ACCOUNTING CONSERVATISM: A LITERATURE REVIEW

Abstract

The aim of this study is to present a literature review for accounting conservatism that is one of the most ancient and debatable concepts in accounting. As a consequence of these debates, it is also an attractive topic for academic research. Initially theoretical background is examined for accounting conservatism which consists of definition, explanations for existence of accounting conservatism and measurement methods in order to provide a better insight. Then academic studies on accounting conservatism are analyzed under three major categories. Due to the vast number of studies, most commonly cited ones in well-known academic journal or meetings are selected to be presented. One of the inferences of this study is the lack of interest on this topic in Turkey. This fruitful area needs to be examined in order to observe the evidence for Turkish case. Additionally recent exemption of conservatism (prudence) from IASB’s Framework enhances the significance of the topics as a research question.
