Accounting Based Valuation Models are financial assessment frameworks that utilize a company's financial statements, particularly earnings and book value, to estimate its intrinsic value. These models analyze historical and projected financial data to inform investment decisions and assess the company's performance relative to its market price.

Key research themes

1. How is risk systematically incorporated into accounting-based business valuation models?

This research theme investigates the integration and quantification of risk and uncertainty in accounting-based valuation frameworks for businesses. It addresses the challenges of modeling risk factors affecting firm value, the selection of appropriate risk measures in simulation-based valuations, and the systematic classification of risks inherent in business valuation. The motivation arises from the recognition that risk directly affects expected cash flows and discount rates, yet traditional valuation approaches often inadequately capture these dimensions or rely heavily on market-based proxies. A rigorous risk incorporation ensures more accurate valuation results that can inform decision making, investment, and strategic planning.

Key finding: This paper uses the Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP) to systematically classify and quantify risk factors affecting business valuation, distinguishing between internal and external (systematic and unsystematic) risks. It... Read more
Key finding: The study identifies that only position-invariant risk measures comply with axiomatic properties suitable for simulation-based business valuation and derives corresponding valuation equations. It advances valuation... Read more
Key finding: This paper establishes simulation-based business valuation as a superior alternative to CAPM-based methods by deriving risk from actual company-specific risk profiles through unbiased simulations of cash flow scenarios. It... Read more

2. How do different valuation schools and accounting models influence the application and interpretation of accounting-based valuation approaches?

This theme explores the evolution and comparative analysis of accounting valuation models as influenced by historical, institutional, and cultural valuation schools (notably American, British, and German) along with emerging accounting standards and practices. It reveals how these schools adopt different assumptions about income, cash flows, and discounting, which shape the valuation outcomes and the acceptability of specific accounting models, including the use of historical cost versus fair or market values. Understanding schools’ perspectives facilitates the harmonization and contextual adaptation of valuation methods, improving valuation objectivity and relevance.

Key finding: This comparative study elucidates the distinct assumptions and methodologies underpinning the income approach among US, British, and German valuation schools, noting significant divergences in how each school treats explicit... Read more

3. What are the theoretical and empirical developments in accounting-based valuation models emphasizing earnings quality and accrual accounting?

Research under this theme centers on the development, critical commentary, and empirical evaluation of accrual accounting valuation models emphasizing the quality of earnings as a core determinant of firm value. It covers foundational models such as the Residual Income Valuation Model (RIV), Evaluation of Earnings Quality (EQ) dimensions (persistence, predictability, informativeness), and theoretical refinements that relax assumptions like the clean surplus relation. The focus is on linking accounting earnings and book values to intrinsic firm value, using robust empirical methodologies to understand how accounting information reflects or predicts market valuations.

Key finding: This comprehensive literature review and empirical modeling work highlights that higher earnings quality—characterized by persistence, predictability, and informativeness—improves the usefulness of accounting data in firm... Read more
Key finding: The paper critiques residual income and abnormal earnings growth models, recognizing their fundamental reliance on the clean surplus accounting assumption, which is often violated in practice due to 'dirty' systems like U.S.... Read more
Key finding: Empirical analysis across multiple countries demonstrates that accounting measures diluted earnings per share (EPS) and book value per share (BVPS) significantly influence the stock price of high-technology service firms,... Read more
