Abstract:
     This study intends to investigate the comparative quality of historical cost accounting (HCA) and inflation-adjusted accounting (IAA) information. By measuring the reliability of accounting information, the results of the study show that both HCA and IAA information are significant in predicting future accounting information. However, historical cost based regression have higher predictive ability (reliability) for future cash flow than inflation-adjusted based regression.
