Uniform accrual generating process grouping with self-organizing maps

作者:

Highlights:

• SOM local regression model outperforms commonly used discretionary accrual models.

• The second best performing model is the time-series Jones-model.

• The correlation between accrual determinants is partly non-linear.

• The accrual generating process is not homogenous over time nor within industries.
