ability of accrual models. Statistic society is comprised of companies in Tehran Stock Exchange between
2002-2009. Using Cochran formula and presumptions for choosing the participating companies in the study,
88 companies were adopted randomly. First, correlation of models’ errors was calculated using Durbin-Watson
test, afterward correlation coefficient and test ‘F’ were applied. In doing so, effects of volatility of the rate of
inventory at the end of period to next year sale, along with sale and operation profit volatility were surveyed
as an index of changes in business environment on predictive ability of accrual model. Results showed that
volatility of the rate of inventory at the end of period to next year sale, sales and operation profits are effective
on predictive ability of models and The more volatility, less predictive power.
