Conditional conservatism appears in prompt recognition of loss toward earnings that is so called asymmetric timeliness of earnings. The asymmetric timeliness of earnings could arise from other phenomenon which is called costs stickiness. Costs stickiness means that costs are increasing during the sales increase, but when the sales decrease, the costs reduction will not be as much as prior increase. However, information asymmetry leads to apply more conservatism in financial reporting, that this relationship is also influenced by the cost stickiness. This research aims to identify the effect of costs stickiness on conditional conservatism and Asymmetry Information. In order to attain the research purpose, 115 companies among the listed companies in Tehran Stock Exchange during the years 1382 to 1391 (2003-2012) were selected as statistical samples For data analysis and hypothesis testing, multivariable regression and compound data have been used. Findings of research signify that after controlling for the effect of costs stickiness, conditional conservatism will decrease, which means that a part of asymmetric timeliness of earnings model is due to costs stickiness. Results also indicate that there is a significant positive relationship between the information asymmetry and costs stickiness, which decreases the effect of information asymmetry on conditional conservatism.

International Federation of Automatic Control (IFAC) provides a framework explaining the development of management accounting based on a four stages ‘Evolution’ model including: 1) Cost determination and financial control, 2) Collection and Processing of information for planning and control purposes, 3) Business process and resources waste reduction, 4) Value creation through effective use of resources. In this study, we sought to understand the current standing of Management Accounting in Iran and the stage it revolves as per above listed four stages. Abdelkader and Luther (2006) with its proposed draft in several conferences and interviews with Management Accounting experts in UK; revealed that the resulted Cronbach's alpha coefficient from their studies stands higher than 0.63, which assignes 40 techniques, concepts and practices of Management Accounting to the four stages of development. In this thesis we studied the status of these 40 techniques in Iran.The first level, “Cost Determination and Financial Control”, is being frequently used, however other levels are being used in a much lower degree.Two management accounting practices were found to be indisputably widely used, these are “A Plant-wide Overhead Rate” and “Performance Evaluation Based on Financial Measures”. Seven Management Accounting practices were found to be used moderately, Other management accounting practices are being used at a lower degree.The importance level of the first stage “Cost Determination and Financial Control” is moderate; however the importance level of following three stages is high. The importance of these stages from the lowest to the highest are as follows; the first stage, the second stage, the fourth stage and finally the third stage.“A Plant-wide Overhead Rate” as a management accounting practices, was shown to have lower importance. 14 management accounting practices were found to be moderately important including.Finally importance level of 21 management accounting practices is high.The high priority techniques for implementation in organizations are: “Performance Evaluation Based on Non-financial Measures”, “Classification of Costs into Variable and Fixed”, “Performance Evaluation Based on Economic Value Added”, “Benchmarking” and “Activity Based Costing”.

It could be said that all the users of financial information attempt to predict future event with current information. The more value relevance of information would be lead to the usefulness of application of them in decision making. One of the items that attract the most attention of users is reported earnings. For application of relevant factor in decision making, earnings could be divided into sustainable and unsustainable components. The target of this research is examining the value relevance of company information. Our sample in this examination is divided into two groups: traditional and non-traditional, with use of this term, which company records their scarce resource investment in the form of assets and which record in the form of expense. In all the analyses, the earning is considered into sustainable and unsustainable separately. Also the association of economic condition with value relevance of information for a 7 years period (1384-1390) is examined. Our result show that separation of earnings into sustainable and unsustainable would increase the value relevance and the value relevance of non-traditional companies is also more than traditional companies. Furthermore, there was no significant relationship between value relevance and economic condition that was measured by the level of investment and growth expectations.
