7. Conclusion
Our approach in this review is to define earnings quality broadly to be decision use fulness—in any decision by any
decision maker Thus the number of relevant articles is over 300,and by necess it your discussion is broad.
We emphasizetwosignificantconclusionsbasedonoursurveyoftheearningsqualityliteratureasawhole.First,
because alloftheproxiesforearningsqualitythatinvolveearnings(i.e.,propertiessuchaspersistence,timelyloss
recognition, smoothness,andsmallprofits,aswellastheERCs)haveattheircorethereportedaccrual-basedearnings
