earning quality and the related concepts of earning
management, focusing on the primary financial accounts. For each key line-item from the financial statements, it is
summarized that accountings and economic consideration applicable to that item, discuss implications for earning
quality, evaluate the susceptibility of the item to manipulation, and identify potential red flags. The red flags and
specific issues discussed for the individual line-item provide a frame work for fundamental and contextual analysis by
academic researcher and practitioner
METHODOLOGY & COLLECTION OF THE DATA
In this study, secondary data was used to achieve the designated Objectives. The secondary data is from various websites,
magazines, journals and financial newspapers.
The collected parameters are Revenue, debt, assets, book value and cash flow from operations, fixed assets, expenses and
employee cost. The analysis was made based on secondary data, published papers and expert opinion.
DATA ANALYSIS PROCEDURE
For the study, certain approaches are used to assess the quality of earnings, intellectual capital and stock returns.

Calculation of Quality Earnings
Quality of earnings is calculated through the following formula
DA i,t :Is discretionary accrual that is a proxy of earnings quality
TAi,t : Represents total accruals measured as net income minus cash flow from operations of firm i in year t.
i.e., TA = NI – CFFO; NI = NET INCOME; CA = CAS FLOW FROM OPERATION
REVi, t is REENUE of firm i in year t
REC i, t is RECEIABLES of firm i in year t
PPE i, t is plant, property and equipment i.e., firms i FIXED COST in year t
Ai, t-1 is TOTAL ASSETS at the end of year t-1 of the firm i
Later the value is calculated by using the multiple regression equation, which is as:
Follows,
Here the equation is in the form of y = a + x1b + x2c + x3d, through applying the regression analysis to the above equation we can
get DA value. The regression analysis can be applied by the software that is analysis tool pak, after applying regression to the
above equation the resulted x1 – intercept, x2 – intercept, x3 – intercept should be substituted in the DA formula to get the value
of DA.
DA : Discretionary Accurals

Caluculation of Intellectual Capital (VAIC)
Value Added Intellectual Coefficient (VAIC) Calculation
1. Value Added (VA)
VA = OUT – IN, OUT = Revenues, IN = Expenses
2. Human Capital Coefficient (HCE)
HCE = VA/HC, HC = Employee cost
3. Structural Capital Coefficient (SCE)
SCE = SC/VA , SC = VA-HC, SC = Structural cost
4. Capital Employed Efficiency (CEE)
CEE = VA/CA, CA = Book-value of net assets
5. Value Added Intellectual Coefficient (VAIC)
VAIC = HCE+SCE+ CEE
Caluculation of stock returns (R)
STOCK RETURNS (R) = (P1-P0)/P0*100
Here, P1 = Closin price
P0 = Opening price

Interpretation: It can be seen that the ITC company exhibit highest earning quality 28761.21 in 2009, this indicates low DA
values and high earning quality and the firm also shows low earning quality in 2014 which is 78608.54.
Note: I can mention one sample calculation of earning quality of selected industries and remaining as usual same as above
example.

Figure-1: Relationship between VAIC and DA of ITC
Sources: Authors Compilation
Interpretation: The relations of VAIC and DA have a directly proportional. So the company represents same that the VAIC will
have a positive influence on the DA because in the company using its intellectual capital efficiency then the officials does not try
to manipulate the earninga of the company.
Note: I can mention one sample calculation of intellectual capital and earning quality selected industries and remaining as usual
same as above example.

Figure-2: Relationship b/w STOCK RETURNS and DA of ITC
Sources: Authors Compilation
Interpretation: It is observed that the Stock returns and DA relationship is inversely proportional because high accruals
suggesting low-quality earnings are associated with poor stock returns in that relative year. When the Stock returns are high,DA
will be less which indicates earnings quality is high. The relationship between stock returns and DA of Itc is not significant
because of R2 = 0.175.
Note: I can mention one sample calculation of earning quality and stock returns of selected industries and remaining as usual
same as above example.

Figure-5: Relationship b/w VAIC and CEE of ITC
Sources: Authors Compilation
Interpretation: SCE (structural capital co-efficiency), represents the optimum structure of the firm which points out low debts
and better VAIC investment to enhance the value of the company and intellectual if considered appropriate structural capital, if
not the debts will be high than the profits which becomes the reason for the companies to use manipulated earnings.
CEE (Capital employed efficiency), is usually available for the firm for the purpose of operations it should be used intellectually,
by the intellectual use of capital employed in the firm only the firm can perform better and avoid the fraud earnings representation
in the financial statements.
Note: I can mention one sample calculation of value added intellectual co-efficient and its components of selected industries and
remaining as usual same as above example.

FINDINGS
Through present study on quality earnings, it was found that various earnings quality proxy‘s which represent the quality
of earnings position in the organization.
The quality earnings from a company to company vary according to the parameters they depend on.
The results of present investigation show that intellectual capital has positive impact on earnings quality, because
relationship between VAIC values and DA is linear and inversely proportional and its lead to conclude that intellectual
capital has a positive role in best financial practices and reporting.
Earnings with high accruals suggesting low-quality earnings are associated with poor stock returns in that relative year.
The Human capital efficiency (HCE) and Capital employed efficiency (CEE) both have a positive relation with the VAIC
whereas Structural capital efficiency (SCE) has an inverse relationship with VAIC because the employed capital is not
properly used for the operating a structure that makes the intellectuals become efficient.
The components of the DA that are VAIC, LEVIT (leverage), SIZEIT (total assets) combine shows a little effect on the
majority of the companies however individual components especially VAIC has predominant influence on the quality
earnings.

CONCLUSION
The Study of Quality of Earnings is useful for the investors and any person who are depending on the company‘s financial
statement, it helps the investors the firms‘ financial position is real, rather than that reported by the firms itself. The investors are
suffer which company is best to invest the money, because of now companies are to show the high earnings only based on that
reported earnings shown by the company due to the manipulations done. So through the study the earnings quality of the 10
companies from 1 sector is considered.
The Quality of earnings topic arose from the wake of many situations in the present scenario, which are representing the
manipulations in the reported earnings to promote the companies‘ shares. It is revealed in the study done that most of the
companies try to manipulate the reported earnings at least to a certain extent by adding abnormal earnings to the companies true
earnings.
The investors who are trying to invest in any company should not only consider the reported earnings but should also analyze
quality of those earnings. In the study some of the companies‘ like ITC, Dabur, Britannia, Himalaya, Godrej, Emami, Nestle,
Ruchi showed good quality earnings so the small investors should try to invest their investment in these type of companies,
whereas speculators can consider the companies like Pidilite, Marico that have somewhat low earnings quality because they are
ready to face risk.
The companies that have good quality earnings are the companies that pay their taxes properly. So government can give subsides
on the taxation in order to encourage the company for maintaining true earnings.
