The Effect of Free Cash Flow Agency Problem on the Value Relevance of Earnings and Book Value

Prior research identifies free cash flow (FCF) as one source of agency problems between managers and shareholders. Managers of firms with high FCF and of low growth opportunity tend to invest in marginal or even negative NPV project and use income increasing discretionary accruals to camouflage the effects of non‐wealth‐maximizing investments. Therefore, the objective of this study is to assess the value relevance of earnings and book value and the effect of agency problem caused by FCF, on the value relevance of earnings and book value. As predicted, results show that earnings and book value are value relevant and agency problem caused by FCF, reduces the value relevance of earnings and book value. However, the effect is not stable across sample years Firms with FCF agency problem do not have lower earnings (book value) coefficient than other firms in year 2002 (2004). Investigation into specific event that may have driven the difference in result is subject to further research.
