Thailand received the support programs from the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank,
and the Asian Development Bank, which required institutional changes to strengthen financial sector regulation and supervision, increase transparency and comply with international practices and disclosures (Ficher 1998). Vichitsarawong et al. (2010) find that conservatism and timeliness of earnings during the crisis period are low, but improved in the post-crisis period. It is interesting to further examine whether the usefulness of earnings and cash flows has been improved after the accounting and corporate governance reforms. The value relevance of earnings and cash flows is predicted to improve in the postcrisis period. Nevertheless, it is unclear whether the value relevance of earnings and cash flows will change in a similar pattern.
